Communication disruption can mean only one thing… invasion.
It is not the first time russian ships are in that region,
18th August 2021:
*”Russian spy ship spotted off west coast of Ireland*
*A 350ft Russian vessel, believed to play in role in surveillance operations, is currently off the west coast of Ireland. The Defence Forces has said the Irish Naval Service is aware of the ship’s presence.*
*The Yantar, which has been serving in the Russian Navy since 2015, is operated by Russia’s secretive Main Directorate of Underwater Research, which operates many of Russia’s special mission submarines.*The ship is officially an oceanographic research vessel, but carries extensive surveillance equipment. It is capable of attaching spy equipment to undersea cables that carry internet traffic across the world.*
*The Yantar carries a crew of 60 and was built in the Baltic port of Kaliningrad. It is the mothership for manned and unmanned deep-sea submersibles. It can deploy the three-man submersibles Rus and Konsul, which can dive to about 20,000ft.*
*Its missions are thought to include cable cutting, laying of taps on undersea cables, and intelligence missions.”*
Why would russia want anything to do with us? We’re not even in NATO
The more I read,the less I like about this.
I don’t really know what this means but as an introvert who is heavily dependent on being online, if the Russians f**k my internet I will have nothing but time on my hands and a psychotic rage.
Is there a big cable between Russia and Alaska?
“off the coast of Cork” by about 200 miles. Irish Daily Mail etc screaming like Putin’s going to come and eat our babies
A couple of years ago there was russian bombers off the west coast of Ireland and it was all over the news.
A year or two before that I seen what I’m now fairly certain was a russian military plane flying low as fuck over Galway one night, not a thing about it online/news anywhere. I’d say it was so low it wasn’t even on radar.
Fuckers have been poking around seeing what they can get away with for years.
Why reason did the Russians give for wanting to use this area specifically? Why not run their tests in their own waters?
The conspiracy stuff is really building up around here
Time to dust off the iPod classic.
It’s like taking candy from a baby for the Russians.
I mean didn’t a similair thing like this happen sometime last year?
Was talked about for like a day, then everybody forgot about it. Going out on a limb here but think we’re overexaggerting the importance of this.
I’ve been thinking about this too, I’ve a friend who was a spy in the RAF, he told me about rescuing a Russian submarine crew years ago that was trapped on the ocean floor (maybe at Priz I can’t recall) during training exercises. The reason the rescue was so prompt is because the Brits were already watching the Russians because they knew they were trying to access communication cables or something. He was in the area already with a monitoring team as he’s a Russian language guy. No way they’re not up to something lol
The red box seems pretty small for a 1200 square mile area that they said they were using.
From a dingy off the coast of Cork:
“Howareyee Vlads! Jaysus that’s some boat! C’mere did you catch the match the other daaay!? Nah, you would be much of a hurler would yee?”
Hawk mode activated: Could the US/Royal Navy not just blockade the area around the cables? They have as much right to be there as the Russians ?
Erm, shouldn’t the Royal Navy be out there to block the Russians from accessing the area over the cables?
Very conveniently doing their exercise over where the 4 lines intersect
Jesus, 368 Tbit/s.
You wouldn’t get that on eircom.
Our Kerrian warriors are lining the coast, ready to die for the Healy Rae dynasty.
This will be the first Chechen war all over again. I’d be scared if I was Russian right now. I’ll chase Putin around a field with dog shit on the end of a golf club
Dawg just let me download Dying Light 2 and Elden Ring before you fuck our shit up PLEASE
This map is not geographically correct. It’s illustrative only. Think of it as being equivalent to the London tube map. So do these particular cables all pass through the red box? Only the cable operators would know that.
“Are the submarine cable paths shown the actual route taken by the cables?
No. The cables routes on our map are stylized and do not reflect the actual path taken by the various systems.
This design approach makes it easy to visually follow the different cables and the points at which they land. In real life, cables that cross similar areas of an ocean, take very similar paths. These paths are chosen via comprehensive marine surveys which select routes that avoid hazardous conditions that could potentially damage a cable.
Why do you use a Mercator projection?
A fair question: doesn’t the Mercator projection distort land masses further from the equator?
This is precisely the reason we switched to the Mercator projection in 2001. The wider spacing of land masses in the northern hemisphere allows us to draw and distinguish cables that land in densely-used landing sites like New York/New Jersey, Porthcurno, and Bude.
As with all thematic maps, we chose the projection based on the most important details that we want to show on the map. In our case, that’s the submarine cables themselves and where they land. The land mass, greyed out in our design, serves a supporting role.”
Thankfully Ireland has a dedicated navy to police our own waters… Wait…
Do people actually think they are going to do anything?
You don’t think there are at least a couple of US subs right there with them? This is just standard Russian bollox.
Could they not claim we need to do maintenance on the cables so could they move their tests elsewhere
They claim its a “naval excercise” but really they are **hunting for the Red Fungie** But don’t worry we have the best anti-ship weapon available, **Wally the Walrus will sneak aboard, and pretend to be a drunk Russian on vodka by making his noises & capsize their ships before they realize there’s been a sabateur!**
Let’s invade Russia while they’re away acting the bollix.
Update: Russians will move drills outside irish waters.
What do those lines do for the country’s
Suddenly 100 euro a month for starlink is reasonable.

Russians cutting undersea cables as a distraction operation is part of the plot of 2034: [https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/635212/2034-by-elliot-ackerman-and-admiral-james-stavridis/9781984881250](https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/635212/2034-by-elliot-ackerman-and-admiral-james-stavridis/9781984881250)
Without spoiling it, other parts of are becoming increasingly likely too (US v. China over Taiwan)
