Now we have official information with time, path etc. from Estonian Def.forces:

estonianworld.com/security/est...

Does not coincide with initial note about VAINDLOO island nor exit near Naissaari.

But source is quite credible..

USS Bainbridge departed Helsinki THU 18th, 16:20FIN => 13:20UTC so little late.

But I'm fairly sure ship could be linked to incursion, which occured 50km south, ~14-18 hours later.

RUS Incursion into Estonia.
Data on ground tracks is not public. Also length of 12minutes could be approximate. But let's assume:
Here are possible ground tracks for various nominal cruising speeds. I would say 300-350kts is likely.

It's not small, nor a mistake. Articl.4 is warranted.

At least license plate matches to Kalingrad region:

Codes 39 and 91 for Kalingrad

Some non-original thoughts on russian "special drone operation", was it military or political or both?

Here are RNAV and ILS approaches to RWY 30 of LBPD laid over track. Odd turn occured North of airport. GPS did not report inaccuracy.

Later he went for ILS approach and/or more likely by directions from tower using VOR radials.

Aren't they are creating the boulder on the wrong side... It's on the russian side of the ditch -> Easy to push back.. Also walls are really shallow.
Any pioneers here to comment ? 😕

They could ceremoniously handover One unit for each incursion occuring to the Rus ambassador. Have a press and all...

First part up-to 1396 was landborder from S to N. Latter part was sea border

Those are ETRS-TM35 coordinates. Same as ETRS-TM35FIN. UTM35 strip is accurate on eastern side of FIN, for UTM35FIN it is stretched to be common system for whole Finland.

Ok, found the old Russian-Finnish border definition from 1966 www.finlex.fi/fi/valtiosop... And line matches current EEZ also on FI-RU portition.

So this NAVWARN was no issue.
May 19, 2025 at 11:47 AM
EEZ / Int.waters was formed between FIN-EST Treaty on 1996.

I have not found definition of FIN-RUS border pre-1996, if RUS also moved terr-waters, or was it only FIN (Anyone knows?)

In which case current NAVWARN would be serious trolling and attempt to move border.

Is it normal to call EEZ border as common state border on issued NAVTEXT?
Interestingly this is the case for RU NAVWARN 107/25 for FIN border. COMMON state border is mentioned, but nearest common point is FAR from last stated coordinates.

Also should remember RU "borders checking" plan 2024

Here are some event timelines from JAGUAR (MMSI 626313000) incident with Estonians.
Clearly JAGUAR did not comply with course change.
Hornets have been active over the bay area next morning.
Supersonic scramble was later than other operational flights spotted over Kotka.

Looks correct

Lets just tell them to wait until we are ready, Problem solved, just ask nicely!

Have to say not feeling urgency in Finnish planning either. Many big orders are waiting to be placed. Too little too late like pre-1939?

Patrushev babbling in Natsionalnaja oborona (defence magazine) about Finnish stance and blaming NATO/West on damage to undersea infra. Claiming West accelerating actions to damage russian infra.

Both NN PolarBear and Eagle S damaged also kalingrad cable. But not mentioned in article? Soon to come?

Here is crude closeup for track of GT PIKE
IMO: 9373278
MMSI: 305814000

There are usual signals of anchor drag:
- Slowdown of 2knots
- Stop for raising anchor ( usually 30 minutes, here 15 )

4 cables would have been affected if there was a drag..
She is also a lot smaller than previous draggers
