  1. Submission Statement:
    Estonia’s Ministry of Defence reports its navy encountered the UK-sanctioned, stateless tanker Jaguar in international waters between Estonia and Finland. The vessel, linked to Russia’s “shadow fleet,” ignored radio calls and moved towards Russian waters. Escorted away near Naissaar Island, the incident escalated when a Russian Su-35 fighter jet briefly violated Estonian/NATO airspace, triggering a NATO response. This highlights Baltic Sea tensions related to Russian sanctions evasion and airspace integrity.

  2. Sooooooo Estonia tries state sanctioned piracy and gets it nose slapped by Russia , what did everyone expect to happen ?

  3. The entirety of Baltic is someone’s EEZ, territorial waters are 12 nm. Estonia’s writing cheques its Navy cant cash. Not surprising coming from Etonia, Kaja was saying Russia needed to be broken up couple of years back.
