A Scottish fishing boat skipper Angus Macleod has reported a terrifying brush with what is believed to be a rogue Russian submarine inside British waters in the North Sea. Macleod said he and his four crew were “extremely lucky” to survive the incident in which his net was dragged in front of his 62ft trawler. He has claimed that the submerged object almost pulled the boat and crew under the waves and his boat Aquarius was nearly dragged to a watery grave. “It was not a whale - we have had whales in the nets before and the net is all twisted afterwards. Experts say it was “very likely” that Russian submarines would be prowling the shores ahead of planned British war games. The Royal Navy has said there were no British or NATO submarines in the area at the time.
