Britain and several European countries will form a naval alliance to deter Russian submarines, -. Financial Times.
As the British Chief of the General Staff, Richard Knighton, stated, the parties to the agreement intend to strengthen the joint defense in the North Atlantic, Arctic and Baltic regions. The main task is to protect the sea lanes against potential threats from Russian submarines in the event of a military conflict.
The signing of an agreement to expand military cooperation is scheduled for Tuesday aboard the small British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales.
