Experts believe that the British Navy's new mine detection ship can be used for sabotage purposes

The Royal Navy has received a new ship that will soon be used to launch drones and protect British waters from mines. This is how its functionality is officially announced.

The vessel, almost 100 meters long, will be based at the naval base of the British fleet Clyde in Scotland. It will reportedly work side by side with the autonomous naval mine detection systems already in operation by the Royal Navy.



The new ship is actually not entirely new. This vessel was built in 2013 and used for civilian purposes. The country's Ministry of Defense bought it from Island Offshore for about $50 million.

The ship is currently at the Royal Navy's Devonport naval base near Plymouth, where it will undergo refitting and preparation for transfer to the Royal Navy's auxiliary fleet.

This vessel will play a critical role in detecting underwater threats, protecting us from danger during life-saving operations.

Defense Acquisition Minister Alex Chalk said.

As it became known, the converted ship will begin service in the spring of this year.

According to Vice Admiral Paul Marshall, this ship was selected from a variety of options as a result of long research work and will be an important part of the fleet in countering the growing threat posed by mines at sea.

Experts believe that the same British Navy ship can also be used to carry out sabotage activities at sea, including laying mines at a certain depth. He will also be able to use naval Drones.

      I agree on the northern stream, but on the southern one, the Turks themselves will drown it if it comes close. hi

    And, again, an owl on the globe.

    The stump "can" is clear. On an ordinary boat, they can also throw saboteurs in scuba gear. And here is the whole ship

      That's just the "owl on the globe" the author did not try to pull. The characteristics of the ship, equipment, its purpose allows us to conclude that it can also be used for sabotage operations.
      On an ordinary boat, saboteurs can also be in aquaоthrow langs.
      How far can a conventional boat sail from coastal waters? Well, if only in aqua langs and on the British coast, then of course.

    The streams have not yet blown up, and the Britons are already preoccupied with countering drones from underwater saboteurs. Now they are strengthening it. They judge by themselves or the hat on the thief and burns!

    Yes, in fact, it was made only for this, and the mines are just a cover! Or one helps the other!
