But some commenters on Reddit assured me that Russia posed no threat to the UK, as we didn’t have a land border with them, their navy was decrepit and the warnings by key defence personnel about their capabilities was just fear-mongering for extra money…

Almost like the threat to the UK from Russia hasn’t gone away despite events in the Middle East, and perhaps deploying a Carrier Strike Group to that region instead of to the High North would actually damage the UK’s security more …

What exact goal this deployment achieves? Russian subs don’t need to be in UK waters to pose threat, they armed with transcontinental nuke warheads.
To blow some underwater communications simple yacht with hired divers is more than enough, as we know after Nord Streams destruction.

Hope these U-boats are not suitable for our rivers…

If they’re in our waters drop depth charges.

If Russian submarines are as well maintained as the rest of their navy tracking them would be as simple as following the oil slick.
