After a string of attacks against European data and power cables, and undersea pipelines, the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force has activated a new AI powered system to track and monitor suspicious activity from Russian “shadow fleet” ships. But what can the Nordic Warden operation do to stop attacks from happening when something is spotted? Former Royal Navy Commander Tom Sharpe explains why stepping-in is complicated. The Islamic State terror group may have been territorially defeated, but it has not gone away. After the IS inspired terror attack in New Orleans, and amid fears of a possible resurgence in Syria, Sitrep assesses what threat it currently poses. And the figures that show around 10% of servicemen and women are medically non-deployable. Are they really as alarming as some headlines claim? A former Director-General of Army capability puts the numbers in context. Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke. #bfbsforcesnews #news #sitrep #podcast #army #navy #russia #syria 00:00 - On Sitrep 01:07 - How to protect undersea cables 17:19 - The IS/Daesh threat in 2025 29:53 - 'Undeployable' forces stats explained Subscribe to Forces News: http://bit.ly/1OraazC Check out our website: https://www.forcesnews.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ForcesTV Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/forcesnews/?hl=en X: https://twitter.com/ForcesNews
