When does Europe understand? The entire continent is what the Muscovite dictator is after. The sooner the fight starts, the sooner the Kremlin ogres are deposed.
Drop sonobouys into the water to listen for dragging sounds. Torpedo and vessel not responding to radio calls and I am sure these things will stop happening fast
NATO and the US can hear a whale fart 5,000 miles away. We have had most of the ocean bugged since the mid 1950s. They caught this ship very quickly after the incident. The problem lies in the fact it's commercial ships doing it, often under non Russian flags.
If they adjust the parameters to listen specifically for dragging they can quickly detect where and which ship is likely trying to harm cables then warn them before they can. If they Ivor warnings they are disabled and the whole crew given 20 years to deter others in future
rather, detain ship, inspect it,
(most likely won't pass maintenance requirements, these are 50 year old ships and the sanctions hurt russian shipping)
They will send out wrecks once they know a dedicated force is assigned to track them. Prefer to have the bridge destroyed with a drone but that could leave it adrift and prone to capsize in heavy seas as the crew wait rescue.
Only if Empty! If it has a full load of Oil, this is an environmental disaster. If it is loaded, then they need a navy out there to detain and escort - then inspect. Russia will use the environmental disaster as a weapon. It makes me want to cry.
embargo for st petersburg is needed right now . yeasterday was late . osn is just for shit on demokratic principles if russian can vetos everything . stop support osn (for hamas and russia support) and start embargo . just for effect and kaliningrad like second podnestersk
ehhhh ... do you have like a couple hundred of coast guard ships with crews available ?
We're not talking about one single cable here ... Every 70 km or so there's a cable in the baltic.
No wonder since energy distribution to some country from any other country than Russia is a threat to Russia since Russia will not be able to build a dependancy to steer politics the way Russia wants.
Here's Eagle S's anchor. Notice what's missing? And how smooth the break is?
It's fairly clear Eagle S was dragging it's anchor; engine pumping to intentionally drag it.
This isn't how you use anchors; and every seaman knows that.
It already has been verified now retaliation is in order to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Hell let France be then one to give them a warning shot

Western countries are too friendly.
