A Russian submarine being tracked by a British warship in the North Atlantic hit the sonar the vessel was carrying, according to the UK Defense Ministry.
“In late 2020, a Russian submarine that was being tracked by HMS Northumberland collided with its sonar,” a UK Defense Ministry spokesman said in a statement on Thursday (6).
The sonar – which is used to identify underwater equipment – was underwater, being carried by the British ship, when it suffered the impact.
“The Royal Navy regularly tracks foreign ships and submarines to ensure the UK’s defence,” the statement said.
According to the British Royal Navy, in 2020 HMS Northumberland carried out a “vital mission to protect the UK’s waters” and ensure the country’s nuclear protection.
