Warships and helicopters have been deployed to the Scottish coast by the Royal Navy after the Russian spy ship 'Yuri Ivanov' was spotted. The HMS 'Dragon' was tasked with monitoring the intelligence gathering vessel, as it loitered in waters off the Outer Hebrides following the completion of the major NATO exercise Formidable Shield. The destroyer also launched its Merlin helicopter to collect information.The 'Yuri Ivanov' eventually scurried home to its base in the Arctic. The Operation Formidable Shield was a NATO naval exercise focused on integrated air and missile defense, suring which the Royal Navy successfully intercepted a supersonic missile off the coast of Scotland. The incident with the 'Yuri Ivanov' was the second time the Royal Navy was forced to deploy in the last month due to Russian activity in UK waters.
