Update: 2025-12-08
Description
The First Sea Lord, General Sir Gwyn Jenkins, warns of a potential Russian dominance in the North Atlantic due to the Royal Navys submarine shortage. He acknowledges the current military weakness and the increased Russian ship activity in the region. Russia aims to exploit the UKs vulnerabilities, threatening supply lines, undersea communication cables, and energy pipelines. Defence Secretary John Healey shares concerns about the availability of hunter-killer submarines and the growing threat to undersea cables. The government is building new submarines and warships to strengthen naval capabilities and plans to modernize the fleet with hundreds of crewless submarines and warships by 2030. Former Royal Navy chiefs back Sir Gwyns warnings, emphasizing the underestimated Russian submarine threat.
