Romania has put on pause use of parts of it's own territory. After three drone attacks on ships since yesterday the huge Sulina anchorage has been declared a danger area by authorities and ships are advised to keep clear. The anchorage houses about 70 ships right now.
EU forces from @EUNAVFOR_MED IRINI boarded a suspected Russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean on 13 November. The boarding, conducted under Article 110 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, confirmed the MV MIDAG was sailing under a false flag.

This Monday about 80 flights and 16k* passengers got hit by Russian jamming over North Sea. Dutch reporting now show how seven planes approaching Schiphol airport (4th in Europe) had to resort to non-GPS dependent ways of landing. This of course increases risks.

Proof of Concept, glitches left, but pretty pleased. A half day in the life of Swedish Coast Guard air patrol. Did not find anything special, just wanted to show you =)

US Air Force Combat Sent (JAKE27) spent today doing one of it's yearly mappings of Russian Baltic Sea air defence systems alongside more routine ISR platforms. Yellow blobs in map is interference in L-band. Also in background military air traffic and selected ship traffic.
The massive but short jamming of flights over North Sea Nov 9 was almost certainly caused by Russian units. A Russian arms convoy of three freighters and likely a warship passed the epicentre of the incident minutes away. ~80 flights (~15k passengers?) were affected for 20 min.
auonsson@auonsson.bsky.social · 3d agoWebsite gspwise.aero detected a significant jamming event Nov 9, over Netherlands. For 20 minutes the onboard GNSS of about 50 flights had issues solving a position. This part of Europe has as far as I know hitherto not seen any strong jamming.

A British P8 maritime ISR/subhunter aircraft spent about 4 hours today doing tracks above 458m deep Landsorts-abyss, just outside Stockholm. It is a convenient spot to hide a submarine and also close to key naval installations.
#defence The Swedish Coast Guard just published a video celebrating 50 years of its flight wing operations. History and tech is mentioned, as well as the added work keeping track of 'odd ships' (read: Russian Shadowfleet) around Sweden's 3000 km of coastline www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zL_...

For those sailors whose account names for any/all internet services (email, forums, social media, video conferencing services, etc.) include the the name, hull number, and/or class/project number of the warship on which you serve --- thank you.
Casio F-91W is now an official stocked item of the Swedish Armed Forces. Infamous from Iraq war since it was very popular among fighters and bombmakers. For good reason: dirt cheap, decently waterproof and sturdy, slick, 7 year battery. Can be modified to not light up.
We're far too concerned about what Russia might do when we should be focused on making Russia afraid of what we might do.
Jack Murphy@jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social · last wk.I hate all this God damn pussyfooting around we've been doing for years with the Russians. We should have thrown up a no fly zone and pounded Russian positions in Ukraine a long time ago. Putin has shown that he's too pussy to do anything about it. Pull his punk card and get it over with.
The 2nd recent Russian armaments convoy has started driving highly irregular in busy waters south Baltic Sea. Trio left Kaliningrad a few days ago loaded with weapons, dest unknown, escorted by corvette Stoikiy. For some reason they split up ~06Z with 2 looping since 9 hours.
US Air Force radar and emission mapping plane COMBAT SENT is about to start circling Kaliningrad with (almost certain) fighter support along the border south of her. While tankers, fighters and intelligence collecting aircraft are common, this air frame is extra gucci.

‼️⚓️The 🚢 #FITBURG cable-cutting verdict is in: The Helsinki District Court sentenced the 🇷🇺 Russian captain Andrei Maksimenko to 3 years 6 months prison and the 🇦🇿Azerbaijani sailor Vusal Majidov to 2 years 10 months prison for aggravated sabotage. Both are to be imprisoned immediately.
Sarah Kirchberger@sarahkirchberger.bsky.social · 2mo ago🇫🇮⚓️The FITBURG anchor-dragging trial promises to be more entertaining than anything so far. Remember the ship sporting the German WWII submarine symbol? Well, it was also flying a Finnish flag... Meanwhile the Russian captain claims his ship had nothing to do with the damage, despite all evidence. 🍿

Cargo ship HAV GERMANICA spent large parts of Oct 28-29 zig-zaging outside a Swedish military training area. A ship, highly likely her, was boarded last night, is partly or fully Russian crewed and the ship is now in a Swedish port, possibly detained.
auonsson@auonsson.bsky.social · 2w agoSwedish police have raided a ship suspected of being engaged in hostile (Russian) activities. Operation took place by Gotland during night. From available data in article ship is almost certainly the SWEDICA HAV 8605478 Not much more known, AIS shows nothing.
Svenska journalist-följare, ring och fråga / tipsa er helg-redaktion: Var det Germanica Hav som blev bordat under natten och har de isf frivilligt gått till Kappelshamn? Har polisen gripit besättningen på GERMANICA HAV? Är de ryska medborgare? Varför är G H i Kappelshamn? bsky.app/profile/auon...
auonsson@auonsson.bsky.social · 2w agoMr Nixon found a much better candidate, also a HAV freighter that fits article data and did not just pass but is now in port in northern Gotland. That would make the story even more interesting, indicating crew as well are in Sweden. @nyheternajohan.bsky.social GERMANICA HAV 8324672
