Not so fictional apparently
Which has nothing to do with the fact that they could deliver an air launched nuclear strike
I remember someone here saying once that NATO intelligence probably has a good idea what Putin has for dinner of an evening. Whether that's true I certainly don't know, but NATO intelligence seems ably to have predicted all of Putin's moves on the battlefield so far. Going by that trend, I have to think they know exactly what loitering Russian subs have been up to. If WE know about it, then NATO intelligence can only know a whole lot more.
There ha been some reports.... maybe ...could be .... yadayada yada
What type of nuclear sea mine has russia deployed of the Irish coast ? as suggested by greenpilot
Only outside NATO controlled airspace.
If there was any real treat of a Nuclear attack no Russian aircraft would get within 100 miles of a NATO border and no Russian Aircraft would get further than starting their engine on an Airfield in Kaliningrad.
Well, in fairness he didn't say they were 'nuclear' sea mines, he said sea mines or something similar
Putin will just throw Russian men at the problem rather than admit defeat. Sad old man. Its just gonna get uglier and lot more men women and children are going to die. Just horrible all round. Who knows what he will revert too as things worsen.
It's been clear Russia are running this invasion on 70s/80s tech and don't have the know how and logistics to get the invasion done in days like they originally claimed, they have been badly exposed. It will take a while before these mobilized men reach the front and by that time it will be winter where the evening are dark early and its a lot colder. Will these men have proper winter gear and night vision equipment? Very doubtful, Russia will struggle to keep them fed, they'll tell them to kill and loot the Ukrainian citizens belongings.
The last propaganda release was they claimed that Ukraine has lost half of its 200k force while Russia lost only 6k. There would be no need to mobilize more men if that was true. Russian citizens are realizing this and protesting this mobilization, this is how regime change happens. Putin has alienated Russia from the west and economically its going to hit everyone hard, I would love to see him overthrown and hanging from a lamppost but thats wishful thinking, all I can see is a lot more death in the coming months.
"A lot of you may die, thats a risk I'm willing to take." Putin probably.
I take you cannot disprove their claim.
No .
Russia/Pitin needs to fall from within and Russians themselves need to do that rather than flee. A load of unwilling conscripts may well be the touchstone and we have to hope this is the case. It's tough but enough is enough.
Dont see any mention of underwater cables.
possible targets described include bridges, dams, canals, tunnels, airfields, railroad marshaling yards, ports and industrial plants, and power facilities
Tell me, do you use a sledge hammer to crack a nut?
Is he still going on about my theory on the Sea mines? I have him blocked, so I thankfully cannot see him. Jesus, some folks just cannot let a thing go, eh?
What do you want me to disprove ?
The existence of fictionel nuclear sea mines of the Irish coast ?
In fairness he did and when pushed on it he put me on ignore
What a bunch of clowns, if they wanted to take Ukraine they should have invaded with 500k at the start not 190k and now dribs and drabs for the next decade it looks like. It's like they came up with a strategy to maximize their losses.
If they managed to get Kiev or topple Zelensky in the first couple of days they might have had enough with 200k ... They didnt want Ukraine via a massive invasion.
Nobody is saying that there are mines 100%, but theres is a chance they planted something there. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, we don't know, but you cant claim they are not there
In the picture you posted under the sea nukes it says "This weapon was experimental and never went into production." Sorry but it all sounds conspiracy.
Russia is having trouble feeding its own troops and supplying them with jeeps and tanks. Putins generals and advisors keep falling out of windows accidentally and parts of the Russian army are currently occupied with shooting their own troops who are deserting. I doubt Putin is worried about boradband lines off the coast of Ireland given the internal problems he is managing in his governmental and military hierarchy.
You actually think the undersea cables are just for broadband?
Those underwater cables are his number one priority and essential to him winning the war. He put the plan into action last year when he managed to bribe boards.ie admins to move hosting across the Atlantic. All he needs to do now is blow up the cable and Europe is fucked. NATO won't be able to get updates from this thread and all intelligence will be lost.
fucked.
Just because American didn't go with them it doesn't mean Russia bastion of honestly and Respect for international rules didn't,
We've had everything from nuclear artillery shells and landmines and RPGs why not sea mines , Russia has touted authomnus underseas drones Capable to lunching nuclear weapons.
It's not beyond the realms of possiblity
The idiocy needs to stop here:
Moscow has two primary means by which it could directly threaten the cables: submarines and surface vessels that can deploy autonomous or manned submersibles. An example of the former was the Losharik spy submarine, which—before a tragic fire in 2019 decommissioned it—likely had the deep-sea capability necessary to map or destroy undersea cables. While the Losharik is being repaired, the Russian Navy has other such submarines and is developing unmanned undersea drones, such as the nuclear-powered Poseidon. As for surface ships, the most famous is the Yantar, which is ostensibly a research vessel but is understood to act as a spy ship that could deploy underwater submersibles to attack and destroy sections of cables.

Why the f**k would they use a nuke when all they would need is a large wire cutters and a submersible.
Remember wonder waffen ,
Elon Musk to the rescue
Ofcourse the undersea cables are a target... no one is denying this
I am focussed on the word NUCLEAR ... which would be a big issue... That is if they even exist... I researched this and found nothing on any country having developed nuclear sea mines let alone deploying these fictional weapons near a ''neutral'' country during peace time. I pushed the poster who suggested this weapon might be deployed by Russia to provide some evidence.. and I am still waiting for an anwser
But why would you use a nuclear sea mine to destroy an undersea cable? What advantage would it have over other means, that would justify the massive expense of its development, maintenance and deployment?
I mean, a nuclear tin-opener isn't beyond the realms of possibility either, but why would anyone make or use one?
Taking out fibre on one route shuts little to nothing down - traffic can be re-routed with agreement from carriers and this is the just the public cables.
It is a ridiculous suggestion and yet greenpilot sticks by the statement Russia depolyed Nuclear sea mines near the Irish coast .....
Nuclear tin-opener? Don't get me started. I'd only bought two of them when they all started using those tins with ring pulls
Because Russia are evil supervillains who can waste money on nuclear mines, but also are incredibly poor and under resourced and all their nukes are dusty old weapons that dont work and they cant even arm their conscripts..🙄
This thread often delves into the walter mitty, nuclear sea mines on the continental shelf is another such foray
After the nuclear war they'll all be looking to you to open up the preppers' stocks of tinned corned beef
In the apocalypse, the man with the nuclear tin-opener is god
