Could Britain survive a Russia-style drone onslaught?

In this explosive episode of Battle Lines, Venetia Rainey is
asking the question everyone else is too afraid to: is Britain
ready for a Russian-style drone onslaught? Drones have been
spotted across Europe — Poland, Germany, Denmark, Belgium —
sparking fears of a new kind of hybrid war. Could the UK defend
itself if those drones turned up on our shores? To find out,
Venetia is joined by ex-RAF pilot and CEO of FlyBy Technology,
Jon Parker, and The Telegraph's senior foreign correspondent,
Memphis Barker. Their verdict? Britain’s readiness score — a
pitiful two or three out of ten. This is a wake-up call.
