Britain’s Royal Navy confuses flatulent whale for Russian drones – reports
- The Royal Navy of the United Kingdom launched a hunt for suspected Russian drones after detecting unusual sounds in the water, which were later identified as coming from a gassy whale, an official told The Sun.
- Concerns arose that Russian President Vladimir Putin's drone submarines had placed a listening device on the ocean floor, prompting an inquiry by naval authorities.
- The sounds, initially thought to be man-made, had never been detected before, leading to fears that Russia's deep-sea research unit, known as GUGI, was trying to capture the acoustic characteristics of UK submarines.
- Despite identifying the source as a marine mammal, officials emphasized they take all threats seriously, as stated by a navy spokesperson.
