Maybe some sort of cheap buoy network outfitted with sensors, GPS, and a longterm sustainable power source

Idk how feasible that would be and can't even estimate how many buoys it would take to cover everything

But you could anchor or even connect some of them directly to the pipeline itself. If it's a network, having every few buoys connected via fiber optic to the pipeline would allow them all communicate and transmit data fast af

Might be possible to collect submarine comms too if the tether acted like an antenna haha

Actually yeah. Didn't even think about that

Def a possibility

I always hear about how cheap and easy it is to buy aerial drones, but really nothing about UUV's.

$30k seems doable for the Houthi, but prob not something they could mass replicate. And they're pretty limited as to which sections of the pipelines are viable targets.

googles too

I found a small one for $5600 with a 330 ft depth rating. It's tethered, but you could prob extend it:

UUV

It is wild how exposed the pipelines are, and there's MILES upon MILES of them. I guess people figured their depth would protect them... But tech keeps getting cheaper, more capable, and more accessible ¯_/(ツ)_/¯

Whaaat I didn't know they made those!

*googles

Looks like Russia made one during the Cold War for frogmen firefights (<-wild) At a depth of 15 ft, its effective range was 99 ft!! The deeper you go the worse it gets though, and it totally sucks on land too

Frogmen Firefights

*edit 99 ft, not 909 :(

They have this nonprofit called Privacy Not Included that rates companies/products based on how much they respect user privacy.

Modern cars collect literally everything they can about you. Low key kinda scary yo

You know if they don't post a vid showing off some shiny new submersible soon, then they probably went about it in the jankiest way possible

100 meters is pretty deep for scuba diving too...

Didn't recognize the director but looks like they've done a couple other creepypasta-inspired films.

One's straight up a documentary about the slender man haha
