Also the Russians are the only ones to possess a fleet of nuclear powered icebreakers capable of forging the way for cargo passage. They had some old Soviet-era ones, but recently built new ones too.
>forging the way for cargo passage.
yeah look at that "way for cargo" behind the ice breaker in your pic. does it look like tankers and container ships could move through there?

I think we should speed up global warming to improve shipping lanes.

Aren't the houthis supplied and supported by Iran, what the hell do they care if they cripple shipping between the West & China, they don't give a rats ass and it will probably be a net benefit for them because it directly affects israel as well.
The US gives them the equivalent of 3% of their GDP in food aid every year. Cutting off sea trade, or even just pissing off the West will mean they get hungry very quickly.
Sweden used 600kg command detonated mines to guard naval installations during the Cold War.
Have some poor ass conscript sit on a sonar all day and tell him to push the big button if he hears something funny.
that was when our defense was "total" and autistically researched, even the legislation (and still is) so optimized for defense that we literally cannot surrender
Best part is that it's kept in brochures that were handed out not that long ago ("if the war comes" I think it said, around the time they reintroduced conscription), so they're still not fricking around.
How exactly brownoids benefit from mining their own sea?
Think bigger.
Nobody will ever bother with north seas.
US of A is not even affected, because they use Pacific.
>US of A is not even affected
That can't be true. Why have bases all over the world and bomb Yemen but also it doesn't effect them.
it feels right to bomb camels in yemen
we don't do it for no resources, but because it feels right
>you wouldn't get it
because one thing the US guarantees is the freedom of navigation for trade on the sea. it's one of the reasons we have the hegemony we do right now.
>we
You got a mouse in your pocket?
i'm american, i pay taxes. hence the we.

He doesn't know. Shameful.

Idiot. That's what these vessels are made for and that's what they've been doing for decades.

I'm pretty sure I've heard the talking point from Western politician idiots that icebreakers will no longer be needed because muh global warming.
that's been historically talked about here in there throughout modern history as a potential opportunity, unironically
let's mine the Bering strait pre-emptively
They're brown, they don't think.

What is the benefit for houtis at hurting israel?
Mankind benefits from hurting israel.
Naval mines are OP as frick
Closing the Suez/Red sea would upset most asian and european countries and is the kind of thing that caused UN sanctioned airstrikes
There's a reason Iran threatens to close the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf every 6 months.
Most of their food comes from UN shipping if I remember correctly

Sounds nice.
Imagine if they actually served drinks while blowing up a small boat
The old Spicy Trashcan
but they haven't, weird.
Grain Deal status?
How do these work?
Boyles law
magnetic or radar most likely
>radar under sea
They are deployed in shallow waters. Huge frickoff explosion cracks the keel.
Simple as.
magnetic, acoustic or pressure change as a ship goes over them. the more advanced ones can even be programmed to go after particular noise signatures.

Giga-based

Note that a pair of these really messed up a Tico (Princeton) during Desert Storm. They do work.
The last time Iran tried that Operation Praying Mantis happened.
You are living in the past like those users shouting about the Sino Soviet split until last year.
Yeah, the current Administration is Iran's biggest international ally. No Praying Mantis on their watch!
