The UK is completely dependent on the United States intelligence, Politico magazine writes, citing relevant officials.
The publication notes that the intelligence ties between London and Washington are so strong that they simply cannot be untangled and replaced by US input.
According to the interlocutor, despite the fact that British specialists can analyse images and information from space received from Washington, London does not have the ability to extract them independently.
The US, as the interlocutor emphasises, is able to limit or completely stop providing Britain with data at any time.
According to Politico, British defence developments have been subjected to American funding for their subsequent use by Washington.
According to experts, London needs to take some action in this area if the US continues to shut out its so-called allies.
Earlier, it was reported that the UK authorities were proposing to set up an intelligence-sharing group for Kiev.
