***UPDATE***

Thread

Slowly information is coming out about the #Russian Navy ships operating around #NordStream before the attacks. E.g. dr.dk/nyheder/senest…

The presence of SS-750 with a DSRV submersible is **highly suspicious**

Danish/Swedish/Norwegian and Finnish investigative journalists have been researching this for months, unearthed a lot of as-yet unpublished info.

Highly recommend the Shadow Wars tv documentaries airing right now, seek these out.
Example (chrome can translate subtitles)
3.

Caveat, I play a small part in those documentaries.

But that’s not why I am promoting them, they really are worth watching for hybrid warfare, espionage and seabed warfare etc

Next episode surely will be Nord Stream. Expect new info

Chair too comfy… Muppet
4.
The ‘submarine rescue ship’ SS-750 and its DSRV (deep submergence rescue vessel) are ideal for seabed warfare operations. It’s basically a crewed submersible with manipulator arms.

ROVs. /UUVs (underwater robots) also may have played a role Priz
5.
Yes the Priz is brightly painted, but still ideal for covert missions

As demonstrated by how it’s taken over 6 months for this info to get attention

Fortunately quality journalists + elite OSINT people have been on this Image
6.
Nod to @OAlexanderDK and I am sure others who, independently, has been zeroing in on the same info re suspicious Russian Navy activity
7.
Hopefully the people who were so willing to believe earlier conspiracy theories will reflect on these revelations.

I suspect not.

What elaborate excuses will be made to explain the Russian activity?
8.

So in short, these latest revelations are important.

Arguing that Russia was not directly involved in the Nord Stream attacks will now have to build highly silly explanations

Or said another way, it is **Highly likely** that Russia did it

Thread 🧵

**NAVY DECOY SHIPS AND DECEPTION**

Always an interesting topic, we all know about inflatable fake tanks, but it can happen with ships too.

Firstly, fake ships before D-Day:
Image
Image
During WW2 the royal Navy converted some fleet tenders to resemble battleships and a carrier, with the idea being to deceive German Luftwaffe reconnaissance flights.
Before/ after (might be exact same ship, but you get the idea)

The old battleship HMS Centurion was also remodeled to appear as the newer ship HMS
Anson

Before, after:

Short thread 🧵 from

Prelude: June 30 Russia withdraws from Snake Island. The island is strategically located near Ukrainian coast and shipping lanes

#OSINT hisutton.com/Timeline-2022-…

Snake island had been subject to air strikes but Ukraine had also started using MLRS from barges at sea and it was in range of new 155mm artillery being delivered by West, especially the French Caesar system


Image

In July 2022, faced with threat of Ukraine’s Neptune anti-ship missiles, and western supplies Harpoons (notably Denmark), Russian navy largely withdraw from western side of northern Black Sea. This is a significant change in the balance.

I don't normally post about aircraft, but here are 5 awesome and usual loadouts from the Cold War which really interest me from a design perspective.

In descending order of awesomeness

5. A-5 Vigilante US Navy bomber with nuclear bomb up backside

4. English Electric Lightning. Awesome fighter, could carry ferry tanks in the overwing position. Hard to find photos of this, but it could also carry twin SNEB rocket pods above each with, with fuel tanks behind them (!).
Image
Image
3. Ilyushin Il-102, which lost out to the now-famous Su-25 FROGFOOT. Aside from rad lines and rear-facing aft cockpit, check out the tail gun!

**BREAKING**
Thread 🧵

#Ukrainian strike on #Russian Navy base at Sevastopol in Crimea appears to have damaged, possibly seriously (TBC), the submarine support ship Kommuna (ref ) hisutton.com/Russian-Navy-K…
Kommuna, ship cutaway
Video
Kommuna gets a degree of sympathy because she is an ancient and beautiful ship, 112 years old(!).

But objectively she is a legitimate target and provides Russian navy with valuable capabilities. She often participates in submarine trials and can conduct seabed warfare Image
