Read Time:46 Second

A Russian naval vessel equipped with hypersonic missiles has navigated through the English Channel, drawing close monitoring from British forces. The frigate Admiral Golovko, from Russia’s northern fleet, conducted military exercises including anti-submarine and anti-aircraft drills during its passage, prompting the deployment of HMS Iron Duke as an escort vessel.

The warship’s journey originated from its northern base in Severomorsk, proceeding through the Barents and Norwegian Seas before entering the Channel. This naval movement coincided with recent statements by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer regarding Russian military activities.

Russia’s defense ministry characterized the deployment as part of its routine naval presence in international waterways. The passage underscores the continuing strategic interplay between Russian and Western military forces, with the English Channel serving as a significant maritime corridor.

The Royal Navy maintains active surveillance of the Russian vessel’s movements as it transits through these waters, highlighting the ongoing vigilance of British maritime defenses.
