Nato and Russian naval activity

[william]

At least 5 unknown NATO warships have been operating with unusual 'running patrol' or readiness track by Skagen, ie entry to Baltic Sea and also commonly a loiter spot for Russia. A few hours ago the area was passed by Russian Syrian express, possible destroyer-escorted. The practice of running patrols, as stated in manuals and explained by sailors, is a way of keeping the ship fully ready for any circumstance, ie a heightened state of alert.

• Russia conducted a submerged launch of a Bulava ICBM from the Borei-A class submarine Generalissimo Suvorov in the Sea of Okhotsk on October 28, 2026, with warheads reportedly reaching the Chizha test range in Arkhangelsk region as part of scheduled Pacific Fleet training.
• The Generalissimo Suvorov, commissioned in 2022, carries up to 16 Bulava missiles designed for nuclear warheads with MIRV capability, forming a core element of Russia's sea-based strategic nuclear deterrent.
• The test follows a similar 2022 launch from the same submarine and demonstrates long-range operational readiness across Russia's territory amid ongoing global military tensions.

According to AIS-data a Swedish warship is moving slowly right at the border of Kaliningrad since yesterday noon UTC.If veracious: Sweden is signaling (and collecting signals) by letting everyone know. The Visby corvette is impervious to the heavy local GPS-spoofing.

• Post content: @auonsson shares AIS tracking video showing a Swedish warship (labeled as Visby corvette) moving slowly at 1-3 knots right on Kaliningrad's maritime border since Oct 27 noon UTC, with timestamps from Oct 27-28, 2026.
• Analysis and caveats: Suggests Sweden is deliberately signaling presence and collecting intel in a heavily GPS-spoofed zone; questions if the track is genuine or falsified, citing 2021 Russian spoofing of Swedish vessels' AIS near Kaliningrad as precedent.
• Context: @auonsson is a Baltics-focused OSINT account; Visby corvettes are stealthy Swedish Navy ships currently undergoing air defense upgrades, operating amid heightened regional naval tensions. Grok
