Royal Navy Warships Scrambled From Portsmouth to Stalk Russian Vessels

UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 8 – The Royal Navy tracked five Russian vessels using advanced sonar and helicopters during joint NATO exercises focused on anti-submarine warfare and maritime security, officials said.

  • Between 1 and 8 July 2025, Royal Navy vessels HMS Iron Duke and HMS Tyne, supported by Wildcat helicopters, monitored the movement of five Russian ships—including two corvettes, a tanker, a bulk carrier, and a training vessel—as they transited UK maritime areas such as the North Sea and English Channel.
  • This activity occurred amid three operations from 1 to 8 July involving Wildcat helicopters and reflected ongoing Russian naval traffic close to the UK.
  • After completing scheduled maintenance in Devonport, HMS Iron Duke returned to operational duties, marking its seventeenth deployment as the Royal Navy’s Fleet Ready Escort within the past year.
  • Commander David Armstrong stated, "It is great to be back at sea protecting the UK's territorial Seas and Critical National Infrastructure," highlighting professionalism and resilience.
  • The week’s operations also showcased interoperability with NATO and a strategic partnership with Ukraine through mine countermeasures during Exercise Sea Breeze.
