UK Protector RG1 conducts 10-hour surveillance mission over Russian naval transit

Published 3 November 2026

Royal Air Force Protector RG1 drones—the British MQ-9B SkyGuardian variant—shadowed Russian warships including the frigate Neustrashimy during their English Channel passage for over ten hours, feeding intelligence to HMS Dauntless and HMS Tyne. The operation reflects growing integration of long-endurance armed ISR drones into UK maritime patrol and surface-fleet coordination.
