Russia plans to use spies, sleeper agents in the community and people posing as Ukrainian refugees to carry out attacks on British Army, RAF and Navy facilities, according to former spy Boris Karpichkov.
Mr Karpichkov, who has been branded a traitor in Russia after it emerged he worked for the CIA and Latvian security services during his time with the KGB and FSB, claimed targets had been identified from Scotland to Salisbury, where ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned with Novichok in March 2018 in a failed Kremlin assassination.
Mr Karpichkov said the targets were leaked to him by a current Russian security services source and include the former RAF Leuchars base at St Andrews, now used by the British Army, the Tidworth military bases near Salisbury and the Army barracks within the town, and RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
