Summary

Headline: Russian research vessel 'Schirshov' observed near critical infrastructure in North and Baltic Seas

Short Summary: The Russian vessel 'Schirshov' has been observed operating over critical undersea infrastructure in the North and Baltic Seas, raising fears of espionage or sabotage.

Description

German investigative reporting reveals that the Russian research vessel 'Schirshov' has been operating extensively in the North and Baltic Seas near critical subsea infrastructure, such as pipelines, windparks, and cables. The investigation suggests the ship is mapping and monitoring subsea infrastructure, which has raised concerns among security experts and is possibly related to intelligence or sabotage preparations.

Evidence

Quotes

Es geht offenbar um kritische Infrastruktur im Meer: Um Pipelines, Windparks, Tiefseekabel, Speicher.

Die Schirshov ist auf dem Meeren besonders auffällig, weil sie unterwasser-Infrastruktur wie Leitungen und Stromkabeln analysiert und vermisst.

Über ein halbes dutzend russischer Schiffe, darunter der Schirshov, haben die Reporter:innen analysiert. Oft fahren die Schiffe mit abgeschalteten Ortungssystemen.

Das Schiff gehört zum sogenannten Flotte: Forschungsschiffe unter dem russischen Seerecht.
