The Royal Navy has unveiled some of the ways it plans to counter what the government regards as an increasingly serious threat from Russia to the UK’s undersea infrastructure.
They include new technologies and prototypes, such as unmanned surface vessels, helicopters and autonomous submarine gliders.

Russia says its the UK government that’s being provocative.
