Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Rohozinski, it's great to see you again. Last time we talked it was on the Iranian situation, on their cyber capabilities and some of the attacks they've already orchestrated on North American soil. I want to get that perspective: who are the threats?
As well, you might be familiar with a story that came out last week that earlier this year, in April, a U.S. destroyer, the USS Donald Cook, was disabled while on patrol in the Black Sea by an unarmed Russian bomber. The Voltaire Network reported that a Russian Su-24 buzzed the ship and “disabled all radars, control circuits, systems, information transmission, etc. on board the US destroyer. In other words, the all-powerful Aegis system...installed on NATO’s most modern ships was shut down”.
Is there legitimacy to the story that was reported? What other capabilities are we facing from a military standpoint?
