DOWN TO THE WIRE: VLADIMIR Putin's spy ship armed with state-of-the-art stealth subs has been spotted lurking over UK internet cables, sparking fears they could be cut.

The Yantar was caught loitering above major undersea cables off the Irish coastline on Tuesday night in what is being viewed as Putin's latest push to scare the West.

The vessel was above at least one commercial sub-sea cable and was seen zig-zagging through seas north of Mayo and Donegal in an apparent search for more.

It then moved to the west of Killybegs fishing harbour before scuttling off into the Atlantic.

Ireland's Defence Force and NATO are on alert and monitoring the situation, according to The Times.

This comes as Putin's shadowy fleet of submarines continue a campaign of tampering with the West's vital undersea internet cables.

The vessels are operated by a shadowy branch of the Russian military that answers directly to Putin.

The subs are carried beneath an enormous "mothership" undersea vessel and are built to lurk at the bottom of the ocean - entering the Atlantic by sailing down from the Arctic.

They then use robotic arms to tamper with or even cut key cables that help keep the world's economy moving with potentially devastating consequences.

Even just severing cables has the capacity to bring Britain to a complete standstill, as a 2006 earthquake in the Luzon Strait between Taiwan and the Philippines showed.

There, six out of seven cables used to distribute internet and phone services from North America to Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and South Korea were severed.

That led a 100 per cent internet outage to Hong Kong and South East Asia, cutting off millions of citizens and businesses from internet and mobile phones.

It has been estimated that cutting three cables could lead to some countries losing 70 per cent of their data traffic.

'WE ARE EUROPE'S WEAKEST LINK'
The Yantar was operating outside Ireland's territorial waters but inside the exclusive economic zone.

The Irish Defence Forces said the ship was not breaking any UN convention on the law of the sea.

"Territorial waters are twelve nautical miles from the coast of Ireland and under UNCLOS, there is no restriction on ships operating on the high seas inside exclusive economic zones," a statement read.

With no sonar capability and no military radar to patrol its skies, Ireland is a prime target for deep-sea espionage.

One former intelligence officer said: "This type of activity has been going on wholesale for the last few years.

"It highlights the importance of having a properly resourced naval service and air corps to adequately monitor our areas of maritime responsibility.

"We are Europe’s weakest link in defence. We have no sonar capability. We have no military radar so we can’t even monitor our skies. No self-respecting nation would allow this to happen.

"Russia has discerned this weakness for themselves and are now taking full advantage."

'PRETTY SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT'
There are growing concerns that the Yantar may be preparing to cut off cables that carry internet between Ireland, Europe and North America.

Declan Power, a security analyst, said Yantar's presence was a "pretty serious development" for Ireland's national security.

Keir Giles, a senior Russia expert at Chatham House, said it was indicative of Russia's interest in Ireland.

"It’s plainly up to something. It’s a relatively new ship. They call it an oceanographic research vessel but the kind of research they undertake is generally not the kind we like."

In response, Britain has increased maritime surveillance ops and stepped up naval patrols.

RED OCTOBER
It comes as Putin has opened up a new front in the North Pole as he builds new military bases in the frozen wastes - giving him control of polar waters across 11 of the world’s time zones.

Tensions continue to simmer between the West and Russia who have both beefed up their presence in the polar region, which is believed to hold significant natural resources.

And cutting the undersea cables could be a key element in any conflict between the two sides.

Undersea cables crisscrossing the seafloor carry 97 per cent of internet traffic with $10 trillion worth of daily financial transactions dependent on them.

Cutting enough of the network in the Atlantic could cause chaos for Britain, with Air Marshall Sir Stuart Peach previously warning such a breach could be "catastrophic".

It could shut down the internet, cut Britain off from the rest of the world, paralyse financial transactions, and damage communications with the military overseas.
