*of interest*

2 suspected #Chinese powerboats, similar to super ‘go-fasts’ used by drug smugglers in Spain, seen 0950-1100 May 19 lurking at Nan'aokou, Taiwan. The crew on the boat are wearing hoods, no fishing behavior. Might be maritime militia? Might be smugglers #OSINT ImageImageImageImage

My first thought is car smuggling, which used to be a thing in #China. But is it still relevant?

***UPDATE***

The #Russian Navy landing ships which have been concentrated at Novorossiysk on the Black Sea, are out of port today.

#OSINT Russian Navy in Black Sea
Contrast with this satellite image of the same port recently navalnews.com/naval-news/202…
Same picture with Sentinel 1 radar (SAR) imagery.. compare May 11 and 15.

Note. These ships have come and gone together before. Them leaving is interesting OSINT, but interpretation needs more sources

***BREAKING***

Credible drone imagery shows #Ukrainian forces hitting two #Russian Navy Russian Navy Raptor (or BK-16/18 assault boats - all like Swedish CB-90).

Possibly linked, two of these were seen heading towards Snake Island / Ukraine on April 27. Might be same pair

***THREAD** on #Moskva sinking parade

This is an emotive topic and layers of misinformation, both organized and casual (from both sides) has eroded people's confidence in any official Russian statements. We must not let emotion or agenda cloud our analysis. Moskva ship sinking parade
Here is the parade
I estimate the number of personnel there as ~240. See hisutton.com/Moskva-Cruiser…

***NEW ANALYSIS*** (Updated) - > hisutton.com/Moskva-Cruiser…

Unpicking the reported parade of #Russian cruiser #Moskva's crew. Sobering watching

A) Captain alive
B) ~240 crew in video, so around 50% dead or injured Cruiser Moskva Crew counted
2nd pass analysis, caveats apply. I do not think it's old footage but willing to be proven wrong with the passing of time
Re weather, satellite image of the parade ground from 08:47 UTC today (11:47 local time)

Photos emerge as Russians get to see inside #RomanAbramovich mega-yacht Nord which has run to Vladivostok

Thread detailing the various toys we see. Incredible

Not sure of original source, but shared on a Russian social media account (thanks!)

Context hisutton.com/Russian-Oligar… mega yacht Nord
First up. Hovercraft. Because

British made Griffon 995 type hovercraft
Submersible.

Not obvious from the photo, but if you look carefully it's the front of a acrylic bubble, which is where the occupants sit.

Also appears to have manipulator arms

It's a Dutch made U-Boat Worx design. It's covered so hard to ID exact model. Submarine on super yacht
