A Russian guided-missile frigate monitored by the Royal Navy conducted live-fire exercises in international waters 40 nautical miles south of Plymouth yesterday, raising concerns over recent naval posturing.<\/p>\n
The Russian frigate “Neustrashimy” carried out live-fire drills while being shadowed by the British patrol vessel HMS Tyne. The Russian crew informed the British ship of their intent to fire and demanded it move to a safe distance, with the exercises lasting approximately thirty minutes.<\/p>\n
British media outlets, including The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian, suggest the event may have been a show of force aimed at the new British Prime Minister. Sources within the Ministry of Defence described the maneuver as highly unusual, given the heavy traffic of vessels in the area.<\/p>\n
Former British military commander Lord Richard Dannatt stated that the timing of the exercises is likely not coincidental, serving as a signal from the Kremlin. The Neustrashimy is equipped with anti-ship cruise missiles and a 100mm naval gun capable of firing 50 rounds per minute.<\/p>\n
Tensions between Moscow and London at sea have increased recently. The Guardian noted past incidents, including Royal Marines boarding a Russian tanker and a separate instance where a Russian frigate fired warning shots at a yacht in the English Channel.<\/p>\n
