A Russian Amur-class
naval repair ship has been observed around 30 miles off the UK coast near
the Galloper offshore wind farm, according to media reports.
The vessel, identified
as PM-82, was reportedly stationary near the Galloper offshore wind farm
off the Suffolk coast.
NATO has confirmed
allied forces are monitoring the ship’s movements, with Dutch naval units
reported to be shadowing it in the North Sea.
The sighting comes
amid increased scrutiny of Russian naval activity near offshore energy
assets and subsea infrastructure across northern Europe.
