Britain is preparing for a possible attack from Russia by reviewing old defense plans. The documents contain strategies for protecting the country, including in the event of missile and cyber attacks. This is reported by The Telegraph.
The UK is updating its emergency plans, fearing a direct military attack from Russia.
Sources told The Telegraph that the country's government has instructed officials to review a secret "national defense plan," which has not been updated since 2005.
The document discusses the actions of the authorities in the first days after the attack, including scenarios with missile strikes, a nuclear threat, or large-scale cyberattacks.
The secret plan includes measures to evacuate the government and royal family to bunkers, coordinate crisis broadcasting, and ensure the continuous operation of critical infrastructure — from transportation to communications.
Individual ministers are expressing concerns about the country's readiness for modern warfare.
The publication writes that Britain's vulnerability to attacks on gas terminals, nuclear power plants, undersea cables, and other strategic facilities is of particular concern.
The government has already been presented with a simulation of a situation in which Russia simultaneously launches a missile strike and a cyberattack.
According to official estimates, such an attack could lead to significant human losses and serious economic consequences.
The document remains classified and is unlikely to be made public in the coming decades.
