YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA Russian spy ship has come dangerously close to British territorial waters and has used lasers to dazzle RAF pilots. Defence Secretary John Healey calls the move “deeply dangerous” and confirms the vessel has been mapping the UK’s undersea cables, which carry up to 98% of Britain’s internet traffic.
LBC's Reporter Joseph Draper joins Andrew Marr with details from the Defence Secretary’s briefing.
Rear Admiral Chris Parry, former NATO commander, warns that Russia is “doing everything short of war,” escalating in the grey zone, targeting Britain’s vulnerabilities in both the seas and space. He says the UK Navy is “not fit for purpose” and that the country has been caught unprepared after years of ignoring warnings.
A troubling conversation about Britain’s defences, Russia’s tactics, and what comes next for national security.
