We're taken Pax Americana for granted. No one but a few pirates have tried to create chaos on the seas in the past decades because they've known that the USA, UK and France's blue-water navies will stop them. The West is the enforcers of the rules-based world order. Now that Russia is seeking to create chaos on the seas throug hybrid warfare we need to adapt to it. I personally think Denmark should refuse any Russian ship without proper insurance to enter their waters. Start put pressure on Russia to follow the rules or face the consequences. BTW I recommend "What is Going on With Shipping?" here on youtube for daily updates on maritime issues from an academic in the field.
There is no law to be enforced, they have the right to sail by, be it a spy ship, a nuclear sub or anything else. Russian spy ships often sail by the French nuclear subs’ base and missile testing sites, and you can’t do anything about it, they are in their rights following international law. All you can do is send a warship to sail along it.
Wouldn't say hush-hush, like they don't give out a report because they are not sure. Dunno about your country, maybe your media just didn't see it as a "important" news thus not selling enough to print without having to twist it into something it was or wasn't. Its normal that the Kremlin keeps doing things like this, wasn't long ago that they tried to build a military grade small boat harbor in the archipelago. Like we all know it was the Russian's telling Estonia that they don't like it when Finland said "Remember, we will defend them by joining NATO". We Uralic people have been fighting the Muscovian Slavs for a long long long long time already, last time you in the west decided to support the Kremlin against us so this will continue until you understand that the Kremlin has to go. Make Russia small again -> Muscovia(only cure to their madness that has gone on for 500+ years). Then here in Finland we are used to the fact that our military needs to keep some stuff secret because our neighbor is listening and if they even thought they had a chance they would come. So everything is not for the public to know because of safety reasons. Don't get paranoid when military information is not shared, the reason why its not shared is because they are protecting you and a working military has people checking then sharing the information if needed or not endangering the citizens. I assume we have just more trust in the military because we are all part of it and have been there, done that.

And to date absolutely no evidence of such claims and besides why would the Ukrainians want to blow up these pipelines when they can easily shot off pipelines of Russian gas running through Ukraine Plus doing such acts off a small boat that supposedly been found is highly unlikely considering the diving equipment needed But funnily enough it's been widely known the Russians have been sniffing around the area right around the time and they have the equipment to do the job plus Russia has more motives to do it than the Ukrainians Don't forget Russia was on the hook for serious penalties for breach of contracts when Russia cut gas supply and considering the EU was cutting down Russian has supplies I let you figure it out

Germans have not learnt the lessons of the playing with the Bear. They did that during the intervening period between WWII and WWI and were more than unusually trading with the Russians until the events of 2022. So it is interesting that they suddenly have designated the bear as a threat.
The fact that you're still referring to Russia as the all mighty and mostly mythical bear (that saved Europe from Napoleon and German Fascism) is an indication that you're parroting Kremlin propaganda, revisionist history, and claims/misinformation with no basis in fact. History will show that Moscow miscalculated (as it did by invading Afghanistan and Chechnya) and underestimated Kyiv. It blundered and united the West by invading Ukraine with the vague and unrealistic goal of toppling Zelenskyy and "de-Nazifying" the government to stop the expansion of NATO and the genocide of Russian-speaking Ukrainians. The German-led EU (along with the US-led NATO/G7) are the true "bears" that Putin poked and picked a fight with. The EU is a cultural, economic, and military superpower that is richer, stronger, and more populous than a Russian. Other than nuclear saber rattling, online trolling, election interference, and the nearly constant idle threat of using WMDs against London, the Russian bear has been in a state of near hibernation since the end of the Cold War. Neither Putin nor his successors can stop former Soviet Republics, Kremlin-aligned partners, or Warsaw Pact countries from moving toward the democratic and prosperous West, and away from the highly corrupt Russian oligarchy and mafia state. The dictatorships of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have done more to make the American-led geopolitical hegemony, NATO membership, and mutual-defense treaties with the West more relevant than ever.
The irony of all is they don't dare complain not to talk confrontation,or revenge towards their so called allied,if this is what allies do it's better to be neutral
If we're talking about Nord Stream, Thus Spake Wikipedia: "In August 2024 media reported that in June German authorities issued a European arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national suspected of having used the yacht 'Andromeda' together with two others to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline. The suspect fled to Ukraine in a car belonging to the Ukrainian embassy in Poland." Best wishes from Vermont 🍁🧡🍁

You making spying out to be this evil action by Russia, but all countries do it, even yours.

What i find weird about whats said in the documentary is that they were able to decode the meaning of the morse codes even though you would think they had some kind of encryption on top of the morse codes. If they really wanted to obfuscate then they would not broadcast systematically at the hour nor in easily decrypted communication. For me it seems after watching the documentary that they do not care if people know, only that they might not want investigative journalist to produce contents. There is no way military intelligence does not have control of the position of the ships
The Russian Navy ships are sending international weather code using Morse. It contains the latitude and longitude of the vessel. They are using Ship Surface Observation code, FM 13-IX Ship. If they were using encryption for the weather then it would be the key to the decryption of the message. In the address group of the Morse message they send the callsigns for the Russian hydrographic stations. They have been doing this since Soviet times.
Maritime law enforcement seems like such an underdeveloped area of public policy, both internationally and domestically.
We're taken Pax Americana for granted. No one but a few pirates have tried to create chaos on the seas in the past decades because they've known that the USA, UK and France's blue-water navies will stop them.

Protected from NATO? I suggest you stop assuming that since 'we' would do it, Russia would. That's often incorrect. I also suggest you stop watching this propaganda. They aren't sharing information with you, they're manipulating you, twisting the narrative, and pushing naive people to be in fear.

Doesn't anyone remember it was Ukranians who destroyed the first gas lines?
And to date absolutely no evidence of such claims and besides why would the Ukrainians want to blow up these pipelines when they can easily shot off pipelines of Russian gas running through Ukraine
Plus doing such acts off a small boat that supposedly been found is highly unlikely considering the diving equipment needed
But funnily enough it's been widely known the Russians have been sniffing around the area right around the time and they have the equipment to do the job plus Russia has more motives to do it than the Ukrainians
Don't forget Russia was on the hook for serious penalties for breach of contracts when Russia cut gas supply and considering the EU was cutting down Russian has supplies I let you figure it out
Nothing new here. These ships have been out there doing exactly this for 50-60 years, if not longer.
Yes, that is right. Certainly since the 70's. However, now there is much more in terms of important seabed infrastructure.
Destroying gas pipelines?

The end seems a little alarmist though, the Baltic are the waters of the Russiam home fleet, of course they are active their, it dosent mean the activities are criminal in intent.
On which frequencies are the morse code weather reports sent?
Russian Navy Baltic fleet use seasonally assigned Morse frequencies. These frequencies go back to Soviet times. Sometimes they will use the main ship frequencies of 8345 Kilohertz CW and 12464 Kilohertz CW that will remain in use as regular frequencies as standard. Baltic Fleet use seasonal frequencies for Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Ship frequencies Spring 3199.5 CW, 6324 CW, 8622.5 CW. Summer 3594 CW, 6494.5 CW, 8784 CW. Autumn 3199.5 CW, 6324 CW, 8622.5 CW. Winter 3594 CW, 6494.5 CW, 8784 CW.
@@Tomteeejay Thank You for the information. I guess that they do not use a fixed time schedule for transmission
@@ErlingJensen-g4c No problem. They can transmit at any time but usually use 00, 03, 06, 09, 12, 15, 18, 21 UTC. Although they can use times inbetween. Usually just after the top of the hour. Sometimes they can go for long periods without sending Morse weather.
@@Tomteeejay OK I will try to pick it up
@@ErlingJensen-g4c No problem. It can be a very long wait to pick up interesting ships. Usually just tankers and tugs sending Morse weather.

Usually 12464 Kilohertz CW during 12 UTC and 8345 or 12464 Kilohertz CW during 18 UTC. Good listening!

''...completely unhindered''. This must be close to the line of treason.
Germans have not learnt the lessons of the playing with the Bear. They did that during the intervening period between WWII and WWI and were more than unusually trading with the Russians until the events of 2022. So it is interesting that they suddenly have designated the bear as a threat.
The fact that you're still referring to Russia as the all mighty and mostly mythical bear (that saved Europe from Napoleon and German Fascism) is an indication that you're parroting Kremlin propaganda, revisionist history, and claims/misinformation with no basis in fact.
History will show that Moscow miscalculated (as it did by invading Afghanistan and Chechnya) and underestimated Kyiv. It blundered and united the West by invading Ukraine with the vague and unrealistic goal of toppling Zelenskyy and "de-Nazifying" the government to stop the expansion of NATO and the genocide of Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
The German-led EU (along with the US-led NATO/G7) are the true "bears" that Putin poked and picked a fight with. The EU is a cultural, economic, and military superpower that is richer, stronger, and more populous than a Russian.
Other than nuclear saber rattling, online trolling, election interference, and the nearly constant idle threat of using WMDs against London, the Russian bear has been in a state of near hibernation since the end of the Cold War.
Neither Putin nor his successors can stop former Soviet Republics, Kremlin-aligned partners, or Warsaw Pact countries from moving toward the democratic and prosperous West, and away from the highly corrupt Russian oligarchy and mafia state.
The dictatorships of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have done more to make the American-led geopolitical hegemony, NATO membership, and mutual-defense treaties with the West more relevant than ever.
A ship with tons of radio frequencie going haywire around it in the middle of adversaries is like sending a poop in the surgical ward.
Move them off into international waters which the Baltic isn't. Drunks in charge of boats are not welcome.
Parts of the Baltic sea is international waters!

“Dw is not just a news station it has a secret mission” , every single video feels like propaganda!
If we're talking about Nord Stream, Thus Spake Wikipedia:
"In August 2024 media reported that in June German authorities issued a European arrest warrant for a Ukrainian national suspected of having used the yacht 'Andromeda' together with two others to sabotage the Nord Stream pipeline. The suspect fled to Ukraine in a car belonging to the Ukrainian embassy in Poland."

What about Biden's ship?
What i find weird about whats said in the documentary is that they were able to decode the meaning of the morse codes even though you would think they had some kind of encryption on top of the morse codes. If they really wanted to obfuscate then they would not broadcast systematically at the hour nor in easily decrypted communication. For me it seems after watching the documentary that they do not care if people know, only that they might not want investigative journalist to produce contents. There is no way military intelligence does not have control of the position of the ships
Either they dont care much or were too stupid
The Russian Navy ships are sending international weather code using Morse. It contains the latitude and longitude of the vessel. They are using Ship Surface Observation code, FM 13-IX Ship. If they were using encryption for the weather then it would be the key to the decryption of the message. In the address group of the Morse message they send the callsigns for the Russian hydrographic stations. They have been doing this since Soviet times.
these ships have cable cutters too
sad, I used to love DW Documentary, it used to make cool documentaries but recently it has become a pro-west propaganda channel. I will miss DW.
