The Mystery of the Vanishing Undersea Cable 

@@business Your reporter contradicted himself, great mental gymnastics that we have come to expect from western media. Military siphons through info first then passes on redacted documents to scientists. So the first objective is not a scientific one but military monitoring system. Such hypocrisy.

i would be checking with the Scrapyard Dealers . Its probably some Junkies !

Pay me and i show you all info from the other side of it all. But not here at coruption RU-vid 🎉🎉🎉 3 it was broken 2021. But this is not even 1% of all the real story

Why as journalists do you not draw attention to the cowardly attitude of these pathetic “authorities”?

do one about nordStream, or...you cant?

and call it "PAYBACK TIME"

It was done by Russia as well.

We all know it was financed and ordered by the USA with the help of the Norwegian Navy so they wont make a documentary about that in the foreseeable future.

@@JigilJigilContractually there were huge fines, for non delivery of gas. Unless there was an accident.

Most likely both a true but from a video with certain narrative you only hear half of the story.

US China Japan do the exact same thing everywhere This is what happens when a country is demonized through a well planned propaganda machine that keeps the boogy man narrative indoctrinated into ignorant peoples brains over and over again .. When people can actually do there own research instead of being willfully ignorant /brainwashed

Agree!

They ARE fishing. Fishing for all types of things....

If both possibilities are true, then both sides in the conflict have reasons to not be too loud during their arguments & to downplay the issues by providing misleading statements to the mass media.

Interesting story.

That's the most American thing I've ever heard, sir!

How did your Grandfather get to retire from the US Navy in 1942 which was right after the US entered WW2 and the US military not only instituted the draft, but halted ALL retirements untill the war was over. That became actual law also when Congress passed legislation making it impossible to retire from any branch of the military while we were at war. I think you have the dates confused.

​@@patrickbrinkmeier1858 Could be mistaken as to retirement date, but at his age, retirement should've been mandatory.

How proud you & your family must be of your grandfather.

Russian fishing boats were used to spy. In the 1990's a Canadian forces helicopter went out to track a Russian fishing boat that had been going into territorial waters off of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The observer from the helicopter was hit with a strong laser type weapon, he was temporarily blind which resulted in permanent damaged to his eyes. There is a Canadian Navy base on Southern Vancouver Island, plus a US nuclear submarine base and a US air force near by as well. Plus the US and Canadian forces do joint regular security maritime drills off of the southern tip of Vancouver Island.

According to some well researched RU-vid videos, the most likely destroyers of Nord Stream gas pipelines were (special forces acting under instruction from...) the Gazprom Joint Venture company itself. As Russia started refusing to supply Germany with the full contracted amount of Gas, the Joint Venture company was responsible for huge payouts to their wholesale customers, of the difference between the normal long term gas contract price, and the sudden surge "spot" market gas prices (which had suddenly tripled or more in price) . Gazprom JV had already had to make substantial payouts to it's Western gas customers, and those huge payouts were set to continue for a long time. ....until such time as they could claim "Whoops, force majeure" which gives them an easy "out" to having to hold up their side of the contract and actually deliver gas. "Force majeure" is normally things like serious natural disasters, bad storms or earthquakes. But if a pipeline suddenly gets blown up by unknown persons (those "blimmin' dope smokin', vegetarian hippies !" LOL ) then they are absolved of their contractual obligations to provide cheap Gas.

@@KiwiCatherineJemma The best argumented answer!

@@user-jk5rm3wu6m That's a lot of pressure. I was hoping others have been experiencing the same.

Na, you're missing context. What have you been watching? Everything is interconnected you are presuming your thought was the starting point. Ask yourself why did you think about the sea cable. You didn't just randomly think of that. Something produced that thought that you're not consciously aware of.

Yeah, and a Chinese CTO running this lame excuse for a submarine tracking facility. This is about as naive as you can possibly get. “Yes, a Russian alleged fishing boat sailed back and forth over the ruptured cable 140 times just as it was destroyed, but we don’t have enough evidence.” I don’t know what more evidence you expect to find. The Russian ambassador confessing to his country destroying their military installations? Get real.

@@marypaquette8705 Life in Biden's America

@@johnbutterworth1369 which would make it easier to locate 🤔

@@JRprice25 Agreed, but the identity of the vessel would be logged down. Are you speaking of the vessel being easier to locate or the cable itself? Who would try to hide a cable on the seafloor? My Idea would be, hundreds of, disposable Ballons that are released from below the surface, they take pictures send the timestamp and warning at the same time. That could be within the budget.

@@johnbutterworth1369 I was simply responding to your statement about sensors warning people of the cables.

@@JRprice25 understood. Seems like there would be a required mapping for those using nets with doors. It is interesting how they investigated the situation. I wonder if they are insured for damage to the cable. Its my first exposure to such an incident. Same things happens in outer space with sat coms being attacked. No way to hold them accountable.

Dutch engineers are developing a system using unused wires inside the cable to detect something near the cable.

And all navigation data also. Begs a question,does’t it?

No, that's not what the report assumes. But the communication cables themselves transmit specific audio frequencies of vessels that are unique audio signatures. That plus satellite imagery and radar can pinpoint which vessels are the likely culprits.

Ship tracking data also comes from radar. Not just the on board Navigations

No mystery there. It was the usual suspect, done to get out of their fixed price gas contract in Europe.

@@CombatMosquitoTrainer Russia, USA and Ukraine all had motives. At the moment Ukraine is seen as the most likely.

It was..the Russians Bahahahah

You are right. They get damaged all the time. This was just another opportunity to blame Russia without evidence because not one piece of evidence was presented.

The Russians are doing the damage they can do, not the damage they want to do.

Thanks for the tip

True that. Rustbucket "Chinese" vessel with Russian crew, including military. They dragged it between Finland and Estonia exactly where the most cables go, until the anchor tore off, i think that's how investigation proved it was them.

bad actors - do you mean *all* NATO warships, then? Entire formations will plough along at speed with their AIS transponders off - day, night, fog, doesn't matter to them. Be sure the Russians know where they are, as does anyone with half a radar, but small yacht sailors don't.

Like the cops you mean?

I thought the same thing.

NATO leaders are overconfident and delusional. Its general council are made up of very old men that are slow in movement and slow in thought and have no new ideas for security because they have stopped learning and being active thinkers; they leave it to others to foresee possibilities and draft countermeasures only when they realise they need it (which is always too late in the game).

Yes, it seems all rather straightforward.

That was in the Finnish Bay, where a gas pipe between Finland and Estonia was cut.

Yes to above, just that old "Chinese" ship had no Chinese aboard. Only Russians.

@@dannydetonator I didn't know, but that makes total sense!

this. also, the russian military could have told the vessel to maintain a cover for it while it did its thing.

Or simply took the vessel to conduct this operation without the fishermen and captain on board.

@@JRprice25 wouldn't be the first time to do that... that's their favored way of action...!

@@user-McGiver I wasn’t aware but my first guess and still is.

No need for spoofing. They can install a second set of AIS with fake identity, such as identity of similar size vessel. Some AIS system (non- civillian) can also be set to Stealth mode, which they only listen but don't transmit.

Sure they would. And there's more than one way to record the audial frequency signature of ocean vessels. They just don't care.

@@user-iv7us4gp4l yeah it's quite funny, here in the eastern part of the Westfjords in Iceland we had arctic sea ice almost from October to May. At one point you could have probably walked over to Greenland on it.

The Cubans did it.

But they are thousands of miles long …how can they monitor more than 1% of that?

Hahahahahaha best submarines manufactured on earth are manufactured by Russia.

@@dioscurity maybe underwater drones like the manta ray can patrol the cable when multiple of them are used and have somehow data that shows them when someone is crossing the cable to have a look so noone can just scuba dive and cut it

​@@noelrossbridge2514 Vatnik.

There are a huge number of different types of underwater vehicles in use already. The "manta" is just one well-publicised one that catches the attention of the media. Certainly, for the next generation of military underwater combat capability in the West, just as in the air, with the "loyal wingman" element of 6th-gen fighter programmes, it won't just be crewed submarines, it will be uncrewed subs, also armed, operating alongside. Lots of uncrewed subs, zero manpower costs or considerations, so you can have more. Attritable in times of war. Or at least more so than something with humans aboard.

It would still take a while to find the source as the relay stations are pretty far from each other. Plus if the relay stations themselves were producing data, it could be spoofed. Plus in a wartime scenario it won't matter as there would be bigger problems in contested waters.

All they need is alerting on each endpoint of the cable. The shed where the PCs were rebooted should have immediately triggered an alert and initiated a service to call someone who could respond. We do this is our tiny data center so why would they not do this on a national research project???

Fault location technology is rather simple really.

​@@curtheisler1200 Research funding is extremely competitive and limited, so projects tend to be run on shoestring budgets, lots of volunteer/student labour. So they can't hire someone to continuously monitor alarms in the same way that private companies do. I worked on a similar research project as a grad student, and basically I was the only one pulling data on a regular basis, and therefore the only one checking for sustained comm fails. Half a dozen people got the daily system status report, but it was basically always the same, a few intermittent comm fails and reconnects, maybe 20 per day... so you'd just delete it without looking. If there was a problem, it was discovered when I was ready for fresh numbers. If I took a week to work on figures for a paper or study for exams or even just go out of town, the thing could be down for that long without anyone knowing. (After I left, I bet some parts it could have gone down for 3 months at a time.) And that seems to be what happened here.

@@joewoodchuck3824 Time domain reflectometer?

😅 !!!

Wow! You totally solved the case! 🙄

@@damonhtoo Maybe not, but it's interesting they didn't touch on this in the doc. If a system or network fails, you restore service and then check the logs to determine RFO. I assume the fibre cable was transmitting data up until it was cut and there should be audio of anything nearby. Since the first hop is a military facility that captures and sanitizes the data, they should have the RAW data. So yeah it's weird they didn't note anything about the the instrument capturing anything prior to the incident.

The fact that it took so long for them to find out isAlarming

​@@joewoodchuck3824satellites, if it was russia the US would have been all over it and we'd never hear the end of it, just like that counter offensive that was going to totally turn the tables Instead we get this propaganda piece trying to smear russia. One minute their claiming this cable is responsible for all this vital data to coming from the little white domes that are collecting vast amounts of satellite data and thus it was definitely an intentional and strategic attack by Russia Yet in the opening minute they claim it was only discovered when a single person arrived to work one day, noticed they couldn't communicate with something and they were stumped on what the issue was. Then in the middle the vanishing cable magically appears and it's definitely a man made cut not damage from an anchor. Which miraculously only a single russian ship was nearby, not only that but this intentional and strategic sabotage by russia was covertly done by crossing the cable 140 times, because whilst they have nfi where this vital cable broke and took them days to find.. this same single guy now has pinpoint accuracy data for the russian ship, for the exact time and location of the cable they didnt know was broken til the guy arrived at work. How are people this gullible and naive?

COTDRs can shoot through repeaters, but you generally can't run them with in-service traffic. The distance in this video is an unrepeatered system though, so an OTDR is fine (though also needs no traffic on the cable).

@@zaxcomp How can a repeater be used underwater? With the kind of terrestrial RF repeaters I know about they need power to run. Usually with local AC mains, but sometimes on solar. How would anything like that be done at depth in an open ocean?

Russia blew its own pipeline for $$$. There were multi year gas contracts at set rates. After Russia invaded Ukraine they were losing money vs. the market rate. Blowing the N2 pipeline created a Force Majur allowing Russia to get out of their money-losing contracts and sell their gas on the open market for a much higher prices via new contracts. Their LoShark subs are purpose-built for underwater demolition. RIP when they mistakenly cut an undersea electrical cable rather than an undersea communication cable.

Ocean is known for being very deep in some areas.

Yes anchor chains are very very long too.​@@g4eva193

When this first happened, I looked into exactly that.

If it's a secret how can mariners, especially fishermen, know to avoid it? If it ever was a secret cables should be easy enough to find. At the very least the entry points are probably known anyway.
