Smart mines. There are thousands of them deployed already.

  Huh? What are you even talking about? Which models specifically? And how sure are you that they can reliably discriminate between Russian vessels versus others that look and sound identical? You haven't really thought this plan through.

    > And how sure are you that they can reliably discriminate between Russian vessels versus others that look and sound identical? Based on recent events, even people struggle to tell what is Russian and what isn’t. These smart mines might solve that? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/us/politics/russia-oil-tanker-venezuela.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/us/politics/russia-oil-ta...

      No, smart mines won't solve that. I can't fathom where this fantasy is coming from. It's totally disconnected from the reality of current mine technology.

          What's your point? Those weapons don't have the ability to reliably distinguish Russian shadow fleet vessels from others.
