There is a new surveillance aircraft operating in Baltics.

N144FF / A54ED7 of Cae Aviation is watching Kaliningrad and east Russia / Belarus since the start of the month.

Missions over the last months: France, Israel/Lebanon, Med. See next post.
According to their web a global defence contractor who in their own words:

"When the call for action comes, we are here to support your critical missions"

CAE seem quite focused on training. New crews for coming SAAB Erieye-deliveries? Live action b/c tired air forces?
The airplane used to be owned by Swedish defence company SAAB and planespotters list it as being in a "Maritime Surveillance" configuration.

Follow along yourself on this link, which is also where I got the tracks: globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=a54ed7&l…Image
It seems to be operating under French Air Force. Odd to be doing military business in a plane that at least on public tracker look both private and from another country.

@pmolpmol lists three ships interesting as suspected drone carriers in last night attack on Copenhagen Airport.

In this thread, I will argue that Russian ship ASTROL 1 is an excellent fit.

Right time, right type, erratic track just before attack, highly suspicious background. Image
Article that led me down this rabbit hole, by @pmolpmol nyheder.tv2.dk/live/krimi/202…
ASTROL 1 is a largely flat cargo ship with hatches that likely would serve well as drone pads.

She is a similar model to SCANLARK, recently apprehended by German authorities on drone suspicions and to PORT OLYA 4, drone import ship on Iran trade. Sunk by Ukraine. Image

A Russian brand new fishing boat is almost blocking Öresund strait.

They seemingly lost propulsion 4 hours ago, drifted north towards the very narrow channels (~300m) but seem to have anchored.

Swedish coast guard and police have been at scene.

AIS-caveats apply.

They seemingly lost propulsion 4 hours ago, drifted north towards the very narrow channels (~300m) but seem to have anchored.

Swedish coast guard and police have been at scene.

AIS-caveats apply. Zoom in.
Fishing boat in question is built this year 2025. Left St Petersburg about 3 days ago.

I thought I had found indications of a targeted GNSS jamming attack against president von der Leyen's aircraft this Sunday.

Then I disproved my own hypothesis. Here's how!

This is common for me, I usually don't show it because it takes a lot of effort to explain also 0-results
Hypothesis: if vdLeyen-flight was jammed by a directional jammer other aircraft in the emission cone would also be affected

I got the idea upon looking at an animation by @lemonodor

Marked flight began reporting bad GPS-values just as the pilot of vdL reported issues over radio Image
Animation I refer to available at this link: bsky.app/profile/lemono…

Swedish island Gotland is completely without power, for the second time in two weeks.

Gotland is considered paramount to NATO control of Baltic Sea.

As far as I know last outage is still being analyzed and cause is not known.

Power company now claims lightning strike as cause.

Article linked was updated.
