UPD: 17/04/2015 British fishermen announced the collision of their trawler with a Russian submarine

British fishermen reported a possible collision of a British trawler with a Russian submarine in the Irish Sea.

This is reported by the Russian Air Force.

The crew of the fishing vessel reported that on Wednesday an unknown underwater object caught the trawl and dragged the ship towards the Isle of Man.

According to the head of the Association of Fishers of Northern Ireland, Dick James, it may be a Russian submarine that followed the naval exercises of NATO off the coast of Scotland.

The British Ministry of Defense declined to comment on these allegations.

According to James, fishing vessels relatively often hook their submarines. If it were a British submarine, it would have to stop and surf to the surface to make sure the safety of the fishermen.

"Skipper Paul Murphy says that he waited for 10 minutes that the submarine will surface," added Dick James.

According to the skipper, the crew was busy catching shrimp in the area of ​​the Isle of Man on Wednesday afternoon, when the incident occurred. The fishermen thought that the ship would certainly turn over, and believe that they were lucky. Trawler for ten minutes moved stern forward, carried away by a captured submarine trawl. As the skipper says, this unusual trajectory of the vessel's movement is fixed by three on-board global positioning systems. Trawler "Karen" received serious damage to the hull, and its repair can cost 10 thousand pounds.

The British authorities do not comment on this incident, but Tim Ripley, who works with the famous military magazine Jane's Defense, believes that the assumptions about involvement in the incident of the Russian Navy are justified. "The Royal Navy seems to be saying that the submarine is not theirs." He also speaks on behalf of NATO, as he coordinates the movement of all the Allied submarine vessels in British territorial waters, "Ripley said.

"If it's not the British and not the Americans, it's worth looking east." In these waters, maneuvers are taking place in recent days, and the Russians are known for enjoying watching such exercises, and therefore there is a strong possibility that they sent one of their submarines In the area of ​​maneuvers, "he concludes.
