    Fucking russians. (that’s not jumping to conclusions, that’s pure Bayes).

      So they drag their anchor through the same distance and damage 30 instead of 10. The solution is for Russia to find out, not be appeased.

      The last time St Petersburg was blockaded it didn’t go well for the blockaders. Might go ok with Kaliningrad though.

        Putins Army isn’t exactly in Great Shape right now, and opening multiple fronts was in the past Always a Recipe for great success

    Earlier this year, Estlink 2 underwent several months of maintenance-related closure.

    Don’t jump to conclusions, could just be a component failure.

    I’d imagine an electrical cable is way thicker than fiber and not something you can just drag an anchor over.

    Why does my mind immediately go to foul play. And yes, waiting patiently for the investigation to be completed.

    Just looking at the image I thought both links were down, which would be really suspicious, but reading the article only Estlink 2 is down. Right now it’s understandable that any undersea link going down is suspicious, but there could also be normal reasons.

    Estlink 2 is the bigger link, with a capacity of 650 megawatts, while Estlink 1 has a capacity of 350 megawatts.
