Mediterranean Submarine Showdown: Who Controls the Depths?

Описание: The Mediterranean is a semi-enclosed sea packed with rival states—and the real battlefield is underwater.

In this video, we break down the balance of undersea power in the Mediterranean: France’s nuclear edge, the AIP competition between Italy, Turkey, Greece and Spain, and the strategic role of Israel and Egypt.

This is not just a question of technology. In the Mediterranean, numbers, geography, availability, chokepoints and strategic vision often matter just as much.

So who really controls the depths?
