I think the amount of energy needed during wintertime would be difficult to cover with pumped storage or traditional batteries. You have to have suitable geography for pumped storage and also enough (fresh) water available for that. However, instead of water compressed air could be also used, but that has also problems.

How about video of it?

Strange as I have never heard that you would have to show your ID when buying a prepaid sim card in Finland. And I have also bought them several times and I think that I have sometimes bought them with cash.

I have also noticed that for some reason hot showers and also shoulder and head massage help seem to help a lot, but only about as long as I am in the shower or have the massage. And also putting Vicks VapoRub on scalp seems to help a lot, but it is quite messy. However, a triptan medication I have started to use recently, seems to help even more.

I found a video that has lot of information about the cable severing ship:

I think it had helicopter pad, a harbor for relatively large ships etc. I think Russia had planned to use it as a place to land troops or "green men" during war as spying could happen without helicopter pad etc.

First two sabotages were done by Chinese ships (which may have had russians on the board). This one was registered to Cook Islands.

Is the exact positions public info or is it just crude positions? BTW, if the exact cable positions is public info, where is it available?

It seems that Putin thinks Russia is able to take Belarusia by coercion:

I don't think it was incompetent attempts to attach something to the lines. It severed 4 data data cables and electricity cable called Estlink 2. If it hadn't been stopped, it would have severed also Estlink 1 within half and hour later perhaps also Balticconnector gas pipe.

About year ago Balticconnector gas pipe was already damaged by a Chinese ship, which had been dragging the anchor for long time in a very suspicious manner:

And again in August several data cables were severed by a Chinese ship. According to one analysis, that time they may have dragged the anchor for 400 kilometers:

BTW, Russia seems to have for years spend time finding out the routes of sea cables and perhaps also spied them or prepared some kind of sabotage:

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action...

As far as I know, they still need classical encryption methods (with something like shared secret key or public key for authentication) to detect active man in the middle attacks where the attacker prevents the parties connecting to each other and then pretending to both parties to be the other party by creating his own "messages" as if they came from the other party. Or at least to have some kind of additional trusted physical medium where it is impossible to prevent the parties communicating directly, capturing their "messages" and then sending your own modified "messages" instead -- perhaps based on some kind of timing etc.

And if you still have to rely to classical encryption methods to make sure you know the identity of the other party (to prevent active man in the middle attack), why not just use classical encryption methods for everything else as well, instead of using quantum key distribution?
