As part of Operation "Arcade Strike," the Alliance is testing electronic warfare (EW) capabilities and UAV destruction. Generals warn of limited time to prepare for a potential Russian attack.
A NATO headquarters has been deployed in the London Underground to practice strikes deep into Russia. This is reported by the Independent, according to UNN.

It is noted that as part of Operation "Arcade Strike," Alliance military personnel are testing capabilities to suppress Russian communications using electronic warfare (EW) and destroy UAVs in the event of a potential Russian invasion of NATO member states.
Soldiers are testing NATO's ability to use electronic warfare to jam Russian communications and disable Kremlin drones in the event of a Russian invasion
Sources in the British defense establishment told the publication that London has enough drones for only a week of fighting, using several hundred a day, which is significantly less than the required amount.
In Ukraine, this amounts to thousands per day in continuous use, amid constant requests from generals to the European defense industry to help overcome the challenge of the strategic threat
Speaking from a subway platform, US General Christopher Donahue, head of NATO's Allied Land Command, issued an open warning to the alliance, stating that NATO has little time to prepare for a potential Russian attack.
Mission readiness by 2030 is not a slogan; it is what we must do. Traditional forms of mobilization and movement are no longer a NATO advantage, and the lack of defense-in-depth will be exploited against us
In turn, the commander of the Allied Rapid Reaction Corps, Lieutenant General Mike Elviss, stated that the exercises are necessary to practice NATO's "find-strike" model, which allows for locating and destroying Russian forces moving into battle.
In this and every scenario we practice, Russia has two critical advantages. First, they can mass combat power at their point of attack, while we are obliged to defend everywhere and at all times. Second, if an attack occurs, it will be initiated by them, so they will have the initial momentum. Our answer to this question lies partly in our concept of combat operations through reconnaissance and strike
As a reminder
Russia's campaign against the Baltic states is "concerning" due to the possibility of escalation. This was stated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
