When a British submarine surfaced in the North Sea to warn off a
Russian spy vessel sailing just 45 miles from the British mainland,
a series of shadowy maritime sabotage incidents burst onto the
front pages and into public consciousness. In the past year
undersea cables vital to European digital infrastructure have been
targeted for damage - most notably in the Baltic Sea. With blame
difficult to pinpoint, suspicion has fallen on Russia, which
Western security services have warned is engaged in ‘hybrid
warfare’ - utilising sabotage, cyber attacks and other non-military
hostile acts - in a bid to weaken NATO countries and destabilise
Western democracies. In the latest episode of This Is Not A
Drill, Gavin Esler discusses the threat to European infrastructure
from undersea sabotage with Sophia Besch, a senior fellow in the
Europe Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
And to assess the wider threat from potential hybrid warfare
operations we hear from Ian Bond, deputy director of the Centre for
European Reform. • Go to http://proton.me/notadrill to receive a
