I cannot stress enough how important it is that countries begin to enforce these long-standing laws of the sea. In the past few months we have seen multiple tankers wrecked and abandoned, threatening to cause environmental disasters.⬇️

A US-sanctioned tanker carrying a million barrels of Russian crude oil was supposed to reach Venezuela but following the pursuit of BELLA 1 (9230880) halfway across the Atlantic, the tanker turned away and showed up in Syria with her AIS offline.

Why AI generated images are going to damage quality defence reporting

AI slop is being used by ‘quality’ and ‘fanboy’ defence blogs and news websites as well as mainstream media. It’s terrible news!

Russia is intentionally targeting agricultural civilian ships coming in and out of Odesa Area Ports. These strikes are happening while ships are in transit and this is NOT collateral damage. This is an escalation in target choice by Russia. ⬇️

1. This wreckage is Ukraine's secretive Bars (Snow Leopard) cruise missile that was first mentioned by Minister of Strategic Industries, Herman Smetanin in April 2024. The pieces in this photo are not arranged correctly but still give an idea what it looks like.
