"The UK and Norway are poised to sign a landmark defence pact, establishing a combined naval fleet specifically designed to track Russian submarines across the North Atlantic. This initiative aims to safeguard critical undersea cables, which face an escalating threat from Moscow, with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) noting a 30 per cent rise in Russian vessel sightings in UK waters over the past two years."
The UK and Norway will sign a defence pact establishing a combined naval fleet to track Russian submarines and safeguard critical undersea cables. The Ministry of Defence reported a 30 per cent rise in Russian vessel sightings in UK waters over the past two years. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hosted his Norwegian counterpart, Jonas Store, at RAF Lossiemouth. Maritime patrol crews have tracked Russian vessels such as the spy ship Yantar, which recently targeted one of their aircraft with lasers. The Lunna House agreement is backed by a £10 billion UK-Norway warship deal signed in September. Type 26 frigates to be built at BAE Systems in Glasgow will form at least 13 anti-submarine ships.
