Swedish Air Force advertised its intent to strike deep into Russia in the event of a war. This was stated in an interview in Swedish Aftonbladet a few days ago. Now it has reached Russian language press. www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Ex...

Segerplanen i luftkriget – slå till inne i Ryssland
Om Ryssland anfaller kan Putin inte längre räkna med att vi bara försöker parera hans slag. Flygvapnets nya plan för att avgöra luftkriget är att gå på offensiven – och slå ut mål långt inne i Rysslan...

A week or so ago there was much ado about tensions running high in North Eastern Europe. So I decided to look for material changes, namely flight hours by selected aircraft classes over North Eastern Europe. All except two point to everything being very normal last weeks. 🧵

A sanctioned swiss lawyer who according to Panama Papers laundered billions for Vladimir Putin was director of a Danish company for 23 years. The same company that Danwatch could recently reveal worked with Rosneft and was owned by a top spy from the KGB. The question remains: What's the purpose?

A Russian small tanker whom I believe to be navy-affiliated started moving towards Svalbard at midnight, after idling last week far off shore Tromsø, Norway. Might indicate fleet movement. MELITO CARRIER 8920581. Navy-suspicion based on previous bunkering of spy trawler LIRA.
