The Royal Navy of Great Britain has been put on high alert again due to the appearance of Russian ships in the English Channel. On Wednesday, March 27, 2025, the minesweeper HMS Cattistock and a Wildcat helicopter were sent to escort the Russian hydrographic vessel Admiral Vladimirsky, which was sailing along the southern coast of the country.
According to British media, the Admiral Vladimirsky was moving across the English Channel in a northerly direction, which caused an immediate reaction from the Navy. The minesweeper and helicopter conducted continuous surveillance of the vessel, presumably used for reconnaissance. This is not the first case in recent months: in January 2025, similar measures were applied against the Russian ship Yantar, and in March against the frigate Boyky.
The frequent appearance of Russian vessels near British waters increases tensions in the region. According to experts, such actions may be part of a demonstration of military presence or data collection for future operations. Britain, in turn, is demonstrating its determination to protect its maritime borders by actively using ships and aircraft to intercept suspicious objects.
