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.

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.

Russia has formally asked the United States to stop pursuing the fleeing oil tanker Bella 1. The vessel has tried to claim Russian protection while U.S. authorities say it’s effectively stateless and subject to boarding.-NYT

Updated map of cable breaks between Sweden and Estonia, based on press release from Estonian ministry for digital affairs.
The details are murky and partly incoherent and I have asked Swedish authorities for clarification.
Whats clear: there are several breaks on one cable.

What would winter holidays be without a ship from Russia damaging a comms cable? Huh!
Small cargo ship FITBURG (Russia to Israel) was helo-boarded by Finnish authorities after being found with anchor chain in water and suspected of damaging an Elisa-cable.

Baltic Fleet is getting a new missile carrier.
This takes total (naval) surface Kalibr cruise missile capacity to 40 barrels. Not counting submarine, land and air assets.
40 is more than totals fired during the largest attacks on Ukraine or the capacity in Black Sea in 2022*

Swedish agency MSB shifts focus from preparing for peace-time crisises to war preparedness.
Come 2026 the name changes to MCF, Swedish civil defence and resilience agency.
The agency will be headed by a general straight from the army, interviewed below

An unknown 160m long vessels was present at south mouth of Danish straits Dec 18. Area has seen ample NATO patrols last days.
There is a realistic possibility the un-identified ship is recent reinforcement and capability increase destroyer Severomorsk of Russian Northern Fleet.

Suggestions regarding Russian armed forces weapon transport ADLER, stuck inside Sweden.
Detain it for unseaworthiness, MARPOL or local environment laws breach. Search and find likely hundreds of breaches and then confiscate it. There's likely loads of goods not on manifest. I did this operation regularly in Australia, we don't let others dictate what we do in our own territorial waters

Here they will likely pick up more staff for whatever they plan.
