£90 million investment for new drones and sensors to protect undersea cables and hunt Russian submarines
What happened
The Ministry of Defence said the UK will be better protected from Russian threats to undersea cables in the North Atlantic after a £90 million investment in drones, sensors and AI systems for the Royal Navy.
What it means for you: No action needed for most households. Undersea cables carry internet and power links, so the investment supports the security of these services.
