Same thing happened in Poland and it was confirmed that Russians did it.

Was waiting for someone to bring this up. X is already full of similar nonsense. As if DB didn't have a track record of utterly broken infrastructure. For decades.

I guess by this logic we could also claim that "there Germans caused the power outage in Berlin last winter" because the perpetrators were likely German political activists.

Do you have a link?

Was it similar to what we’re seeing now (nationwide, radio related)?

tl;dr: Trains can be stopped by a transmitting a simple, documented tone sequence over analog radio.

		Ah, good, not the same thing then. Honestly, DB are perfectly capable of clusterf*cking their GSM-R without help from Russia.

> it was confirmed that Russians did it.

>> It’s believed the perpetrators of the attack were supporters of the Russian war effort, as the stop signals were also joined by broadcasts of the Russian national anthem and a speech from Russian President Vladimir Putin. The attacks have some significance to the invasion of Ukraine, as Poland has been a hub for crucial weapons deliveries supporting the defence of Ukraine.

Yes, yes, it's a code of honour not to use the someone' else national anthem, sure. Especially if you need to bolster the population support for some ongoing cause.
