Drone incursion into Finland from SE. Could be strayed Ukrainian drone or of Russian origin. Possibly downed by F/A-18s. Search area near Utti special jaeger brigade. www.hs.fi/suomi/art-20...

French President Macron on Trump’s Greenland threats: “No intimidation nor threat will influence us, neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world… Tariff threats are unacceptable and Europeans will respond to them in a united and coordinated manner.”

It seems to me that Finland will be fighting another world war again with Germany and again against both the USA and Russia

Disturbance in Elisa's submarine cable connection in the Gulf of Finland. Detected sometime on Wednesday morning.

Russian Telegram channels report that the Estonian Navy tried to seize an oil tanker flying the flag of Gabon in the Baltic Sea en route to a Russian port. The crew refused to be boarded, and the standoff apparently ended when a Russian Su-35 fighter jet buzzed in. t.me/new_military...

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

US army fellow told us FIN reservists a nasty joke. The ghost of Gen. Patton comes to SHAPE and wakes SACEUR: "Are we still allied to Russkies like 1945 when I died?" "Oh yes" "Hell, didnt expect that to last. What are we doing with them?" "Trying to get Nazis back to power in Germany."

We have this triptyke of data: A ship from St Petersburg shows typical slowdowns over an area of cables to Gotland where SE coast guard is now active. A very candidate. But it does not rhyme at all with all statements about C-Lion and it is partly in Sweden proper (not only EEZ) Tnx anon follower

🇺🇦 Kiristyssidekeräys ystävänpäivän kunniaksi! Neuvotteluja ilman Ukrainaa, Lännen ailahteleva tuki, olemattomat turvatakuut, venäjä-kauppa... näin ei ystäviään saisi kohdella. Ystävät toimivat toisin, ystävät tukevat Ukrainan oikeutta puolustautua venäjän väkivaltaa vastaan.

Koala oil tanker is sinking at the Ust-Luga sea port, according to Russian Telegram channels. It is carrying 130 000 tons of mazut. The vessel is registered in Antigua and Barbuda. Reportedly, it was ready to leave port, when three explosions sounded in the engine room.

It's a crazy timeline we are living for sure www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

On request from Latvian authorities, Norwegian Police and Coast Guard has brought in the Norwegian flagged, and owned, merchant ship Silver Dania to Tromsø, on suspicion of damaging a fiber cable in the Baltic. The entire crew are Russian citizens. www.nrk.no/tromsogfinnm...

The manager of sabotage cable suspect VEZHEN has blamed ”hydrometerological” conditions for V losing her anchor and dragging it for approximately 300-400 km. The worst wind seen was 29 knots. Highest wave 2.6m. Generally much calmer.

"According to the Finnish Meteorological Institute, weather and sea conditions on the northeast side of the island of Gotland were quite normal or even better than normal at the time of the incident early Sunday morning."

Sweden's main prosecutor says they have seized a ship suspected of major sabotage of the communications line, and that the police, coast guard and armed forces are involved in the investigation. The ship VEZHEN is not named, but it is obviously her. www.aklagare.se/nyheter-pres...

New Baltic Sea cable break it seems. This time a Latvian state comms cable from Ventspils to Gotland. If anyone can find more facts such as time of disconnect it would be swell. @eldomador.bsky.social ?

As opposed to what the headline seems to claim, it does not in fact seem to be the case that any evidence for it being an accident has been uncovered either. A minority of the sources do claim Supo to believe that to be the case, which might or might not be true and/or relevant.

Finnish public broadcaster: "Chief Criminal Inspector Risto Lohi of the Finnish National Criminal Police, who is leading the criminal investigation, says that the preliminary investigation is ongoing and it is premature to draw conclusions."

Latest on the question of intentionality in the Eagle S cable breaking incident: Now also the Finnish authorities say that they have so far not found evidence of either intentionality (making it sabotage) or that Russia is involved. This is unsurprising as intention would be hard to prove

According to Helsingin Sanomat, the Finnish security and intelligence service Supo has informed the government and officials that they have not discovered any evidence that the Eagle S incident had any connection to Russia and they deem it to have been an accident.

The suspected breakdowns x3 by shadow tanker JAZZ last week were actually a cover for work or surveillance on sabotaged cable C-LION 1 or probing of NATO reactions. At least if we trust two Danish military analysts that have diven deep in her track together with

Chinese authorities have now boarded to inspect Yi Peng 3 and have invited Swedish police and representatives from Finland, Denmark and Germany as observers, who are "not to do anything active on board". Presumably the conclusion will be that everything is fine, no need for further investigation.

There is intense naval activity around suspected cable sabotage ship Yi Peng 3. 2 x RIBs in water, navy and coast guards vessels are maneuvering around YP3. 7 ships total. Besides known units during night A516+A512 (DE) arrived: ship roles are carrying fuel/supplies/ammo and act as command posts.

The Swedish PM has stated he want the chinese vessel Yi Peng 3 to move towards Swedish waters "for easier cooperation to find out what has happened" referring to the undersea cables that were cut in the Baltic. www.gp.se/nyheter/sver...

Yi Peng 3 situation as of 24-11-23 06:20U Yi Peng 3 is stationary since >3 days. Previously guarded by small lightly armed patrol boats. Since night passed by two larger ships (DE +DK), properly armed. SE coast guard possible en route.

"Unprecedented" "...a fully operational and certified warship presence close to the scene and react quickly, if necessary." "...likely Merkuriy has been tasked to maintain a Russian military presence close to where Chinese Bulk Carrier Yi Peng 3 is anchored..." Right between Denmark & Sweden.

Germany is now the only weak link in what could be a serious new paradigm in western security. “The Biden administration has authorised the use of Britain's long-range Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russian territory”

YI PENG 3 crossed the straits unhindered, she's still being trailed by Danish Patrol vessel P525. Finnish NBI just starting it's investigation and waiting coffee maybe. Danes are trailing closely. Maybe next year with another set of cables someone is willing to act too?

The German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius believes that the cables in the Baltic sea were cut in an act of sabotage, according to Finnish news (IL).

Cargo ship Yin Feng 3 (CN), a close to perfect match for both Baltic cable incidents, has gotten herself a Danish frigate all up in her grill. And once again, it is @garygnutter.bsky.social at the helm of the investigation. (Famous from NewNew Polarbear case)

An US official has said to CNN that any damage to undersea infrastructure by Russia would be "significant escalation" and "could lead to unintented escalation". The official adds that the US would be "especially concerned" about damage to allies' critical undersea infra. Whatever that means.
