UK's gaps in Arctic defence leave it open to Russian attacks, committee warns
A report by MPs urges the UK to address capability gaps including a lack of Royal Navy warships and submarines, as Russia seeks to dominate the region.
The Commons Defence Committee said a shortage of Royal Navy warships and submarines was leaving the country's critical infrastructure in the High North, including undersea cables and energy supplies, exposed.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it is "clear-eyed about the threat Russia posed" and is investing heavily to protect Britain's undersea cables.
In the event of a conflict, the report added that Russia could threaten the UK's population, civilian and military infrastructure and vital supply routes across the Atlantic from the US.
