Russian naval vessels in late April stole a wave measuring buoy created and operated by Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) from its location off the island of Hiiumaa, researchers claim.
The incident came almost a year after Russia’s border guard removed more than 20 buoys demarcating shipping lanes from the Narva River, which forms part of Estonia’s eastern border.
As of May, Russia has still not returned the stolen buoys. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has contacted its Russian counterparts, but without success.
However, TalTech’s marine systems center says it is not giving up – next week it will place a new floating device at the same location.
I’m desperately hoping the new ones have remote detonated mines in them.
They just need to contact Mark Rober and his glitter bomb team: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgeXOVaJo_gnexNopBzUKdl3QKoADJlS8
Honestly some kind of naval grade glitter bomb that can cover a whole russian ship or even port in glitter would be hilarious.
Imagine the amount of micro plastics though
Meh. I’m more microplastic than meat at this point. I should probably be considered a cyborg.
