Speaking to LBC's Tom Swarbrick the Independent Reviewer of State Threat Legislation warned Russia was likely to use ordinary members of the public to carry out their aims. Jonathan Hall KC told Tom that Russian military intelligence " is going to operate through people like you and me," he also warned the country could pay private detectives to carry out their aims.
"We know that Russia has attempted two assassinations, one using the radioactive substance Polonium-210 and the other one using a nerve agent, Novichok.""So if Russia is willing to do that, it seems pretty plausible that they would be willing to use drones to overfly sensitive military sites."But he warned that because Russia often operated within the "gray zone" it could be difficult to attribute their actions to them.
