It was also established there had been contact with a phone belonging to Uddin more than 1,000 times.Īn iPhone found by police at a raid in Livingstone Place was found to belong to Mr Uddin and on November 30, he was found acting suspiciously in Conway Road. Prosecutor Ruth Smith said the police investigation began on September 17 when text messages were obtained from network provider EE which showed the phone, belonging to Seivwright had been used to facilitate the sale of crack cocaine. Warning over ‘very strong’ diazepam after user treated in hospital.Drug dealer caught after police see his Facebook messages.The defendants were the subject of a police investigation which monitored the drugs line, resulting in six phones being used in an attempt to avoid detection.Ī sentencing hearing at Cardiff Crown Court on Tuesday heard a "conservative estimate" of the amount of crack cocaine sold by Seivwright through the drugs line between July 1 and December 14, 2020, was in the region of 1.1 kilos. Sales were made via a Newport based drugs telephone line, named after Seivwright's nickname Sanca, which would send out "text bombs" and advertisements to potential customers. The operation was run by Ellis Seivwright, 21, who used his links with wholesale sellers to purchase vast amounts of class A drugs which were sold by runners, including Jhaid Uddin, 22. No doubt Ukraine’s leaders will wish they had subs of their own.An organised crime drugs operation saw more than one kilo of crack cocaine worth £118,000 sold to almost 3,000 customers over several months. But they are powerless to do anything about Russia’s submarines. The Ukrainians with their new Neptune anti-ship missiles-and TB-2 drones to cue them-aren’t totally powerless to resist Russia’s surface ships. In wartime, the Kilos might hunt down Ukraine’s handful of surface warships in order to clear a path for an amphibious assault, then park off the coast, from where they can lob cruise missiles at targets deep inland. ![]() Today the Russian Black Sea Fleet with its six improved Kilo-class submarines has, after Turkey, the second-most-powerful sub flotilla in the region. Zaporizhzhia’s capture accelerated the inevitable dissolution of Kiev’s undersea capability. “In five years we will lack those who want and are able to serve in a submarine force wherever it’d be needed,” a Ukrainian admiral admitted. More to the point, by 2012 the Ukrainian navy had been without a functional submarine for so many years that it no longer could sustain a roster of qualified, experienced submariners. Consider that, during the 1982 Falklands War, the Royal Navy deployed 12 surface ships, two dozen helicopters and six of its own subs in a vain effort to hunt down the Argentinian sub San Luis.īut Zaporizhzhia was old and probably unsafe. Even a couple of submarines greatly can complicate an enemy fleet’s operations. It’s not clear Kiev would have wanted her back. While Moscow eventually returned many Ukrainian warships it seized in Crimea, it kept-and later scrapped-the ancient Zaporizhzhia. As half her crew defected, her skipper handed the boat over to the Russians. But when Russian forces seized Crimea in February 2014, Zaporizhzhia was idling pier-side. ![]()
