Deploy your missiles!!
“We deployed a Royal Navy frigate and RAF planes to monitor and track this vessel’s every move, during which the Yantar directed lasers at our pilots.”
Tit-for-tat 💥 no more spy ship and it’s now our spy ship. Thanks for the hardware.

Russia is all bark, no bite. They’re only doing this for the fear tactic, just like they did with intentionally flying their jets into NATO airspace. We should start doing the same thing to them and stop listening to their empty threats.

Scuttle this floating scrap metal immediately!

Sink it with an undetected sub and deny all knowledge of what happened, it’s the way they like to play the game.

Commandeer it and scuttle it once the crew is detained for questioning. We’re not pirates or pushovers and we don’t have to tolerate bullying behaviour when it threatens our safety and sovereignty. If he wants to push the edges to see if we’ll take the bait, then just take it and let him make the next move.

They fired lasers at the pilots tracking them.
That’s an attack. Fucking sink it.

We’re tutting at it, how British

If it was up to me, I would have multiple ships near it pointing middle finger lasers at it 24/7 until they fuck off back to their wasteland.
Have you seen the ship, it looks like a rust bucket 😂😂😂

Pretty sure this is how Putin edges himself.

The thing looks like it’ll sink on its own soon enough, Russia must really be struggling if that’s their show of force.

If your territorial waters are challenged just blow up the f****** boat. Stop p**** footing around with these guys. You know what doesn’t map underground cables? Sunken spy boats.

Is this any different to the russian ships that are constantly in our waters?

Didn’t the US set the precedent that terrorists in international waters are fair game for missiles. Russia directly targets civilians to inspire terror in Ukraine and Russia, ipso facto, they are terrorists. Bombs away UK, everyone is doing it!

It’s the latest season of The Diplomat come to life.

If anyone in the UK military has a set, they should go steal the ship

Should board them, seize whatever intelligence they’re gathering, interrogate them, and send them on their merry way

It’s just an innocent research vessel mapping out pipelines and cables.. just for science purposes.
Sincerely.. Kremlin innocent research division for peaceful purposes and friendship.
Warns?
Like… you’re the defence secretary. What are you warning me for?
Be a shame if something happened to it.
Treat it as a incoming drug boat
we should send HMS Dragon over to shine their laser on that ship. Call it a de-rusting mission.
