Nato tests missile operations from Tube station to prepare for Russian attack

NATO forces have taken over a London Tube station to serve as an underground headquarters while they simulate deep strike operations against Russia. The UK-led NATO Allied Rapid Reaction Corps moved its military capability to a disused platform at Charing Cross station. Soldiers are testing NATO’s ability to use electronic warfare to jam Russian communications and down drones if Russia attacks a Baltic country. Defence sources say the UK has enough drones for about a week, using a few hundred per day, which is far below what is required. In Ukraine, drone use reaches thousands per day, and European defence industry capacity is being urged to meet the strategic threat. US general Christopher Donahue warned that NATO has little time to prepare.

In a ramping up of preparations for war, the UK-led Nato Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC) moved its military capability to a disused platform at Charing Cross station. As part of Operation Arrcade Strike, soldiers are testing Nato's capacity to use electronic warfare to jam Russia's communications and down the Kremlin's drones in the event of a Russian invasion of a Baltic country."

"Defence sources said the UK only has enough drones to fight for a week, using a few hundred a day, which is well below the quantity that is needed. In Ukraine, that amounts to thousands per day in non-stop use, amid continued pleas from generals for Europe's defence industry to help meet the challenge of a strategic threat."

"Speaking from the Tube platform, US general Christopher Donahue, head of Nato's Land Command, delivered an unvarnished warning to the alliance, saying that Nato has little time to prepare to meet a potential"
