1. # The tanker Eagle S, which destroyed the power cables between Finland and Estonia, and the tanker Swiftsea Rider were equipped with spy equipment to intercept military radio traffic from NATO countries.

   *Russia-linked cable-cutting tanker seized by Finland was loaded with spying equipment*

   *Listening equipment placed on Eagle S and related tanker Swiftsea Rider to monitor Nato naval and aircraft activities, Lloyd’s List told.*

   *Eagle S, the Russia-linked tanker suspected of damaging an underwater electricity cable on Christmas day, was kitted out with special transmitting and receiving devices that were used to monitoring naval activity, according to a source with direct involvement in the ship that has since been detained by Finnish police*

2. Angering the two countries that can throttle off the naval trade of Russia’s second-largest town and one of its most important trade ports.

   Brilliant move.
