Every system is a sensor if you hold it right.

Russia is running GPS-jamming machines in St Petersburg and Kaliningrad, affecting aviation and sometimes shipping around Baltic Sea.

Some of my most appreciated work has been localizing these machines in time, space and volume.

Here's a rundown of previous geo-work, reversed chronological order.
A Norwegian home owner was tricked into installing highly advanced surveillance cameras pointed at Northern Europe's only LNG-plant, Melkøya.

The cameras have been running 24/7 and sent data to an Italian company now under investigatin. Cameras include advanced thermal sensors.

Danish authorities warn of a new GPS-jam area by Gedser Reef.

Area is home to one of the densest shipping choke points globally. Numerous large ships need not avoid only each other but several wind farms and a large reef.

Without GPS the risk of collision and environmental catastrophe increases.

Shadow tanker BARQ IMO 9321691 is about to enter Baltic Sea, passing a Swedish Coast Guard vessel, in about 2 hours.

She is the first shadow tanker to enter since the letter "closing Baltic Sea" was published 4 days ago.

Contrary to many missed opportunities this one is not immediately lawless.

One of the best accounts out there for these topics. Brilliantly communicated.
4 days ago Baltic States + UK wrote a letter interpreted as "Baltic Sea closing for shadow fleet".

No sanctioned tanker has arrived since (unusual*) but coming 24-36h the claim will get its first test with 5 sanctioned tankers inbound.

UK has acted against Russian freighter SINEGORSK on suspicions of cable sabotage.

Royal Navy chased her away after she anchored close to several cross-Atlantic communication cables.

🔺Baltic Sea activity - Breaking!

It is likely Russian Navy Baltic Fleet forces commenced ASuW/ASW exercise activity in the south/central Baltic Sea, 29 January 2026 (for next 1-7 days).

⚠️Exercise activity likely to feature regional, & realistic possibility of strategic, air support.

Head of MI6 signals change from data collection to war-time active measures against Russia.

What Russia does to the West MI6 will do back. And in the next breath mention WWII era SOE, whose mission was violent operations including sabotage and assassinations behind German lines.

Last 24h seven sanctioned tankers have left Baltic Sea. None has entered.

Too early for firm conclusions (lack data) but from last weeks replay and memory this might be highly unusual.

Replays from marinetraffic.com

@pa.nton.cx run some queries?

US is launching investment funds for kids, named TrumpAccounts. Seems each kid will get $1000 at birth and can use it at 18 for 'qualified expenses". Seems someone else ™️ controls it til then.

Acc to site if you actively participate and add $250/y it will affect the outcome negatively.

Baltic Sea coastal states + UK released an open letter damning Russia's GPS-jamming and clarifying that normal rules for shipping also applies to the shadow fleet.

Interpreted* as "Baltic Sea closes for shadow fleet".

Cautiously optimistic I note ~60 sanctioned tanker active.

Fel. Lagen tvingar de sajter som satts upp på en lista att ID-kontrollera _samtliga_ användare. Vilket innebär ett förbud mot anonymitet, samt en kännbar kostnad för mindre, ickekommersiella forum.

Och hur blir det med Wikipedia? Seriös fråga i sammanhanget.
Fortfarande oklart om brittiska Online Safety Act 2023 omfattar Wikipedia, till exempel.

Over on the crypto-fascist site several ”journalists” have infiltrated activist Signal-groups and the streets.

They are basically framing Minneapolis in general as ”domestic terrorist cell” and doxing lots of people.

Good chance the link describes the same, but in a very different light.
"The growing decentralized resistances in Minneapolis(. . .)have built up their own direct connections and sources that have formed interconnecting information-sharing networks outside of these highly controlled, authoritarian-adjacent news media institutions."

Dozens of shadow fleet tankers have traversed the English Channel since promises of tougher stance.

Danish Straits see about the same numbers.

BBC is not clear on if they mean flagless or flagged tankers, but either way there are lots.

Pic related, sanctioned tankers this minute.
