Russia’s alleged bombing of two gas pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea has put Europe on high alert for a devastating attack on its critical infrastructure.
Military analysts said the Kremlin could easily wreak havoc by cutting undersea data cables or destroying another pipeline, as a British defense source suggested the “premeditated” sabotage could have been prepared by underwater drones that planted the explosives weeks before
Future targets could include cables carrying sensitive financial information across the Atlantic, at risk of a market crash, or those supplying entire regions such as Orkney, Shetland or parts of Italy with their access on the Internet, according to a former US Navy submarine warfare. strategist
