One of Vladimir Putinโs nuclear submarines has been spotted off the coast of Scotland, it has been reported.
Prime minister Rishi Sunak and and defence secretary Grant Shapps were told at a โsecretโ briefing that a Russian Yasen-class submarine was detected earlier in June.
An RAF surveillance plane trailed its movements along the west coast of Ireland to Scotland.
It is understood that the 13,800-tonne submarine Kazan crossed near to Britainโs nuclear naval base in Faslane without actually crossing territorial waters.
