Cédric Chetaille, rear admiral: "We are witnessing a form of new underwater 'star wars'"

The Euronaval exhibition will take place in Paris from November 3 to 6. Rear Admiral Cédric Chetaille discusses the ongoing military shift in naval technology, highlighting how innovations enable Russia to target underwater infrastructures and China to threaten access in the Indo-Pacific. He compares the current situation to a new 'space race' under the sea, driven by costly technologies that enhance strategic impact. The ocean depths remain one of the last areas where transparency is limited, complicating the detection of malicious actions and encouraging intimidation tactics.
