Lt Cameron Winslow described the effort to cut the telegraphic cable in 1898 as a struggle against severe weather and heavy equipment, highlighting the challenges faced in disrupting enemy communications during warfare.
In the context of modern geopolitics, undersea cables are targeted due to their critical role in international telecommunications, transmitting 99% of global data and worth trillions in financial transactions.
Dr. Sidharth Kaushal emphasized that given their importance to the global economy, undersea cables are of significant interest during geopolitical conflicts, marking potential vulnerabilities for nations involved.
Recent incidents, such as the damage to two undersea fiber optic cables in the Baltic Sea, showcase ongoing international tensions and the strategic importance of these infrastructure points.
