USA: With the help of our submarine drones, NATO will cope with the submarines of the Russian Navy
The October release states that the agreement was signed by the 13 of NATO members, and provides for cooperation in the creation of marine unmanned systems.
From the release:
Based on these statements, we can conclude that the program is aimed not so much at real counteraction to the underwater component of the Russian Navy, but at serving Trump's desire to increase investments in the NATO budget from the members of the alliance. Earlier, the US President criticized a number of NATO countries (primarily Germany) for the fact that their contributions to the NATO budget are less than 2 percent required by the charter of the organization. And the United States will also receive additional profit, since today it is in the United States that a program is being implemented to create drones naval class.
Representatives of the states that put their signatures under the agreement: Belgium, Britain, Greece, Holland, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, USA, Turkey and Germany.
From a statement by the senior scientist at the Atlantic Council, Jorge Benitez:
