Russia is running GPS-jamming machines in St Petersburg and Kaliningrad, affecting aviation and sometimes shipping around Baltic Sea.
Some of my most appreciated work has been localizing these machines in time, space and volume.
Here's a rundown of previous geo-work, reversed chronological order.

Yes, there are exceptions in the Copenhagen convention regarding safety and environment
But we need not that, these ships with false flags are lawless. Any nations navy can stop them anywhere (incl intl waters) to further investigate their status.
The goal is open for Baltic States on these ships.

Next zombie tanker! CHARIOT TIDE is leaving Russia laden with profit.
She has no owner, a false flag, likely no insurance and at the last inspection in 2024 she was found with 12 deficiencies (cleared by RU).
According to intnl law any nations navy may stop her to minimally clear up flag status.

Rustbucket zombie-tanker ARCUSAT/TAVIAN/TIA will enter Baltics in ~3 days.
This will be her third fetch of Russian oil since October.
No flag, no state, no identity and no registry -> she is basically lawless.
Some would even argue states have obligations here.

Sweden has since refined the stealth properties of the Gotland-class submarines and a newer class is under construction.

It is extremely unlikely that a grouping of 6 cable breaks in a week are explained by common causes.
A lot of cables break each year, and any one might be from a benign cause. But not this many.

There is an estimated 1 in 10k - 100k years chance that all 8 of the Nov 2024 - Jan 2025 Baltic Sea cable breaks are coincidental.
Background data is hard to get by but no matter which real data or reasonable assumption one picks it is extremely unlikely all 8 of them are explained by chance.

Impressive fast work. By the time anyone even properly noticed (on New Year people aren't really following news), the ship was already detained in a Finnish harbour.
A number of images from the FITBURG operation have been released by the Police and FBG, including showing both fast-roping from a FBG H215 Super Puma and an FDF NH90 low over the deck.
