俄罗斯的Yantar船堵塞GPS, 攻击苏格兰附近的英国船只和飞机, 引发英国军事警报和潜艇反应。 Russia’s Yantar vessel jammed GPS and targeted UK ships and planes near Scotland, prompting UK military alerts and a submarine response.

英国国防部长John Healey说,据称一艘俄罗斯研究船Yantar号对苏格兰附近的皇家海军护卫舰和RAF飞机使用全球定位系统干扰和激光攻击。 A Russian research vessel, the Yantar, allegedly used GPS jamming and laser targeting against a Royal Navy frigate and RAF aircraft near Scotland, UK Defence Secretary John Healey said. 这起事件是俄罗斯首次确认对英国军用飞机使用激光, 被贴上“极危险”标签。 The incident, the first confirmed use of lasers against UK military aircraft by Russia, was labeled "deeply dangerous." 虽然护卫舰的军事全球定位系统没有受到影响,但附近渔船上的民用系统受到干扰。 While the frigate’s military GPS was unaffected, civilian systems on nearby fishing vessels were disrupted. 与俄罗斯GUGI单位有关联并涉嫌绘制海底电缆的Yantar号在英国水域附近运行了数周。 The Yantar, linked to Russia’s GUGI unit and suspected of mapping undersea cables, has been operating near UK waters for weeks. 联合王国更新了接战规则,部署了一艘潜艇跟踪该船,警告说,进一步入侵可能会引发军事反应。 The UK has updated its rules of engagement and deployed a submarine to track the vessel, warning that further incursions could provoke a military response.
