Electrical link down between Estonia and Finland
Electrical link down between Estonia and Finland
The subsea transmission line experienced an outage on Christmas Day at 12:26pm.
Fucking russians. (that's not jumping to conclusions, that's pure Bayes).
It actually is, given that the ship they found is Chinese.
Allies.
Time to blockade St Petersburg? And Kaliningrad.
we need estonian Finnish joint built attackers
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
/s
Maybe we should PUT more cables down and INcrease redundancy?
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.
if it's HVDC then there are complex and expensive inverters on both sides
And likely armored as well to protect against underground rock slides, dragged anchors, etc.
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.
Again with the cables?
Hong Kong flag this time.
