Undersea cable connecting Norway and Arctic satellite station is mysteriously damaged
2022-01-12
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • An undersea comms cable connecting Svalbard and mainland Norway has failed

  • The disruption could prove disastrous as there is now only one connection left

  • If the other cable fails, the island will be completely cut off from the mainland

  • The cables power a huge Arctic satellite station and bring internet to Svalbard

  • It comes as Britain's most senior naval officer warned that Russia may look to cripple such vital undersea communications wires supporting the UK

#1  ...Just to clarify:

NATO militaries are going full throttle on pronouns.

The Russians are using grappling hooks on submarines to cripple our comms.
