Russian forces continue their advance around Ocheretyne, capturing Novokalynove and Keramik, and towards Urozhaine. The grey zone in Robotyne also increased.

Here is a comprehensive visual detailing China's PLA activity around Taiwan through April 2024

This is interesting…..Gen Skobelev was red, ~13000DWT & had a different superstructure when I saw it depart the Baltic Sea on 23 April (see pic)

Russian Forces Spotter shot shows SKR-772 escorting an apparently larger tanker which doesn’t appear, to me, to be Skobelev.

Robotyne situation annotated on TODAY´s satellite image. 'Russia ... recaptured town pushing Ukrainians forces to trenches N of town.'

Trenches at red dotted lines, nearest is only 500 m from blue red circle marking flag position at 47.4515,35.8284.

I wrote on the most recent Baltic GPS jamming. Thanks to Markus Jonsson for sharing their data, which triangulates the jammers’ location to near St Petersburg. Other sources say there is evidence of Russian jamming there. Most likely force protection. economist.com/the-economist-…

📈 The membership of the Estonian Defence League (Kaitseliit) has surpassed 30,000 volunteers. I.e. more than 2% of 🇪🇪 population voluntarily contributes to the readiness to defend #Estonia !

I think we need to differentiate between different episodes of jamming originating from Russia

Sometimes the purpose might be to be annoying, as in the pre Feb 24th 2022 world, but today I think many instances needs to be considered as spillover / collateral damage from the war

The GPS-jammer affecting aircrafts around Estonia is located in Russia, about halfway to St Petersburg from Narva, Estonia.

This is shown by plotting the highest density of intersecting radio horizons of jammed aircrafts on a map.

Further, a drone-based method supports it.🧵
