Russia Could Threaten Internet Cables in Underwater Attacks--Navy Chief
Russia's growing underwater program could threaten cables lying in the sea and risk the world's communications networks, the head of Britain's armed forces has warned.
Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, 56, told The Times of London about his fears over the "phenomenal increase in Russian submarine and underwater activity" over the last two decades, which he warned was "more than about submarines."
He said Russia's underwater program intended to "put at risk and potentially exploit" the undersea cables that provide the world's "real information system."
"That is where predominantly all the world's information and traffic travels," he told the paper. "Russia has grown the capability to put at threat those undersea cables and potentially exploit those undersea cables."
