Cables have been targeted militarily for over 100 years, with incidents dating back to the late 19th century. Cutting cables aims not only to disrupt military communications but also to force the use of radio waves for interception. Presently, there are concerns in Europe regarding the security of trans-Atlantic and northern-Atlantic cables, as Russia, known for its sabotage campaigns, poses a threat due to its expertise in deep-sea cable cutting. Recent incidents in the Baltic Sea, like the damaging of an undersea gas pipeline and a communication cable suspected to be caused by a Chinese-owned ship, highlight the challenges in monitoring underwater activities.
