📡 🏹 🐙 Anticipation, investigation et action contre les nouvelles menaces. #OSINT
We foresee, investigate and take action against new threats.

Partenaires : @debunkcafe.fr ; Le Phare (Telegram)
According to the regional agreement of the Paris Memorandum of Understanding (Paris MoU), vessels flying the Cameroonian flag 🇨🇲 are classified as the highest-risk.

Thx @maikmarahrens.bsky.social for the initial report 💪

Yesterday on VesselFinder, the vessel disappeared from tracking after circling in the water.

We then found her again on another maritime-tracking platform: MarineTraffic.

Same name, same IMO but a new flag and a new MMSI.

Spotted too, we might have some reasons to explain that change. Keep you posted!
November 27, 2025 at 1:43 PM
The message is clear now. Let's hope it will encourage some action on the other ones. Far too many sail in European waters.

6️⃣ AQUA TITAN 🇨🇲 - IMO 9332781

This one's a keeper: well knowned in 🇷🇺 Baltic ports, she frequently switches flag mid-route as she pleases.
On October 11, went from 🇰🇲 (false) to 🇬🇲 (false) south of Suez. Currently 🇨🇲.
November 24, 2025 at 8:26 PM
5️⃣ WHITE CONDOR I 🇦🇼 - IMO 9255244

3️⃣ RUNA 🇧🇯 - IMO 9314882

2️⃣ DUOS (ex-FOTUO) 🇨🇲 - IMO 9293959

Sailing from Murmansk, north of 🇬🇧, the Yantar is not the only lying SoB in the place. DUOS, former FOTUO, has been reported by Benin 🇧🇯 for illegally using its flag.

1️⃣ DUSK 🇬🇲 - IMO 9283289
WANTED FOR: GAMBIA flag usurpation

The furthest one is still off Dutch coasts. Sanctioned by 🇬🇧🇪🇺. Currently carrying fresh oil from Primorsk 🇷🇺.

Support for the British for their firm stance 💪
Let's follow their example and not give in to Russia's relentless aggression.

If the Yantar sails further south, Putin risks getting caught out big time 🐰

The message from Defence Secretary John Healey to Putin sums it all up:
‘We see you. We know what you are doing. [...] We are ready.’
Ships and aircraft from the Royal Navy
and Royal Air Force are keeping a close watch on the Yantar.

Pointing a laser at a cockpit is not an incident, it is a hostile act!
This is yet another irresponsible military provocation by Russia.
In response, UK's response is exemplary. Standing up to the Kremlin requires firmness.

Please note: the north of the islands 🇬🇧 is the new favourite route for our Russian friends and their ghost fleet.
This allows them to avoid the English Channel and, by a ‘happy’ coincidence, it is also one of the areas with the highest concentration of submarine cables 🙃.
November 20, 2025 at 3:13 PM
The Yantar is not an insignificant vessel. Officially a scientific ship, she is a hybrid intelligence and warfare vessel that Russia is sending to Europe.
She has a reputation for mapping and even cutting our submarine cables. This isn't the first time she's been in this area.

Merci du partage ! 🐙

The ghost fleet is not just a logistical trick to sell oil under sanctions.
It is a complete predatory system designed to feed the Russian war economy while waging a hybrid war against Europe from the sea. A 3-in-1.

Let's hunt them all down🐙
