Just how bad is Germany at redundancy? In 2022 just 2 fiber optic cables had to be cut to put the entire German railway in northern Germany out of commission (source).
Maybe Russia should cut more cables to expose the faults in Germany’s infrastructure. It’s hilarious.
Redundwhat? Sounds like it would cost money. So let’s give the contract to the cheapest bidder and be done. … What do you mean the cost exploded because the cheapest bidder didn’t calculate correctly and also just ignored some costs?
Public infrastructure typically isn’t designed with Russian sabotage in mind, you know. Although maybe nowadays it ought to be.
It doesn’t have to be sabotage resistant, it has to be disaster resistant. A single backup line is a joke. With a nationwide fiber network, there would be thousands of backup lines. A single one speaks volumes about German investment in infrastructure.
