Nato forces have taken over a London tube station to use as their underground HQ as they simulate launching “deep strike” operations on Russia in the event of an attack on allied forces. As part of Operation Arcade Strike, soldiers are testing Nato’s capacity to use electronic warfare to jam Russia’s communications and down the Kremlin’s drones in case of a fictional Russian invasion of a Baltic country. Defence sources said that the UK only has enough drones to fight for a week, using a few hundred a day compared to what is needed. In Ukraine, that amounts to thousands per day in not-stop use, amid continued pleas from generals for Europe’s defence industries to meet the challenge of a strategic threat. How strong is Russia against NATO?
