Defence Secretary John Healey last week revealed the research vessel Yantar had been spotted lurking north of Scotland and attempted to blind RAF pilots using military-grade lasers.
Russian spy ship Yantar, with a full complement of knobbly-headed Ivans, was spotted north of Scotland this week.
Defence Secretary John Healey condemns the Yantar's actions as 'deeply dangerous' and says Britain is poised to react.
The movements of the Yantar is a worry for Britain's defence chiefs and provocative.
"We see you. We know what you’re doing. If the Yantar travels south this week, we are ready," Defense Secretary John Healey said in a messaged aimed at Putin.
British officials said the Yantar is part of the Russian navy, designed to conduct surveillance in peacetime and sabotage during times of war.
Britain was today monitoring the Russian spy ship Yantar on the edge of UK waters, in the same week as MI5 issued warning over spying threats from China.
John Healey said Yantar's actions were "deeply dangerous" and military options were ready if the vessel changed course.
