UK and NATO Dive Deep for Russian Submarines in the Norwegian Sea
Rapid Response from the Arctic to the UK
- Since Sunday, NATO warplanes have been scrambling the Norwegian Sea.
- At least 27 sorties have flown from the Poseidon submarine hunters.
- Norway’s Air Force staged three sorties from Evenes Air Base near Narvik.
- The Royal Air Force launched eight P‑8A Poseidon flights from RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland.
Not a Routine Exercise
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) confirmed the operation is a “highly unusual surge” and is strictly protecting national interests. No official details are being released for security reasons.
Leaders Speak How the Allies Stay on Top
- Ryan Ramsay, a former Royal Navy submarine commander, told MailOnline that NATO is proving its control and either has spotted the submarine or is still on the hunt.
- Tom Sharpe added that the operation looks like a direct strike on a Russian sub, sending a clear message:
We see you.
What’s the Bottom Line?
The Poseidons are acting like deep‑sea detectives with a touch of a modern-day treasure hunt. Whether they’ve caught the culprit or are still chasing the waves, the dramatic surge in patrols sends a strong, unmistakable signal to Russia: We’re watching every bubble.
