Russia probes UK defenses
The head of the Royal Navy, Sir Gwyn Jenkins, warned that Russia is looking for weaknesses in the UK’s defences and testing its ability to counter threats. He said the risk of a confrontation is growing, but is not inevitable if London strengthens its readiness. The UK has allocated £90 million for drones and sensors to protect undersea cables and monitor Russian activity. It has also earmarked around £1.5 billion to develop hybrid maritime operations over the next four years. Plans to modernise the fleet include new ships and submarines, as well as uncrewed systems, with the aim of increasing the number of vessels in service and strengthening cooperation with NATO.
