A Russian naval vessel is positioned 30 miles off the UK coast, stationary near the Galloper offshore wind farm off Suffolk. The ship, identified as the PM-82, is an Amur-class repair vessel measuring 122 metres in length, designed to maintain Vladimir Putin's Baltic fleet.
The wind farm powers over 400,000 British homes. The presence of the Russian ship underscores a growing maritime threat to the UK and its European allies, as Moscow intensifies its so-called 'grey war' against the West.
Recent months have seen Russian 'shadow fleet' vessels brazenly sail through UK waters and interfere with undersea cables in the Baltic and Atlantic seas, raising concerns over national security and critical infrastructure.
