I have identified 28 bots targeting intel/mil/geopol/logistics/energy people. They reply, follow and quote and are most often very enthusiastic.

End game is unknown, but a guess is recruitment or information gathering. Maybe just influence.

Anyway, here they are, in network shape.Image
Some of the texts the excited intel-bots produce and post to other users.

Will eventually be released in a more sane format.
In this thread I started collecting the excited intel-bots. Lots of examples of what they post and how I differentiate them.
One of the intel bots in the network, trying to slide into the DM's of @stevehouf, a business researcher with @business and with several connections to academia.

Wonder if they continued in DM. Did you @stevehouf ? Image
This is much meta. An excited intel-bot warning @chrismartenson of PeakProsperity to not fall for phishing. Image
Another excited intel-bot, airing his worries about email privacy to @cyb_detective

Note the enthusiasm in the reply, typical for this breed of bots. Image
@NOELreports is popular target of the intel bot network, especially one of them is a keen poster to them.

In this case it is military commentary, mostly in strong favour of Ukraine. Image
Image
”who knows, you might have a senior NATO-officer on the hook a few sentences later!”

This is just a first thread.

Much more analysis and anecdotes to come.
Since summarizing the accounts of the excited intel bots 2 days ago a 1/4 has closed. Most had been active since early August.

Ie, they might know I am on to them. Thats right, hide mfers.
The excited intel bots are trying to hide, but I found a way of finding them in hiding. And I have already found 100's more.
Some activity from last hours, excited intel bots appreciating some racist DOD merch and engaging analyis of both old maps and Tory's future. 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.

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.
Last hours lightning around Gotland. Image

Pilot of the aircraft carrying president von der Leyen experienced GPS issues as they approached Plovdiv airport, Bulgaria Sun Aug 31.

Recordings of tower and plane comms are clear.

Transponder reported good GPS-signal and is likely separate from the instrument pilots used.
Half an hour after first reporting GPS-issues the aircraft of von der Leyen is taxiing on Plovdiv airport as the pilot repeats "we had GPS-issues" and thanks the flight controller for the support.

Full recordings with additional comms available at liveatc.net
From this we can derive that the pilot did *experience* GPS/GNSS-issues.

Given the area and years of jamming it is likely to have been caused by the common jamming of area.

Other explanations are possible.

The plane carrying EU top Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land manually after being hit by GPS/GNSS jamming.

News texts seem to indicate it was directed specifically at Von der Leyen and the airport Plovdiv.

"GPS around airport was knocked out for an hour."
