The Baltic Jammer is in Kaliningrad. 5th proof, 3rd method. This time with numbers on likelyhood. We just need a statistician to tell us how sure we are. Surely over 9000. @PajalaJussi computed how many radio horizons of first jammed plane intersect. Here, heatmapped.

UK has seized a shadow tanker this morning. SMYRTOS, 9389100, has an almost certainly false flag from Cameroon, Chinese owners and Indian managment. Last port Ust Luga, Russia - hence laden with oil.
Replying to @Richard_AHolmes
The operation was supported with aircraft from the Maritime Air Group, an RAF P-8 aircraft, as well as HMS Sutherland and HMS Ledbury. The SMYRTOS will now be held on the south coast of England while investigations, likely into the vessels false Cameroon flag, are carried out.

About 8 hours after shadow tanker SMYRTOS was seized by UK three other shadow tankers made abrupt turns within an hour of each other, avoiding going through the English Channel. Home base called I assume. All ships in screenshots are sanctioned.

The big questions to ask this morning about the Russia shadow fleet tanker interdiction in the English Channel are: what was the legal basis and has Cameroon finally acted on its rogue registry which is the second-largest provider of flag services to shadow fleet tankers after Russia? Two Cameroon-flagged Russia tankers diverted from their intended course via the English Channel this morning after the very high-profile interception and boarding by British armed forces of Smyrtos (IMO 9389100) overnight. There are dramatic images Royal Marines sliding down ropes from helicopters on to the ship. Cameroon-flagged Smyrtos (according to its AIS and Equasis database), was built in 2009, and had loaded at the Russian Baltic port of Ust Luga. Absent from the feverish media coverage is the legal basis. Smyrtos was sanctioned by the UK in October 2025 and the EU in July 2025 and *appears* to be legitimately flagged. If so, the tanker has the right of innocent passage under international law. However, earlier this month the Cameroon government announced it was cleaning up its ship registry, Dozens of tankers had reflagged to Cameroon over the past six months because they were using fraudulent ship registries and effectively stateless. This was the legal basis for interdiction efforts seen across the Baltic, Atlantic and Mediterranean over the past 18 months and this vulnerability meant tankers had to find a "legitimate" flag. This is the 12th Russia shadow fleet tanker intercepted and boarded by European or UK authorities so far in 2026 we have tracked at @WindwardAI The last tanker Tagor (IMO 9282481) was boarded by French authorities with UK support on May 31. That tanker was falsely flagged with the fraudulent ship registry of Madagascar. The targeting of the Cameroon-flagged vessel comes months after the UK government pledged in February to deal with UK sanctioned shadow fleet tankers regularly sailing through its waters. The military operation saw Smyrtos boarded via helicopter and then redirected to the coastal waters off southern England. The vessel "met the requirements" for boarding a government spokesman said on the BBC this morning without further explanation. He flagged further tankers would be targeted. So far that hasn’t deterred 3 sanctioned shadow fleet tankers tracked through the Channel today. But they are not flagged with Cameroon. Those that are have diverted. So lots of headlines, little information. If this ship has been deflagged from Cameroon (but the IMO’s database has yet to keep up), that’s confusing. If the UK has found another legal basis to board and detain beyond article 110 of UNLCOS (stateless), then that’s interesting. My money is that Cameroon’s government has worked out that its registry has been hijacked by some rogue officials and that there is no legal basis for the registration of the 130-plus shadow fleet tankers. They might not have communicated that to official databases, but obviously told the UK government. Watching with interest.

They are going for each other’s throats.
EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

Russia is jamming Baltic Sea - 6th proof, 4th method. Pskov, Kaliningrad and Kingisepp stand out as highly likely spots for the jammers, found by analyzing NISAR satellite imagery. Method is copied from work by @SeanGorman and verified by identifying a known jammer, /- 2.5kmđź§µ

Throwback to this thread. Animation, gold. Result, zero!

I thought I had found indications of a targeted GNSS jamming attack against president von der Leyen's aircraft this Sunday. Then I disproved my own hypothesis. Here's how! This is common for me, I usually don't show it because it takes a lot of effort to explain also 0-results

One prompt later, a high res satellite imagery map with a grid were I can mark cells not containing the jammer.

A Swedish Coast Guard vessel had its ”equipment/GPS” rendered inoperable on patrol of the west coast of Sweden. A Finnish and a Russian national from a nearby boat was arrested but has since been released.

Today Swedish 46th rowing company went on a live mission after training for 10 weeks. They took king Carl XVI Gustaf and queen Silvia across Stockholms water in the royal barge, for their 50th wedding anniversary.
Snart losskastning 💙 I nära 10 (!) veckor har det 46:e Roddkompaniet ur 4:e Sjöstridsflottiljen tränat och kl 14.00 kommer man ro kungaparet från Logårdskajen till en tillfällig pir vid Sjöhistoriska fartygspir Ett svenskt maritimt kulturarv i världsklass! #Vasaorden

Even when a vessel spoofs its GPS position, some AIS data can still be useful. A ship's heading (the direction it's pointing) may remain accurate, which helps to identify and track vessels along with satellite imagery and other sources.
