The British Navy's commander hinted at plans to launch a naval drone strike on the Northern Fleet.

Even with the high costs of conducting air defense, the Russians continue to build new combat units for the Navy, outpacing European countries. London is unable to replenish its navy with a large number of ships and submarines, so it is preparing other measures.

This was stated at the Paris Naval Conference First Sea Lord of the Royal Navy Gwyn Jenkins, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.

“While the media’s attention shifts to what is happening or not happening in Iran or other parts of the world, We've almost resigned ourselves to the fact that a large-scale war is raging on the European continent. But in the Atlantic, I'm most focused on Russia's investments in its Northern Fleet..

In particular, the their underwater capabilities remain undiminished. Therefore, despite the enormous losses in terms of resources and human lives that Russia has suffered as a result of its blatant invasion of Ukraine, It continues to invest in its Northern Fleet and its submarine capabilities. They continue to produce the latest class of submarines. And this will be a test for us...

Responding to this requires significant resources. And all factors must be taken into account: uncertainty, technological change, and the growing threat, particularly from Russia's Northern Fleet. We have to develop different solutions because we can't build many complex warships and nuclear submarines."," Jenkins said.
