Scottish officials are proposing to restore a military presence in the Shetland Islands against alleged threats that could emanate from Russia.
Globalinfo.az reports that the newspaper The Sunday Times published the information.
It was reported that the aim is to protect Britain’s strategic facilities, including the country’s modern spaceport, from possible sabotage.
The publication claims that rocket and satellite technologies being developed at the spaceport on the island of Unst, Britain’s northernmost point, are in Russia’s focus.
Alister Karmikl, an MP from the Liberal Democrats, called on the government to restore a permanent and purposeful military presence in the waters around the Shetland Islands.
