Why Ireland Has Become Europe’s Most Strategic Security Gap ?

Описание: Ireland has quietly become one of Europe’s most critical — and vulnerable — security points. Over 75% of northern hemisphere undersea data cables pass through Irish waters, carrying more than a quarter of daily U.S.–Europe internet traffic and financial transactions. Yet Ireland lacks advanced naval surveillance systems, deep-sea monitoring technology, and even full naval readiness. With defence spending at just 0.25% of GDP despite a massive budget surplus, security gaps are raising alarm across Europe. Russian intelligence vessels have already been tracked near key cable routes. If these underwater networks or energy pipelines are disrupted, it could severely impact global communications, finance, and energy supply — exposing a hidden weakness in Europe’s strategic infrastructure.
