German SIGINT vessel OSTE has entered Kattegat - the sea between Denmark and Sweden between the North Sea and the Baltic. Arriving from a stop in Hamburg. If they keep AIS on - or stay in radar coverage - will attempt to follow it and figure out what the Area of Interest is.

F803 Tromp (NL FFG) is already patrolling the Baltic - currently over Baltic Pipeline

More concerned if I see one called Trump near Greenland :-)

Russian FFG 532 Boikiy and SSK 265 Krasnodar passing Danish Great Belt Bridge 15 minutes ago, Heading South towards Baltysk and Sankt Petersburg (highly likely)

Russian FFGH 532 Boikiy is moving South in Kattegat along Route TANGO - with AIS on - but hiding as 'Undefeated'

Escorting SSK Novorossiysk - and followed by Danish patrol vessel P521 Freja.

The KILO class submarine Krasnodar and the FFGH 531 Soobrazitelny are returning south through the Great Belt, likely heading Sankt Petersburg & Baltysk. Appears RU decided not being able to sustain a SSK in the Med. Cause may be no harbour agreement with Haftar. Observed enroute by civ ships.

Sergey Balk, SB 123 and possibly a Kilo Class sub unable to decide where to go - has been moving N-S for a couple of days by now. Perhaps a sympathy demonstration supporting Sparta outside Tartus... SB 123 known for loitering close to the Nordstream sabotage location ahead of the explosion

Some sort of directional sense destroying virus must be spreading among Russian vessels - Serhey Balk - in Danish waters (Route T) - is copying the movement of Sparta outside Tartus

Sergey Balk - along with new friend SB 123 heading back North - after Sergey travelling South for most of the day. Is the Kilo Class following along ?

Sergey Balk and SB 123, possibly sent to assist Sergey Balk, will meet within 2 hours. SB 124 has been idle since Balk started moving afain this morning.

Thought your dazzle camo wad a bit picasdo inspired 😀

Sergey Balk continuing S at 6,4 kts, Tug/Rescue SB 123 has stopped some 50 NM south of Sergey Balk, likely waiting for it to arrive

Sergey Bulk finally moving again, heading SE towards the Great Belt - likely returning Baltysk. Will see if SB 123 turns around when they meet - and escort Sergey

Can you add clock face warping in the heat - like melting - on the side of the vessel ? 😀

A KILO Class + tug Sergey Balk passed N through the Great Belt (Denmark) 31 DEC - now Sergey Balk is loitering N of LÆSØ - could this - over time - be a replacement for Novorossiysk ?

Russian tug, Sergey Balk and an unidentified KILO class submarine passed N under the Great Belt Bridge 31. DEC 2024. Today, Sergey Balk is loitering N of the Danish island of LÆSØ - likely monitoring the submarine - depth is 35-37 meters in the area - rather shallow for a submarine

Sparta better make up its mind beforexa crowd of “Stop Oil” loonies head its way - producing CO2 for no gain.

Sparta is back on AIS, Destination changed to “on order” - and heading straight towards Tartus

Shoul arrive sometimes tomorrow before noon.

Intro to how to get into the Baltic Sea - for non-locals.

Wish to clear some misunderstandings, like how ships can jump across land (they use the Kiel Canal) :-)

So true - though easy to get carried away. Nearly mistook a Danpilot vessel heading for an intercept - truth was just peaceful transfer of pilot to assist navigating Danish waters.
