THE Royal Navy has stalked scores of Russian warships around the UK in the past two years, a defence minister has revealed.

Vessels from Vladimir Putin’s armed forces were tracked more than 100 times as they sailed past Britain, Baroness Annabel Goldie said.

The Conservative peer also told how Royal Navy submarines had shadowed their counterparts Kremlin in British waters.

The revelation will strike fear into Moscow as submarines are supposed to be able to go undetected.
