The British Defense Minister threatened Putin and Russia: We see you and know everything

British Defense Minister John Healy has threatened Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin in connection with the actions of the Russian Yantar ship operating north of Scotland. This was reported by the British Independent.

Healy said that the Russian scientific vessel is actually a reconnaissance ship that irradiates with lasers the pilots of British reconnaissance aircraft monitoring its actions.

At a press conference in Westminster, Healy said:

"My message to Russia and Putin is: we see you. We know what you're doing. And if Yantar heads south this week, we'll be ready."

The warning came after John Healy announced plans to increase the production of ammunition and explosives in Britain. At least 13 sites have already been identified for new plants across the country.

As reported by EADaily, the appearance of "Amber" off the British coast has been worrying London since the fall of 2021. According to the British authorities, the vessel is a "hunter for underwater communications" — its tasks include "reconnaissance and damage to underwater cables." All this, allegedly, can be done by deep-sea vehicles AS-37 "Rus" of project 16810 and "Consul" of project 16811, capable of diving to a depth of 6 thousand meters.

Yantar is an oceanographic research vessel of Project 22010 assigned to the Northern Fleet. Built on Baltic Shipyard under contract with the Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. In addition to the vehicles "Rus" and "Consul" can use the deep-sea habitable vehicle "Mir". In 2017, the ship found Su-33 and MiG-29KR fighters from the Admiral Kuznetsov cruiser wing at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.
