| Source measurement | — | Yantar was designed by the CMDB Almaz Design Bureau in Saint Petersburg , and the hull was laid down on 8 July 2010. It was launched in December 2012, and concluded its sea trials in May 2015. The ship has a length of 108 metres (354 ft) and a full displacement of 5,736 tons. It uses diesel-electric propulsion for a top speed of approximately 15 knots (28 km/h; 17 mph). It officially has a complement of 60. The ship was built at the Yantar Shipyard in Kaliningrad .[source]Russian research vessel Yantar · Design and construction; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Yantar can act as a mothership to mini-subs . The United States Navy has stated that the submersibles are able to sever cables miles beneath the ocean's surface. The submersibles are reportedly capable of operating at depths of up to 6,000 metres (20,000 ft). The submersibles are reportedly the project 16810 Rus -class submersible and the project 16811 Konsul -class submersible.[source]Russian research vessel Yantar · Roles; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 11 and 12 September 2023, while being followed by the Norwegian Coast Guard vessel NoCGV Barentshav in the Fram Strait , Yantar closely followed Kronprins Haakon for 16.5 hours. The Russian ship was operating without AIS and would overtly copy all of the research vessel's stops and movements, at one point closing to a distance of 200–370 metres. While the Norwegian Polar Institute characterised the incident as " harassment ", and the Royal Norwegian Navy reportedly keeps a close eye on the Russian intelligence vessel, all relevant Norwegian authorities assessed that Yantar acted in accordance with international maritime law .[source]Russian research vessel Yantar · Activities; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 19 November 2025, British Defence Secretary John Healey , stated that the intelligence-gathering Yantar had entered the United Kingdom’s wider waters north of Scotland during the previous weeks, and was allegedly engaging in espionage and the mapping of UK's undersea cables . The vessel came within 45 miles of the British coast. In response, the UK deployed a Royal Navy frigate and RAF P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft to monitor and track the ship, during which Yantar reportedly directed Dazzler lasers at the pilots. Healey described the Russian actions as "deeply dangerous", noting that this was the second visit of Yantar to UK waters in the same year, and warning that Britain was prepared to respond if the vessel attempted to travel further south.[source]Russian research vessel Yantar · Activities; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
