Defense: Navy Inspector Warns: Russia "Aggressive at Sea"
The German Navy has significantly improved its situation picture in the Baltic Sea according to its own information: Anomalies are now detected much more quickly. The focus is on Russia and Russian activities.
German Navy Inspector Jan Christian Kaack has stated that Russia poses a consistently high threat, particularly in the Baltic Sea. He described Russia's naval activities as aggressive, including spying on bases and units, intimidation and sabotage attempts, drone overflights, and the use of a shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea. The shadow fleet, which includes tankers and cargo ships used to evade sanctions on oil exports, is now also protected by Russian naval vessels or armed teams on board. This task is an additional burden on the Russian Navy, which has limited resources.
