Some daunting outlooks, some inspiring insights, but overall hesitant optimism among all speakers @golovchenko.bsky.social @claravandeweerdt.bsky.social @keltonminor.bsky.social @robert-habeck.de at this exciting event.
@seagor.bsky.social (et al?) has just published two glorious methods to locate GPS/GNSS jammers using already active satellite constellations where data is open.
NASA CYGNSS, a micro-satellite constellation devised to detect hurricanes and NISAR, a global radar to track changes in nature.
This is happening at a particularly vulnerable time, as the global oil supply chain is under pressure - and the U.S. has even gone as far as pausing some sanctions.
Original article (in French):

I was interviewed for an article in France 24 about a sanctioned, Russian-flagged tanker that may or may not be on its way to Cuba.
In short, this could be Russia’s way of testing/poking at the U.S. in the “Western Hemisphere” (i.e. the U.S administrations self-percieved sphere of influence)
"The Prime Minister has agreed that the UK Armed Forces and law enforcement officers will now be able to interdict vessels that have been sanctioned by the UK and are transiting through UK waters." This could be an impactful move if followed by allies, especially 🇫🇷 & 🇧🇪

Interesting dive into China’s use of civilian research vessels for gathering data of military value. Another reminder for those of us focused on hybrid activity in Baltic Sea region that a lot of similar activity has been taking place around Asia for a very long time

I had a break from Russian news media for a while. Coming back feels like someone is trying to corrode my brain. The “Special Military Operation” continues.
