"A device capable of changing the world order": China has created a robot to cut underwater cables at depths of up to 4 thousand meters
Chinese engineers claim to have created a new device for cutting underwater communication cables. The new device from the Celestial Empire is capable of damaging important communication lines at depths of up to 4 meters.
China has created a device that cuts underwater cables and could change the world order: Beijing can now destroy global communications in the event of a geopolitical crisis
– reports the South China Morning Post.
It is noted that the compact and unnoticeable device is capable of damaging even the most protected underwater cable lines. This is the first time in history that a country has officially warned potential adversaries about the ability to destroy critical communications networks.
The publication emphasizes that the maximum operating range of modern communication lines is 2 thousand meters, while the Chinese automatic underwater saboteur is capable of operating at twice the depth.
Designed for civilian rescue operations and seabed mining, the device could raise concerns among other countries, giving Beijing the ability to destabilize global communications during a geopolitical crisis
– warns SCMP ill-wishers.
Let us recall that at the beginning of this year, the Taiwanese authorities accused Beijing has been accused of damaging the communication line between the island and the United States. A cargo ship was suspected of causing the incident by severing the cable with a lowered anchor. However, according to a Chinese publication, China has more technological devices for disrupting communications of a potential enemy.
