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…

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
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
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

#Russian Navy seabed warfare exposed. If you are in Nordic countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden or Finland watch ‘ShadowWar’ tonight. 3 part series, lots of new info on GUGI etc
Bayonet underwater drone (UUV) with tracks can crawl out of the sea. Quite a useful capability…
A few other tracked submarines /UUVs to briefly mentions.
Firstly, in World War Two German engineers built a tracked midget sub. The idea was to launch /recover itself from a slipway rather than drive along the bottom of the seabed
During the Cold War, the #USNavy had the NR-1 spy sub which could drive along the bottom. Wheels not tracks though.
First clear Sentinel 2 satellite images of #Russian Navy submarine bases in Arctic today since oct last year due to arctic winter. #OSINT
Admiral Kuznetsov, aircraft carrier still in dry dock:
2/4 Olenya Guba, the infamous secret base of #Russia's GUGI seabed warfare fleet including Yantar
Is Yantar at sea?
First pass:
3/4
Identifying warships and submarines is difficult in this low resolution imagery, and the 'snow blindness' and cloud doesn't help. But the giant KIROV class battlecruiser Peter the Great stands out easily in Severomorsk
