Technically they could down satellites, but thats nither the entire internet nor is it a good idea for themselves. Doing that would make it increasingly harder to operate any satellite in orbit due to the prices left behind, they don’t just fall down, its a gigantic shotgun cloud aiming for other satellites.
They do technically have nukes as well. Doesn’t mean using them is anywhere near reasonable or beneficial…
And i said its like “we have nukes” its a empty threat not literally we have nukes, you could use nukes to destroy the internet as a total. But that would cost everyone’s life.
Undersea Kabels wouldn’t really matter, it would impact the transfer rate/ping between usa and EU but it wouldn’t kill the internet.
Also most of these cables are very deep in the ocean and relatively small and very hard to find and where they are not deep (at the ends) there is heavy monitoring. Furthermore the locations of these cables are not publicly available. Finding them without the location data is like trying to find a specific grain of sand on a beach, its possible, but not very likely at best.
I don’t think they have the actual info about the location of the cables, and even if, as said they are very hard to reach and heavily armored against threats. Its also a article 5 reason if they attack them.
And yes Russia uses the internet itself as weapon, wich is way more useful to them in a realistic sense than invoking a article 5 against them.

Also Russia is kinda using GPS themselves lol.
Furthermore there is the European Union or rather Esa made Galileo https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) GNSS is a backup for GPS (and even more accurate lol).

undersea cables… the threat was about cutting undersea cables….
stfu, nobody said the entire internet….
just read the article before trying to debunk the title….

Btw, no reason to be so mad lol
Given Russia’s massive hard-on for spy activities, there is a near 100% chance they have mapped it out completely.
It still doesn’t matter, as the internet is Russia’s best weapon by far. They’re not going to change that anytime soon.

No just realistic, its also a fact that this would induce a article 5 reason for both ends of the cable… They won’t do that.
