2025年11月,俄罗斯的Yantar间谍船被发现在爱尔兰海测绘英国-爱尔兰天然气管道,促使皇家海军作出反应,并强化了防御措施。 In November 2025, Russia’s Yantar spy ship was detected mapping a UK-Ireland gas pipeline in the Irish Sea, prompting a Royal Navy response and heightened defence measures.

2025年11月,联合王国国防来源在 " Yantar " 号研究船绘制爱尔兰海一条英国-爱尔兰重要天然气管道地图时,发现俄罗斯潜艇随同研究船 " Yantar " 号探测,促使皇家海军部署一艘猎杀潜水艇,并进行密切监测行动。 In November 2025, UK defence sources detected Russian submarines accompanying the research vessel Yantar as it mapped a critical UK-Ireland gas pipeline in the Irish Sea, prompting the Royal Navy to deploy a hunter-killer submarine and conduct a close monitoring operation. 据信是一艘间谍船的Yantar号短暂启用了马恩岛附近的跟踪信标,据报告,该信标向RAF飞行员发射激光,引起高度警戒、加密通信和潜水员检查输油管。 The Yantar, believed to be a spy ship, briefly activated its tracking beacon near the Isle of Man and was reported to have directed lasers at RAF pilots, prompting heightened alerts, encrypted communications, and divers’ inspections of the pipeline. 英国官员将此举归因于俄罗斯扩大的灰色地带行动，利用爱尔兰的中立性对海底基础设施进行调查，包括能源和通信电缆。 UK officials attribute the activity to Russia’s expanding grey-zone operations, leveraging Ireland’s neutrality to survey undersea infrastructure, including energy and communication cables. 英国增加了海上巡逻,设立了一个安全监督委员会,并在俄罗斯在英国水域附近海军活动增加30%的情况下增加了国防开支。 The UK has increased maritime patrols, established a security oversight board, and raised defence spending amid a 30% rise in Russian naval activity near British waters.
