Another rumor is that it was trying to recover (in whole or in parts) a Japanese F-35 that crashed in that location.
And the likeliness of that working is even lower!
“That “might” be possible with older cables whose operating mode is electrical. Fiber optic cables...virtually impossible. I know of no mechanism by which it might be done. Either sort of cable can be cut, but tapping the signal is another story.”
Don’t the fiber optic cables have signal boosters every so often? Then any potential eavesdropper would have electrical energy to deal with instead of light.
F-35 links.

The Soviets already have explosive charges placed on these transoceanic communication cables where they can blow them at the start of any war with NATO.
Here’s one for you, on another topic, but still involves intelligence.

Most of what you’ve been told about the reasons for the internment camps is lying by omission.
Why go through all this hassle, when they can just set up routers with lots of connections to other routers and, in the process of helping the Internet flow traffic (where routers seek out shorter, less congested routes) sniff every packet going through them?
Because that’s how it’s ALREADY being done.
The Internet is a mesh network, not point-to-point.
Use a VPN and Encrpyt!
That makes your encryption/decryption points a point-to-point circuit OVER the mesh network that is the Internet.
The whole story is weird. Supposed out of a small crew there were 7 or 8 “First Captains” which is like a colonel in our military on board. Their names were published and they don’t look like techies. Based upon the time line the mother sub must have hyper drive because the injured were reported to be in a hospital near Murmansk a few hour after the incident. Murmansk is a few thousand miles from where this allegedly took place.
Good question. Best I can say is "maybe". Signal boosters modulate a semiconductor laser chip, so there is still no direct access to the signal. "Probably" any signal booster is boosting multiple cables with multiple laser chips simultaneously , so any radiated EMF is probably a mish-mash of different "conversations" from all the cables.
How tapping of undersea cables is done
They can be tapped at the repeater stations (fiber cables are only good for a hundred miles or so; then you need an electronic box which will receive the signal and send a cleaned up data stream on the next segment of the cable)
I notice that land based fiber cables have a “booster” station at regular intervals on their route. Seems logical deep sea would have them also.
I'm going to guess the sub had a support ship, with helicopter, nearby. Sub surfaces, loads injured into helicopter, helicopter gets to medivac plane.
Not for raw bandwidth.
You can’t tap a fiber optic cable the way we tapped the Russians comms cable.
We used an inductive coupler. Can’t use induction to connect to the fiber optic cable.
You can cut that cable. That would suck
See post 30.
There is nothing radical about Opus Dei unless you consider prayer subversive.
Ah. Wow. Talk about vulnerable.
For Public We are slowly getting there.
The Military has MILSTAR and I would think by now building a newer, better, faster and more Secure System that makes MILSTAR look like a Manual Typewriter.
Don’t the cables carry navigation information too? Mess with them and ships might think they’re in the middle of Georgia - not the Atlantic...
