HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Duncan in today's color imaging as well. The Duncan appears to be operating with a couple other vessels about 80-100 meters in length. Probably Norwegian coast guard but I don't have anything to cross-reference so can't say for sure.

USAF movements to and from the Gulf continue. Today's activity was particularly interesting, with several tanker aircraft operating from Larissa Air Base in Greece and, most likely, a number of F-15s using NAS Sigonella as a transit stop. www.itamilradar.com/2026/07/02/u...

My take on the top notes of the Defence Investment Plan and, in particular, the Hybrid Navy. BLUF: it all sounds pretty great but there isn't enough money, the timeline is too long, and we still aren't having the hard conversations. www.fpri.org/article/2026...

I see a bit of a problem with this expensive russian EW system (third, atleast, destroyed)

This is good, and a better way to put it then my "four simultaneous Normandys followed by two simultaneous Stalingrads" way of capturing the difficulty of a Taiwan invasion.

HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Duncan above the arctic circle. I had lost track of them since I'd kept using the whole trio as my search image for looking at radar pictures but apparently their accompanying oiler had ducked down to Bergen for a few days.

They do address the issue of only a proportion of sightings being actually military UAV overflights though, and they do mention that some of the Danish sightings remain unconclusive. See e.g. their discussion on p.7, of which this is one portion:

Yeah, but i guess the question is whether the fall 2025 numbers are #hybridwarfare or #dronepanic (or both). Just saying that 'UAV sightings' and 'aerial observations' are not necessarily the same 🤷‍♂️

Interesting vessel #Vezhen bsky.app/profile/vess...

⚓ Interesting to see an old acquaintance listed here, the VEZHEN - which was the 4th vessel to completely accidentally drop and drag its anchor over Baltic Sea subsea cables on 26/2/2025 and which also accidentally filmed its accidental dropping of the anchor, so the Swedish prosecutors had no case.

Unfortunately #IISS report seems to believe most #UAV sightings are real and not false #airobservations ....

‼️ Lots of interesting graphs and tables in this new IISS report on the drone overflights 'campaign' in Europe. The analysts have for instance attempted to match incidents with the paths of various shadow fleet vessels - see examples ⬇️ 🔗 www.iiss.org/research-pap...

In this report quite a bit of mentioning of the danish drone-saga and #Russia #Shadowfleet @pa.nton.cx @kaa.re @pmolpmol.bsky.social @auonsson.bsky.social

⚡️⚓️ A new IISS report “assesses it is highly likely that the 🇷🇺 Kremlin conducted a UAV campaign over Europe. We assess it is likely that Russian-linked vessels and the ‘shadow fleet’ were used as launch/recovery platforms for UAVs as part of the Kremlin’s wider unconventional war on Europe.”

Regulators across Canada and the U.S. have moved to crack down on crypto ATMs for their alleged role in facilitating fraud. But name-brand cryptocurrency companies, which supply the bitcoin that keeps the machines running, are still flying under the radar.

Drones flown over military bases in Britain were likely launched from a Russian shadow fleet tanker docked in the UK, according to experts who believe they have solved a two-year mystery www.thetimes.com/article/fc8e...

As we report today, the Air Corps closely shadowed an Aughinish/Russian linked ship as it took an unusual course off Dublin during the Zelensky visit. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026... @puca.bsky.social has a timelapse showing just how closely it was being watched www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oOQ...

The Kremlin's current energy policy has resulted in an ironic economic loop. Due to Western sanctions, russia exports discounted crude oil to India, absorbing significant financial losses compared to pre-war global market rates. 🧵 1/
