So that is Poland, Spain, England and now Italy in the past few months?

Have I missed any - very brazen!

I know nothing about railways, but is there any sort of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDM) technology that railways use to detect issues with the rails?

I suppose with the distances we're talking about and the resistance of steel this isn't visible without a whole bunch of signal generators?

Why would someone do this?

This fits the pattern of sabotage all across Europe. The obvious candidate is Russia who are using hybrid warfare against Europe/UK for a long time. Why does this post have so many... strange comments, mostly from new accounts? More hybrid warfare?

I don’t get it what’s the goal here? did anyone claim responsibility

Russia has been involved in covert sabotage operations in Europe for more than a decade [1][2]. You can learn more about this from investigative journalist Christo Grozev [3].

What are the chances that the high-speed rail crash that occurred in Spain a few weeks ago was also caused by them? [4]

Russia is openly attacking Europe. This is the second time railways have been bombed right at the start of the olympics!

Fuck me, what will it take before we do something?
