Russian Warship Holds Live-Fire Exercise 40 Miles Off Plymouth
The drill lasted about 30 minutes and was monitored by Royal Navy vessels and NATO aircraft after the ship warned HMS Tyne.
- A Russian warship, the Neustrashimy, conducted a 30-minute live-fire artillery exercise about 40 nautical miles south of Plymouth in international waters, which the Royal Navy monitored without intervening.
- French military aircraft tracked the Neustrashimy, contacted it by radio to clarify its intentions, and the warship asked the UK vessel HMS Tyne to move to a safer distance during the exercise.
- The Neustrashimy is part of Russia's Baltic Fleet and has been previously observed near the UK, including in the North Sea where it was resupplied by a Russian support ship.

The Royal Navy monitored the exercise and closely monitored the vessel's activity, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense on Tuesday, while the new British Defence Minister, Wes Streeting, classified the action as "irresponsible."
