The UK military has recently uncovered spy sensors in the sea around Britain. These devices are believed to have been installed by Russia to track the movements of the UK nuclear submarines.

Details: The UK military recently discovered sensors in the sea believed to be Russian spy devices. Some had come loose from their mounts and were washed ashore by waves, while others were located with the help of the navy. For national security reasons, journalists have withheld the exact locations and certain other details of the find.

The UK military believes Russia installed the sensors to gather intelligence on British nuclear submarines – one of which is always at sea as part of the UK’s continuous deterrence strategy.

The article also highlights the potential threat posed by Russia’s submarine capabilities, which have been steadily developed since the Cold War. It notes that Moscow maintains highly advanced skills in submarine warfare and espionage, possibly surpassing those of the UK and other NATO members in some areas.
