Summary

Headline: Russia is running a new marine spoofer in eastern Gulf of Finland.

Description

Reports and visual evidence indicate that Russia is operating a new marine GPS spoofing system in the eastern Gulf of Finland near Primorsk, close to the Finnish border. The reported spoofing pattern is a combined circle and oval shape, which appears to be affecting marine traffic by erroneously sending ship locations deep into Finnish territory. The potential for this spoofing to direct GPS-guided munitions into Finland is theorized.

Quotes

Russia is running a new marine spoofer in eastern Gulf of Finland.

Seen a combined circle and oval (new?) spoofer. It is rather leaky though and lots of ships are 'sent' deep into Finland.

Oval-ish spoofing pattern just off Primorsk, pointing to a seemingly uninhabited island just SW of the important oil terminals.

Just realized a (new?) circle spoofer in the Baltic Sea, Russia close to the Finnish border
