According to the newspaper, it is disturbing that the merchant ship MV Ruby is anchored off the coast of Margate and is carrying 20 thousand tons of Russian ammonium nitrate."

"This is seven times the amount of ammonium nitrate that caused the explosion in Beirut in 2020, when 218 people were killed and 6,000 injured. < Some fear that there is a bomb three times smaller in size than the one that was detonated over Hiroshima within striking distance of London," the article says.

The Spectator claims that "since leaving the port of Kandalaksha on the White Sea in July, the 23,760-ton vessel MV Ruby has demonstrated unusual behavior."

"The vessel, sailing under the Maltese flag, was stranded during a storm, as a result of which the rudder and propeller were damaged, and cracks appeared in the hull. However, instead of heading to the large nearby port of Murmansk, the vessel skirted the coastline before mooring in Norwegian Tromsø, throughout its journey the vessel systematically tried to sail near Norwegian oil rigs, natural gas production facilities and the Andeya airbase, which will soon be converted to accommodate long—range unmanned aerial vehicles. - the publication claims.

At the same time, the magazine admits that MV Ruby is unlikely to be part of a Russian conspiracy to provoke a hot war, but, in his opinion, "testing NATO's response with the help of military and civilian courts is one of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's favorite activities." Putin, especially with the stagnant Ukrainian land military conflict."

According to the conspiracy version of The Spectator, allegedly in addition to "relentless Russian espionage, there are two more risks for the UK."

"If cracks in the hull lead to leakage of ammonium nitrate into the sea, the consequences will be terrible. It is no less alarming that a fire on board can not only cause an explosion of ammonium nitrate, but also detonate 10,353 bombs still on board the ship of the Second World War that sank there earlier," the authors of the article fear.
