Britain announced the purchase of two specialized vessels to protect underwater pipelines and cables

Britain suddenly became very concerned about protecting its own underwater pipelines and cables. According to the Sky News channel, the head of the British Ministry of Defense, Ben Wallace, announced the purchase of two specialized vessels, the task of which will be to protect underwater communications.

The sabotage on two Russian gas pipelines, Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, effectively deprived Europe in general, and Germany in particular, of cheap Russian gas, and Russia of income from its sale. Numerous experts, including Western ones, came to the conclusion that only those countries that have all the possibilities for this could have blown up gas pipelines. In addition, one should not disregard the benefits received from undermining the Nord Streams, and the main beneficiaries here are the United States and Great Britain. By the way, it was the British and Americans who first began to claim that the explosions were supposedly arranged by Russia itself.



In the Western press, the belief has formed that Russia, after identifying those involved in the explosions, will attack the underwater infrastructure of these countries, since it has all the possibilities for this. Against this background, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace announced the urgent purchase of two specialized vessels, the task of which will be to protect underwater pipelines and cables.

Ben Wallace told the Conservative Party convention in Birmingham that the government recently committed to acquiring two specialized vessels to protect the UK's internet and energy.

Sky News reports.

At the moment it is known that the first vessel, which is a multi-functional research vessel "for conducting warfare at the bottom of the sea", will be part of the British fleet at the end of 2023, the only thing known about the second ship is that it is going to be built at British shipyards. There are no other details.

      Almost undisguised accusations against the United States are already being voiced.

      Anyone understands that this is no longer the mythical red line, but the border, beyond which the betrayal of Russia begins.

      In this case, there can be no difference. Even the most flexible and plastic.

        When do you have to start? Not everything is "concern to show." By the way, "Belgorod" not only left, but also managed to "disappear without a trace" for their intelligence. Already howled, radishes!!! Until then, we'll see.

        No, this is already the crossing of this red line, and not a provocation at all, but a real blow.

    In vain the British are going through.
    In the worst case for the West, there will be only threats, as was the case with the promise of the destruction of Ukraine's transport infrastructure.

    2 ships for thousands of kilometers of underwater communications, some kind of nonsense. The Navy needs to be mobilized. Pandora's box, we didn't open it. they asked why NIS are being built in such quantities.

        Luckily for us, the GUGI was not controlled by Rogozin. True, the GUGI is not without excesses, but they are at the forefront of technical development. And it’s good that nothing is known about them at all. Everyone knows that they exist, but what they do is a huge secret. climbed, did not find any traces.

          To be honest, no one expected such impudence. It is necessary to answer for anyone, otherwise it will become a habit. It is interesting how much the insurance of underwater communications has risen now, that they don’t talk about it.

    Britain is suddenly concerned about protecting its own underwater pipelines and cables
    It is understandable - the Anglo-Saxon ears stick out from the terrorist attack on the gas pipeline, no matter how they are trying to cover up with a cynical lie about the guilt of Russia. They understand that Russia's patience is not iron and can break through. No wonder the British suddenly started talking about a "strike from space", the Western press about "Poseidon", the Americans are ready to strike "with all their might" if Russia suddenly ...

    They have not yet finished with gas pipelines, we should expect an attack on the Turkish Stream until they destroy the euro as a competitor to the dollar, they won’t be able to sleep peacefully, at the most critical moment they will put gas tankers for repairs, Germany will again be sacrificed, the arrogant Saxons will squeeze out to a drop, it was for this reason that Brexit was, Germany got fat again, it was time to skin.

      This is the reason why Brexit was
      Brexit is an attempt to avoid the collapse of Britain's health and welfare systems due to an avalanche of immigration of parasites from the rest of the EU.

        Now that the Spanish doctors and French engineers are gone, Britain is finally ready to return to greatness. And all she had to sacrifice was 50 years of foreign policy. Thatcher must be crawling in his grave

        You now even have religious protests, reminds me of Iraq)))

          Spanish doctors and French engineers left
          They could apply for a residence permit through a smartphone. It was more difficult for the Romanian parasites, who came from the villages for benefits and social housing, as well as for the poor refugees in Italy and Greece, who filled out documents there and came to UK already as Italians and Greeks.
          It is worth noting that doctors and engineers in England have their own.
          reminds me of Iraq
          In terms of percentage in Russia, there are more of them than here.

    This is how they write: "For protection ...". In fact, it is impossible to really protect the pipeline. But for control and undermining - these ships are ideal.

    The war at sea and the struggle for energy resources has reached a completely new stage... Hurray, comrades! now, serious battles of underwater robots, deep-sea uninhabited and inhabited vehicles will begin under the water column, and the massacre of combat swimmers under the belly of such "cable protectors" ...

    But for protection?
    These ships can both protect underwater communications and mischief on other people's underwater communications.
    This is England - they said one thing, they do another. The Englishwoman sucks.

    ... so for protection, I wonder from whom and how, or sabotage judging by the purpose of the ship?
