By Drones, Mines And Missiles - The British Naval War Against Russia In Ukraine
Those are five ships so far that have been sunk or damaged by limpet mines attached to the ships after they had  visited Russian ports. This is an intimidation campaign to deter ship owners and operators from servicing anything Russian.

I doubt that the Ukrainian military intelligence, the GRU under the terrorist General Budanov, has the network and divers needed to attack Russia related shipping throughout the Mediterranean. The Brits though, through their various commercial and military activities - ship classification societies, ship insurances, crewing agencies etc. - do have the necessary information and access to ports.

That is why I suspect them to be deeply involved in the current campaign.

More naval warfare will be coming as a new British sea-drone campaign is about to commence:

@EugeneMcParland Spot on and people don't see this, I know I can't expect everyone to see or be aware about it. But too much is afoot on a global scale. Putin and Russia need the North Sea, Baltic and Black Sea to strategically operate from a #Naval perspective and drill down further it is the way they get their subs in and out port for leave/repair. These areas are not just in the domain of conventional warfare, but of Misinformation.

2024NOV “Why the US can't stop the drone swarms flying over its military bases”

A month ago this excellent #Sandboxx presentation asked questions about drone incursions and in doing so answers a lot of questions you may ask now:

“For more than two weeks last December (2023) , swarms of #drones of varying sizes, flying at varying altitudes in well-orchestrated formations, violated the strictly controlled airspace over #Langley Air Force Base in #Virginia — sitting directly across the #Chesapeake Bay from Naval Station #Norfolk — the largest #Naval base on the planet.

This was far from an isolated incident... So why isn't the #USMilitary shooting these drones down? Let's figure it out.”

Norway critical of Danish ambitions of building #naval hulls in-country, as Norway had bad experiences with bespoke Nansen-cl frigates being both expensive and difficult to upgrade/maintain. However, what if the proposed Danish naval shipyard woul offer a new standard, as the Iver Huitfeldt-cl is already being adopted in the UK afaik? And what about being stranded without production of new hulls if more nations require ships at the same time, as we see with some systems now? Interesting times.

These #weapons, referred to as “#tactical,” are designed for #battlefield use & have smaller warheads than “strategic” #NuclearWeapons meant to target cities. #Russia’s DM said that #Putin had ordered an exercise for #missile, #aviation & #naval personnel to “increase the readiness of nonstrategic #nuclear forces to carry out #combat missions.”

The announcement of the exercise was Russia’s most explicit warning in its >2yr #invasion of #Ukraine that it could use tactical #NuclearWeapons there.
