Russian warship carries out live-fire weapons exercise 46 miles off UK coast, MoD says
The frigate Neustrashimy fired for about 30 minutes after notifying HMS Tyne, while Royal Navy and French forces monitored the exercise.
- Yesterday, the Russian frigate Neustrashimy conducted a live-fire artillery exercise off the coast of Plymouth, the Ministry of Defence confirmed, noting the event lasted around 30 minutes.
- Shadowed by a Royal Navy ship and a French military aircraft, the Neustrashimy was monitored during the operation as part of an alliance commitment to tracking foreign naval activity.
- Maritime de-confliction protocols required the Neustrashimy to inform the navy offshore patrol vessel HMS Tyne of its intentions beforehand, serving as a critical safeguard against accidental escalation.
- The BBC reported that the warship carried out the live-fire drill, providing specific details on the maneuver as initially confirmed by the Ministry.
- Rapid deployment of surveillance assets like HMS Tyne was necessary for the exercise, as the operational tempo creates persistent resource strain on the navy during such maneuvers.
