A major five-part series from Sky News and Tortoise which imagines how a Russian attack on the UK could play out – and invites real-life former ministers, military chiefs and other experts to figure out how to defend the country.
Written and presented by Sky News' security and defence editor, Deborah Haynes.
This is Deborah's second podcast series for Sky News. In her first series, Into The Grey Zone, Deborah explores the murky evolution of warfare.
What do assassinations, cyber hacks and disinformation have in common? They're all weapons used by states against each other in a grey zone of harm under the threshold of war, but could be just as dangerous if ignored.

This episode explores a global battle of values between China and leading democracies over issues like Hong Kong, Taiwan and Xinjiang.
It’s being fought with an array of covert weapons, from cyber attacks and information operations to economic coercion and even something called “lawfare”.
Allegations of such behaviour are made and denied by both sides, which of course is to be expected - in the grey zone.
