NATO Protects UnderSea Infrastruture After Possible Sabotage in Baltic Sea

NATO recently ramped up its defense of undersea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea, kicking off a massive 12-day naval exercise, “Freezing Winds,” involving 30 ships and 4,000 personnel.

This comes just after two communication cables were severed in the region last month, highlighting the vulnerability of the Baltic’s critical telecoms and energy lines.

While NATO is enhancing surveillance with advanced technologies and repurposed mine-hunting fleets, preventing such damage remains a challenge due to the ease with which anchors or deliberate sabotage can cause disruption.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Protecting something AFTER the damage is done, doesn't strike my simple mind as much protection.  That's like saying the Navy "protected" Pearl Harbor after Dec. 7, 1941. *****rollingeyes*****

If it wasn't for angry Irish fishermen, by the start of Ukraine War, the Russians may have cut trans-Atlantic communication cables on the sea-floor in Ireland's Exclusive Economic Zone.

The real interesting part, is that the Russians used a Chinese merchant vessel to do it.  So, China was complicit.

For the past two decades the Russians have been mapping Western underwater communications cables.
