The head of the British Navy, Admiral Ben Kee, considers it necessary to invest heavily in the development and creation of means to counter the new Russian submarines. According to TASS, he said this at a conference on the development of the British fleet.
“Looking at how Russia actively deploys its most modern submarines – some of the best in the world in terms of noiselessness – it is to be expected that I will invest in advanced anti-submarine capabilities that will allow us to detect, find and, if necessary, hit them. This is not cheap, but I do not consider it desirable to be second in the field of anti-submarine defense. In a week we are celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic, and at that time this option was not considered. It should not be considered now, ”said the admiral.
Speaking about the future capabilities of the British Navy, Key mentioned the development of quantum accelerometers, which should allow navigation in the face of satellite failure, as well as the role of artificial intelligence, which would make British ships more tenacious and dangerous to the enemy. He also said that in the future, drones will play an increasing role in the British Navy.
