Royal Navy Tracks Russian Warship Armed With Hypersonic Missiles

Royal Navy has tracked a Russian warship armed with hypersonic missiles.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a Russian missile frigate armed with deadly hypersonic bombs is currently being tracked by the Royal Navy in the North Sea as it sails dangerously close to the UK.

The HMS Portland is monitoring the Russian-guided missile frigate Admiral Gorshkov, accompanied by a 115-metre Russian-registered tanker called Kama.

EDITOR’S PICKS

The Royal Navy’s Portland set off from the UK with her specialist Merlin helicopter, which specialises in submarine hunting, to track and report on the movements of the two Russian ships through the North Sea.

The Type 23 frigate military vessel joined the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel Bergen to track the Russian warship while it transitioned from the Norwegian Sea into the North Sea.
