That was supposed to have been in the Black Sea.

I guess they finally found the Russian sub that the USN named the “Black Hole” that NATO naval forces lost while tracking it in the Med.

Funny thing... countries are using Diesel Electric subs for stealth capabilities.

These stupid losers in the Sh@ts and Giggles administration are really eager to get into a shooting war with the Russians for some reason.

Pick a fight with a major nuclear capable nation. Really smart.

No submarines can go that deep…

Are you sure about that? You may be thinking only of conventional attack subs, but don’t forget that subs have gone to the bottom of the Mariana Trench (depth - over 36,000 feet). It doesn’t take a huge conventional sub to cut a cable, nor does it even have to be manned.

Norway and the USA, beginning under Trump I believe, created closer naval ties predicated on NATO. The Russians are not happy about this expansion or any expansion of NATO as I believe it violates a past treaty with Russia wherein we would not expand NATO.

I believe the Russians did this with some obviousness.

You are correct - I was thinking of a conventional military sub. Using a deep sea submersible 8,000 ft would not be beyond range, especially for an unmanned unit.

It is a wonder it ever worked.
Here is a video of a oil pipeline and data cable being laid down and it shows the very rugged seabed.
A simple landslide will destroy the cable and pipe.

“The Langeled pipeline (originally known as Britpipe) is an underwater pipeline transporting Norwegian natural gas to the United Kingdom”

Looks like Putin is starting to show just a bit of what he can do if Biden and the EU don’t learn to get out of his backyard.

“Would this satellite station provide data on Ukraine and the Russian forces surrounding it?”

It used to...
