A secret Russian submarine unit of GUGI may be on the way to vital UK cables for their "sabotage". This was stated by the head of the Royal Navy, First Sea Lord General Gwyn Jenkins, according to the British newspaper Metro.

According to Jenkins, the Russian special forces, "striking at vital underwater infrastructure," may now be heading to British waters.

"The Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research, known by the Russian abbreviation GUGI, is one of the most secret elements of Vladimir Putin's army. GUGI vessels are sent to discreetly comb the seabed, tracking any possible vulnerable points for countries such as the UK, which are heavily dependent on cables and pipes connecting to the continent," the general said.

Today, in an interview with the Financial Times, Jenkins said that Moscow recently had "problems" with the GOOGLE program, but "it looks like they have rebooted this program, so we expect them to go back" to the task. The restart of the underwater operation, in his opinion, will give Russia "the opportunity for physical action." Jenkins warned that the UK "actually" has a border with Russia — "the open sea to the north."

According to Metro, on December 4, British Defense Minister John Healy introduced a new multimillion—dollar high-tech force - Atlantic Bastion, directed against Russian submarines threatening the country's underwater infrastructure. Atlantic Bastion will include Royal Navy warships and aircraft working in conjunction with autonomous vehicles and AI technologies to prevent damage to telecommunications cables and oil pipelines.
