Earlier in the day, it was reported that that a Russian submarine had been "intercepted" as it was expected to pass the strait of Dover, thanks to joint UK-NATO efforts.
"The Russian Defense Ministry is surprised that joint UK-NATO efforts were required to discover a submarine traveling in a surfaced position at slow speed, accompanied by a tugboat. It would have been strange if the Royal Navy together with its NATO allies failed to notice the submarine, particularly considering the fact that our sailors have been greeted — according to an old tradition — by passing merchant vessels from different countries in the Barents, Norwegian and North seas over the past days," the ministry said in a statement.
