Russia's capabilities in the field of defense and military cannot be underestimated. The country, which is led by President Vladimir Putin, continues to innovate in their own defense products.
Not only that, Russia is also aggressively promoting and selling their defense equipment to other countries, even though it is currently being blocked by economic sanctions from the United States. The progress of Russia's defense equipment is also followed by the ability of this country's military forces.
Even now Russia is said to be preparing itself to be able to carry out an unexpected attack that has a fatal impact on the whole world. This secret Russian attack was not carried out from the air or land, but from the depths of the ocean.
If Britain has nuclear submarines that continue to patrol to secure the country, Russia is also strongly suspected of deploying killer submarines that move non-stop in the ocean.
Russia's underwater activities cause new fears and horrors for other countries. According to an article from the Express, Putin is reportedly working on a war plan with increased underwater activity.
One of Britain's defense chiefs, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, said Russian submarine activity had increased dramatically over the past two decades.
"There has been a phenomenal increase in Russian submarine and submarine activity in the last 20 years," said Sir Tony Radakin.
However, Radakin believes that the main problem is not with Russian submarines, but that there is a more serious threat. Russia is suspected of being able to cripple any country in the world if this underwater plan is successful.
According to him, Russia has a strong potential to exploit the world's information systems by attacking underwater network cables scattered around the world.
"That's where the world's information flows. Russia is developing capabilities to threaten underwater optical cables and potentially exploit them," continued Sir Tony Radakin.
Destroying or damaging information cables under the sea can be considered an act of war. In the modern era like today, the function of submarine cables is very crucial because they are network traffic.
Russia's action is known after a British Royal Navy warship crashed into a Russian submarine in the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday (6/1/2022) yesterday.
The Russian submarine hit a sonar cable being towed behind the warship HMS Northumberland and forced the British to pull over for repairs. The British type 23 frigate is currently on a mission to thaw the Russian submarine.
According to reports, the Russian submarine dragged the sonar cable in the submarine's hull bag so that the cable was badly damaged and rendered unusable. The question is whether crashing and damaging the sonar cable was a deliberate act or not?
"Ship and submarine detection is not an exact science. It could be a wrong melee decoy," said former frigate captain Commander Tom Sharpe, quoted from The Sun.
A British Navy source believes that an accident involving a sonar cable is a fairly rare event. Russia's reckless actions to attack and damage an underwater sonar cable has now led to a great deal of speculation.
