  "description": "Two state/flagless tankers, actually Russian shadow tankers sailing under false AIS flags (Malawi and Panama), are headed for the Baltic Sea and appear to be escorted by a Russian warship as they traverse the English Channel. The warship, likely Russian Corvette 'Boikiy', was close to the tankers but did not maintain a consistent escort pattern. The tankers split to navigate separate straits as they enter the Baltic Sea. This movement is observed alongside suspicious AIS data and reports of a ship with fake IMO/MMSI being intercepted by the Danish navy near Skagen.",

  "evidence": [
    "It seems increasingly likely that the two latest state/flagless actually Russian shadow tankers headed for Baltic Sea are escorted by Russian warships as they traverse English Channel.",
    "The two tankers Sierra (IMO: 9522324) and Naxos (IMO: 9336426, AIS name “Selva”) are sailing under false AIS flag (Malawi and Panama respectively).",
    "Nearby in escort formation: Russian Corvette “Boikiy” likely behind the generic MMSI.",
    "I find it unlikely that Russian Baltic Fleet corvette SKR-532 “Boikiy” escorted the 2 state/flag-less tankers that is now entering Baltic Sea.",
    "The warship was close for a while but generally does not look like an escort imho.",
    "The tankers split too, picking one strait each.",
    "A ship slightly ahead of these just passing Skagen with fake IMO/MMSI that is being intercepted by DK navy right now."
