Dr Sidarth Kaushal, a Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), has further warned such a move had the potential to cause “massive disruption”, especially when it came to financial transactions. ...Dr Kaushal told Express.co.uk Russia has a “whole host of deep diving capabilities” at its disposal, including unmanned drones. He added: “They are not only for cutting cables but also for things like in placing sensors on seabed floors, which is one of their major functions."
