Russia's 'shadow fleet' makes mockery of UK naval power "On 9 April, two Russian "shadow" oil tankers were escorted through the channel by a Russian navy frigate armed with all manner of weapons, including anti-ship missiles. In response, the Royal Navy could only muster an auxiliary fuel tanker to follow it helplessly. The Daily Telegraph reported on this heroic operation from the deck of a 40-foot fishing boat following in the tanker’s wake." https://responsiblestatecraft.org/uk-russia-shadow-fleet/ #UKPol #Russia
