Hybridkrigen er kommet til Danmark. Jeg har skrevet en analyse om de seneste såkaldte 'hybride hændelser' i denne måneds nyhedsbrev.

Endnu engang tak til @pa.nton.cx for at hjælpe med lidt spændende data.

Er droneangrebet kun begyndelsen?

Ovenpå mandagens ‘hybride hændelse’, som PET kalder den, står der ét stort spørgsmål tilbage: Hvordan kan to til tre store droner med et kraftigt grønt lys unde

By the way, the completely new and modern vessel which experienced the machine failure, Mechanic Stepanov, was built at a shipyard owned by Norebo Group. Norebo was recently sanctioned in Norway for using their fishing fleet for spying on NATO.

The Russian fishing vessel which experienced machine failure in Denmark this weekend crossed three different undersea cables while drifting. It stopped close to undersea gas infrastructure and close by Danish military intelligence hq and CPH Airport. Experts suspect spying.

Et topmoderne russiske fiskeskib meldte om maskinproblemer over tre undersøiske data- og kommunikationskabler tæt ved Amager. Skibet blev overvåget af NATO.

German police raided possible drone-spy-vessel Scanlark two days ago. The ship is suspected of having spied on German maritime infrastructure on the 26th of August. The same day Scanlark passed by a Danish naval base and The Great Belt Bridge before anchoring off Göteborg.

Good morning.

The escort continues for WALL (German Coastguard Bamberg escording.

F361 Iver Huitfeldt seems to be returning, while P520 Diana seems to have been positioned all night to pick up the escort for NIGHT GLORY.

Both false flagged vessels are currently in international waters.

First day back at work after summer vacation. But I already started slowly last week with this story which shows that there's been several eyewitness reports of uniformed Russians on board shadow fleet-vessels photographing and filming critical infrastructure in Danish straits. Read it here:

Danish (maritime) pilots have warned the Danish authorities, that the shadow fleet “carry extra crew in military fatigues, present on the bridge and are vey actively photographing (among other things, passage under bridges)”.

Today is going to get interesting! Will Russia succeed in scaring off the NB8-allies promised action of stopping stateless ships? Or will Sierra be the first vessel that Denmark stops?

Christian Panton @pa.nton.cx · Jun 21

The two tankers Sierra (IMO: 9522324) and Naxos (IMO: 9336426, AIS name "Selva") are sailing under false AIS flag (Malawi and Panama respectively).

Nearby in escort formation: Russian Corvette "Boikiy" likely behind the generic MMSI.

MARATHON has had another change of heart and is now heading north of the Shetland - she will soon be further north than when loading in Russia.

Shown here are the tracks of other tankers in the area this month. MARATHON is not following any of the normal routes.

Something has caused MARATHON to change course (my guess - the shock of NZ sanctions). Vessel is now heading northwest - unsure it that means she'll be going around the north of the UK, or even further north around the Norwegian coast. I'd be grateful for advice from the locals!

I don't know, but a guess would be she's just going to sail around the UK and then continue towards Sikka. Another option is Murmansk. Hard to say. Could be something completely different as well.

Denmark failed to stop the sanctioned, stateless shadow vessel Marathon, and now the ship is doing everything it can to avoid The English Channel. Something caused her to change course. I wonder if it was the message below.

Forinden det udtalte Søfartsstyrelsen til Danwatch:

- Hvad angår udenrigsministerens udtalelse, henvises der til Udenrigsministeriet.

JUST IN from European foreign ministers:

"We (...) have met today to address the challenge posed by the Russian shadow fleet."

"If vessels fail to fly a valid flag in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, we will take appropriate action within international law."
