The Kaliningrad jammer-spoofer komplex completely broke the navigation systems of shadow tanker PATE 9338905 as she passed south Baltic Sea last 24h. Normally, systems recover but this one seem to suffer a severe concussion or intoxication. Just an anecdote =)

Sanctioned and false flagged tanker INVICTA 9250543 loaded oil in Primorsk yesterday and is now on the move out of Baltic Sea. Confirmed as false flagged by Cameroon government she will reach Swedish/German/Denmark in 30-40 hours. Being stateless, any navy may stop and inspect at any time/place.

El Niño, nature's chaotic climate agent, has formed in a warmed-up Pacific Ocean and is expected to grow to historic strength, meteorologists said Thursday.

A week ago I posted H I Suttons call to naval drone arms and a common comment was "they will never survive North Atlantic" Today I stumbled upon Saildrone who has published a bunch of videos from inside North Atlantic storms. youtu.be/79XDFP-sIiw

H I Sutton makes a case for the fast rollout of small and cheap but fast, deadly and scary uncrewed surface vessels. Or, make robot-torpedbåt great again.
Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.
If you want to add to jamming research, one way is to record jamming on your Android unit as you pass a jammed area, such as south Baltic Sea. Clear instructions below. Check local laws, do not approach borders or do it inside non-democracies and ask your mother before. There are risks. post here.
If you are flying or sailing in area likely impacted by gnss jamming or spoofing you can use GnssLogger* app on your phone to record gnss data that you can research on your own or share with others. A brief thread on settings and file descriptions. * play.google.com/store/apps/d...
⚡️Russian attacks across Ukraine kill 2, injure 27, hit Turkish ship over past day. "Russia continues to deliberately threaten international maritime transport by attacking civilian infrastructure and merchant ships," Ukraine's Navy said.

@seagor.bsky.social (et al?) has just published two glorious methods to locate GPS/GNSS jammers using already active satellite constellations where data is open. NASA CYGNSS, a micro-satellite constellation devised to detect hurricanes and NISAR, a global radar to track changes in nature.
Converging on the jammer: Dual-satellite GPS interference localization from space - GPS World
Read the first direct comparison of CYGNSS and NISAR for GPS jammer localization.

Finnish coast guard now confirms my hunch from below, there is a new GPS interference hotspot west of Åland. Given limited radio range this certainly opens new questions..... where is the transmitter? yle.fi/a/74-20227827
Venäjä on lisännyt GPS-häirintää Saaristomerellä ja Ahvenanmerellä
Häirintä vaikeuttaa veneiden ja laivojen GPS-vastaanotinten paikanmääritystä. Se saattaa myös vaikuttaa muiden laitteiden toimintaan.

More dreamers, or, in fact all identified dreamers in Ålandshav and Skärgårdshavet last 7 days. Still exploratory, no conclusions, sus timing.

Fantastic news, throwing phones away when the battery dies is quite ridiculous. We don't need super thin phones, we need phones we can repair.
“You can’t holiday here” - Russian Tuapse is facing an environmental disaster after a fuel oil spill caused by strikes on a local oil refinery. Authorities are suppressing information about the situation, while residents endure “oil rains” and toxic, polluted air.
A ship recently suspected of being a Russian drone carrier (possibly with drone found) has broken down in the midst of the routes NATO will use to exercise logistics ops, starting Monday. Aurora26 is coined a dress rehearsal for Swedens role as a transit country if eastern front needs defending.
‼️ On Sept. 7, 🇩🇪 police special forces stopped the freighter #Scanlark in the Kiel Canal, boarded the ship and inspected the crew for alleged espionage and sabotage. It’s suspected of having served as a base for drone flights over critical infrastructure and naval vessels in northern Germany. 1/

One of Russia's main oil terminals, Primorsk in Gulf of Finland was successfully attacked yesterday. Videos show an alleged attack with today's aftermath and fires detected by NASA FIRMS support it. Other reports also mention unsuccessful attacks against southern terminal Ust-Luga.
Tonight, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the "Transneft - Port Primorsk" oil terminal in Russia’s Leningrad region. It is a key export hub on the Baltic Sea, through which a significant share of Russia’s oil supplies to foreign markets passes, including via the so-called "shadow fleet."
Following yesterday's attack on the Labinsk oil facility in Russia, most of the tank farm has been destroyed, and the fire is still ongoing.
Last night, Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in Labinsk, Kuban. The fire intensified during the day, spreading to several more storage tanks.
Much like @tankertrackers.com I find almost no indication of any meaningful traffic in Hormuz strait earlier today. 2 maybe transits. The image covers about 100 Nmi of closest route, or 6-10 hour. In other words, if 4 ships transited/d evenly spaced we ought to catch at least one.
