🔺Baltic Sea activity - Breaking!
A Russian Navy Northern Fleet Pr.1155 Udaloy class destroyer, likely BPK-619 “Severomorsk”, VISID entered the Baltic Sea, 10 December 2025.
⚠️Unit joins BPK-626 "Vice Admiral Kulakov" as a SECOND NORFLT ASW asset to operate in the Baltic. POSS EX activity inbound.
Severomorsk might be coming to replace Kulakov, to increase the presence in the Baltic, or perhaps a combination of both, having two Udaloy's there for a period before one returns to the north.
The Northern Fleet reinforcing the Baltic is slowly becoming the new normal.
When I started making YouTube videos, I did not imagine that I would one day make one with this title. Watch here for my breakdown of the new U.S. National Security Strategy.

You can transport oil with vessel draft being less than 11m.

You can pass #TheSound #Øresund with 8m so minor tankers can pass that way.

The new US #NationalSecurityStrategy is so alarming that I spent hours today on this piece, rather than my real work.
We the Europeans, and especially the #NB8 countries in #NATO 's Eastern Flank, MUST prepare to defend our #democracy and deter #Russia by ourselves.

I may be overdoing it with the optimism, but I think it’s good to have if black on white. Makes it easier for (or forces) European politicians to adjust.
Also, the policy spelled out in the strategy to interfere in European affairs for the benefit of the far right hopefully backfires.
Still might mean a considerable source of funding for the European far-right, as the State Dept pivots its operations, in addition to whatever the Russians and the US oligarchs provide.
