fun thing with an agent scanning and summarising telegram, you can get presented surprising news articles "Putin expanded the possibilities for signing contracts with the Ministry of Defence for convicts" (Fontanka, local st Petersburg paper)

air raid alert monitor is capturing status on monitored channels, official statements and breaking news. Main focus are Baltic neighbouring regions (Moscow just to test model). Idea is to see if countermeasures are correlated (more spoofing activity). Maybe, maybe not. We'll see

Looking in details into this Krasnotorovka spoof circle location. It is labeled "Military Unit 30879", supposedly Baltic Fleet hardened command center. Yandex satellite image is edited to only show forests (not even blurred). The habit to place spoof into areas of interrest is clear

somewhere the last 6 months, aisstream has lost significant coverage in inner Gulf of Finland (I have not kept record). Only very little coverage east of Gogland. A couple of individual reports in St Petersburg and intermittant vessels at sea

Bild

A hypothesis (without really knowing how this works): an ais station has been offline, or queueing buffered messages, and replays data and we have collisions on timestamps. Ais seems to be very clumsy in timestamping

Bild

here we have this kind of pattern with back and forth jump, forming like strings on a harp. In this case this is an effect of mmsi collision. Two vessels, VICTORY and LEA are reporting same mmsi. Will adjust tracking logic

Bild

it is interesting that there are events only picked up on ais, not ads-b (there are many such examples). Maybe due to antenna configuration? Here we see ais events that are not matched in time or location with aircrafts. Heatmap overlay still shows potential source of ads-b events (only indicative)

So this is weird. You got yourself a new spoofer to your port in Kaliningrad. You can set whatever position you like, and you punch in the coordinates for the Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant
