'Moscow military spy ship' tracked mapping and surveilling NATO undersea cables — 'She’s following cable lines and pipelines, making stops. We are monitoring her very closely

A Russian "military spy ship" has been tracked surveilling and mapping undersea cables along Europe's Atlantic coastline, potentially aiming to intercept communications from NATO allies. The vessel, disguised as a civilian craft, is equipped with surveillance equipment and is suspected of targeting cables crucial for internet access, energy, military communications, and financial transactions. The ship's activities have been closely monitored, with radar data showing it lurking over undersea cables in strategic locations. Concerns have been raised about the possibility of Russia disrupting vital infrastructure and the need for enhanced defense measures to protect undersea cables.
