@@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.

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.
Probably two things are true:
1. Russian trawlers aren’t just fishing
2. Undersea data cables aren’t just for scientific data
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.
My grandfather was in the us navy from 1919 to 1942 when he retired. Some time in the 1970s when he was 72 years old he was contacted by the USN to reelist to train personnel to splice the undersea cables that he helped lay 50 years prior. The USN is their super intelligent had not continued to train personnel to maintain these cables. Him going back to sea and training new recruits was one of the greatest moments of his life!
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.
I was a submariner in the 70's. We took an interest in Russian trawlers all the time. They had lots of aerials. And didn't seem to do much fishing.
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.

I was a fisherman, no one goes over the same point 140 times😂. They passed over it because they wanted to take it but they weren't capable of it

Oh so you guys can figure out how cut internet cables but nord stream is a total mystery

According to some well researched RUclips 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!
So then why didn't nato and EU cooperate with Russia and reveal all this evidence publicly? Surely they want to incriminate Russia?
Your explanation makes no sense
@@KiwiCatherineJemmaVictoria Nulan made it VERY CLEAR that NORDSTREAM Would NOT Move Forward. THEY ALL KNOW Who BLEW THE PIPELINE UP. 🤨
While listening to my dipping sonar from a Cdn sea King helicopter, the co-pilot asked me if I had anything on my sonar, I told him just whales talking, I also told him scientists think whales can communicate up to maybe 1000 miles away given the right ocean conditions. He then asked me what I thought the whales might be saying, I told him I knew exactly what they were saying, they were saying "can you still hear meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?"

The whole report assumes that someone who carries out such an act of sabotage leaves their identification transmitter running. Seriously?
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.

I worked near a deep sea cable company. They come in different grades and even pressure lines that hold up to 2000 psi fluids. Cost is around $500 or more, a foot to produce. They go for miles. It will be interesting to see how these cables will be able to identify their attackers affordably. My mind is wandering on sensors of any type that warn any approaching vessels, including submarines.
@@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.
I think there is an underwater baby troll, that lives in one of the under sea caves…. When it sees the cable dangling outside the cave, it peeks its head out and goes chomp…chomp……😂😂😂
The cable is basically like spaghetti for the troll…..
I work in the submarine cable industry. This is a storm in a tea cup. Cables are damaged all the time and we go out and repair them. If someone wanted to damage the hydrophone, that's what they would do, cutting the cable is the simplest part to replace or repair.
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.
Of course it was sabotage. Back in the 70s a Russian "reasearch" ship dragged their anchor while leaving port in Woods Hole. They managed to unplug half of Cape Cod.
Do you have any theory's, on the woman on Marconi beach on the South shore of Massachusetts that was thrown in the air from her beach chair? Many people on the beach saw this. Marconi cable was installed from this beach, is it still working, why was she thrown in the air? After the investigation the Police had no answers, and it was kept out of the news, a live cable is broken but electrocutes a woman in a metal chair? 😮

If they turn off their transponder you won’t know who was there. Bad actors always do this.
Yes, like the US-navy as they placed the charges on Nordstream.
Someone knows it's there. It ain't you.
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.
How was it possible that several days went by before the data loss was detected? Wasn't there any automated system monitoring the data feed and alerting people via reliable messages when a fault is detected?

Or an answer for something prior. Was there a pipe in Baltic Sea?
You may be right.
Beware of snipers when repairing the cable.
Russian vessels have been cutting cables in North sea and Gulf of Finland,.common information here.
They have been searching for cables many years already from various countries.
Nordic countries even made a document about Russian "fishing fleets" that are suspected.
In case of Balticconnector, it was a Chinese-Russian vessel that used an anchor to cdrag and cut cables and a pipe.
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.

@@jonathantaylor6926 Go look up how long distance cables are made. Its not a straight shot
@@alexg9727 That's right., even on usb3 cables for VR headsets like my MetaQuest 2.
Our company designed some older in-water surveillance systems, and now in modern times, ANY optical cable can be used to track underwater pressure waves. The audio bandwidths are somewhat limited by the cable construction, but signatures of capital vessels and high energy events are straightforwardly obtained. Cables without armor coating have the highest bandwidths. Capital countries have tried to intercept each others data flows, for decades, with major successes in many areas. One advantage of optical cables is that is easier to determine if they have been intercepted, but nonetheless it can be done. As per the video commentary, Russia it probably training to see how easy it would be to eliminate tracking of submarines, and disrupt any data flow between adversaries, for tactical and strategic purposes. NATO would be well advised to prepare alternate methods for such detection, and possibly plan for active measures against such sabotage.
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).
Time to bring out the pigeons!
It seems crazy that such an expensive and crucial piece of equipment would be so easily abrupted. But then, who would imagine that they would see sabotage at such an isolated, inaccessible location.
That woman is wrong saying that Russia doesn't have the technology. For starter, Russia has the most powerful nuclear-powered icebreakers and navy in the North pole. They're plenty capable of doing whatever they please up there. Look up "Ice wars".

Yes to above, just that old "Chinese" ship had no Chinese aboard. Only Russians.
@@dannydetonator I didn't know, but that makes total sense!
9:32 Another option is that a military vessel spoofed the MMSI used in their AIS transponder to make it appear to be a fishing vessel. Impossible to confirm the vessel identity without other corroborating evidence such as satellite observations, either visual or RF.
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.
If those Russian vessels were doing that deliberately all they had to do was turn off their AIS and any other vessel identification systems and then destroy the cable. It doesn't make sense that they'd knowingly destroy the cable and allow their navigational route to be recorded, thus showing they were the only vessel there at the time of destruction
Sure they would. And there's more than one way to record the audial frequency signature of ocean vessels. They just don't care.
alien squid probably did a lot of this... they have sharp beaks and found in the depths of the oceans... maybe the Russians and Chinese have trained them.
The concern I would have is that the 'discovery' of encroachment and damage is after the fact. How is there no real time monitoring?
great small documentary!!!!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dang for a sec i thought this was about the Nordstream Pipeline but then I saw Bloomberg and laughed at my folly.
When I was a kid I think I ran into one of these. I was playing off the coast of Mexico and I dove pretty deep (I can swim well). And I grabbed a giant cable, it was super heavy and almost stuck to the bottom. It gave me a really weird feeling to tug on it so I just left it alone, I mean I was like 10 or 11. But ever since then I knew the ocean had a lot of these mysterious cables.
more expensive cables need to be used that will alarm when they are cut and direct the investigators the the exact location of the cut.
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.

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.

@@theRUclipsHandle best answer !
maybe it´s part of *starlinks* marketing strategy ;)
It was done by the American again as they did the German North Sea pipe line from Russia 3:00
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.
Maybe Russia confused the cable with their oil pipeline

@@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.

Since the first hop is a military facility that captures and sanitizes the data, they should have the RAW data.

Wow!!! What an astonishing and original idea, suggest you have it patented immediately and contact the United Nation Science Department without delay.
@@leelunk8235 Please repeat, I don't read gibberish,
Used to sabotage everyone else but complain when somebody sabotages them.
K, putin bot
@@karlscher5170Putin blew up his own gas pipe he didnt realise he could just switch it off!
@@PhilipBaker-sf4yvHe would have been blamed if he had turned it off. Now others can be framed.
@@greggweber9967 "He would have been blamed if he had turned it off." Blamed for what? No one can blame them for not selling something they own.
@@greggweber9967 Do you really believe that ?
So remote, so vast, and so close to Russia…..
Waay-waaaaaaay-waaay!!!!! Underreported!!
Cute docu editing aside- the facts here are significant and should NOT be overlooked!!!!!!!!
I wouldn't pass the Chinese
saying that area is big and we cant monitor is wrong because fiber optic cable can be monitored with OTDR system once cable snug , the warning will be sent to early response center, no marine vessel can run away red handed ! cables can be used to monitor themselves, only the issue might be OTDR after amplifiers but i am pretty sure even for that case there are solution
The do not use surface vessels for such sinister activities.
How can anyone respond fast enough to catch anyone in the act? Distances can be very large.
@@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?
Reminds me of the Newnew Polar Bear, which dragged its anchor across the Baltic Sea seabed, cutting through cables and gas lines.
When he said "troll" and the cable got "trolled" I thought he was trolling us about having been trolled.
But apparently it is a technical term for dragging a fish net through the water.
Number 2. Easy to guess, hard to prove.
I'm not saying it's aliens........ But it aliens.
Creepy ATT Long Lines? This is a great article! I think most people think by now most inter continental data transfer is by Satellite but ATT LongLines Division carries lots of information.
will have to go back to shortwave radio I guess
Of course they are....
at 00:40, is there really FOUR data cables from Greenland? To Newfoundland, Iceland, Denmark (via Norway) and Ireland? Really? I looked, ONE (double ) cable goes from NL to Greenland to Iceland. One small cable goes up to three small "settlements" in Greenland. (That cable would not even be as large a capacity as the "cablevision" cable that goes by my house.) Anyway, it is nice to see Norway blames Russia as much as the USA blames Canada.
That was really interesting thank you
You can hijack the cables to repatch them with your own vertion and still the information run through. Could may well have been that kind of attempts.
As a Canadian with a family history of protecting the high Arctic, this is concerning.
Tell the CIA to stop cutting cables.
Putin’s FSB and Navy, not CIA.
Exactly..
@@gazmasonik2411 CIA is run by Putin, send message direct to Putin.
I love documentaries like this 😊
Humans need to realise that the sensory system of protecting the ocean is more important than their paranoia
Russia harming its neighbors! This is truly shocking...
