The Defence Forces scrambled to deploy ships and aircraft this week after spotting two Russian government vessels off the west coast equipped with technology capable of interfering with subsea cables.

Suspicions were raised when the ships were spotted loitering near a newly operational communications cable linking Ireland and Iceland.

Both ships had been involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, resulting in them being sanctioned by the US government.

After being spotted earlier this week, the ships were put under surveillance by Air Corps aircraft and Naval Service assets. However, later analysis determined the ships’ unusual movements were probably a result of efforts to avoid bad weather, rather than anything sinister.
