The British Royal Navy raised the alarm over the appearance of Russian deep-sea drones off the coast of Scotland, but the alarm turned out to be false. The suspicious sounds were of natural origin, The Sun reported.
British naval hydroacoustic sensors detected strange sounds off the northwest coast of Scotland, near the Clyde nuclear submarine base.
Initially, the signal source was moving north, towards the open sea. But then it returned and moved south, towards the Skye Bridge on the Isle of Highland, before turning around and leaving.
The military suspected that these could be marine drones sent into British waters to collect acoustic signals from submarines. However, it turned out that the underwater sounds were just gases from a whale's intestines.
We analyzed the sounds and now believe it was a marine mammal. A whale.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the UK sent a submarine to spy on the Russian research vessel Yantar in the English Channel. The Ministry of Defense of the kingdom estimated that the warship was used to "collect intelligence and map critical underwater infrastructure."
