Who are these drones spying for, in the end?
The Royal Navy is fighting a war with Britain, to have resources to modernize and expand the much-diminished forced, said to be the smallest-ever.
But even when modernization efforts do come, they are not without issues, as we’ve learned this week.
It’s been widely reported that the Royal Navy spy drones used by Britain’s elite special forces had cameras suspected to be secretly sending sent data to China, The Telegraph can reveal.
The Telegraph reported:
“The cameras on the K3 Scout surveillance drones had components made in China which were transmitting information to a device in the country.
The Royal Marines have been using the £12m fleet since March and the Ministry of Defence (MoD) was forced to remove all internet connectivity from the cameras after discovering the breach.
The revelation raises fears that Beijing has been attempting to spy on Britain’s military after years of security warnings about the threat from the country.”
