Russian navy steals Estonian university's wave buoy, takes it to Kaliningrad

But like... Why

Does anyone have a guess? I am genuinely curious

The article says a lenient interpretation was the russians saw it in the water and thought it was a hazard. But tbh I doubt it.

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

They have always engaged in that sort of petty bullying of their neighbours. It is in reality Russia being in a state of constant "cold" warfare against them, but they know that their neighbours won't respond. A couple of days ago a Russian warship wouldn't move out of the way of a Danish ferry inside Danish territorial waters (even though ferry lanes are clearly marked as such), causing the ferry to last minute swerve.

Russia consider this psychological warfare, creating chaos and confusion. The country is a tumor on mankind, spreading its own shittiness everywhere it can.

Meh. I'm more microplastic than meat at this point. I should probably be considered a cyborg.

Bullying

[crazyhotpasta@lemm.ee]

Russia is famous for low IQ operators. They propably thought it was a samovar and took it home.

They needed the parts to build a bicycle because they haven't been able to steal any from Ukraine for a while.

Buoyis are the only enemy russian navy is capable of taking on with acceptable losses.
