NATO warns: the Russian Federation can attack the submarine objects of the United States and Europe infrastructure - the media

According to him, the Russian Federation can target underwater cables and critically important objects of the event infrastructure. Moscow wants to get pressure levers on those countries that supply weapons to Ukraine. "Russia is actively engaged in mapping the critical infrastructure of the Allies both on land and on the seabed, these efforts are supported by Russian military and civilian intelligence services," Kattler said.

The publication writes that NATO member states want to protect underwater cables, accounting for 95% of Internet communications. They also pass financial transactions daily worth about $ 10 trillion. Cattler also pointed to Russia's military strategy, which involves the rapid destruction of vital infrastructure in the early stages of conflict. This tactics of the Armed Forces are trying to apply in Ukraine.

According to him, Moscow's efforts are partly headed by the underwater intelligence program of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. According to Cattler, although China also shows activity in the Atlantic, he is more interested in buying infrastructure than in testing of vulnerability. According to journalists, NATO recently created a group of coordination of underwater infrastructure, headed by Lieutenant General Hans-Verner.

According to him, the Alliance wants to strengthen observations to show suspicious actions near or over critical underwater cables, pipelines and other objects. Recall that a joint investigation of several groups of Western experts showed that the ships of the Navy of the Russian Federation were near the "northern streams" on the eve of explosions.
