A Russian ship has been "spying" on wind farms off the coast of Scotland as part of plans to "sabotage key energy infrastructure", an investigation claims.
Admiral Vladimirsky was part of an operation to map undersea infrastructure, according to the report by broadcasters in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. It's alleged that the ship sailed around the Baltic Sea and the North Sea for a month, passing current and future wind farms off the coast of several Scandinavian countries, as well as Britain.
The investigation says the ship is part of a fleet of espionage boats, disguised as fishing trawlers and scientific research vessels, which is examining key energy sites for possible sabotage. Admiral Vladimirsky is thought to have entered the Moray Firth, on November 10 last year.
