https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:130462/zoom:8Off Germany, in the sea between Denmark and Germany, between the two windfarms on the map, you can see that there are German warships out there. They have ships marked "cable guard." I didn't think you'd be able to see the military ships, but there they are. I counted as many as five before some of them dropped off. I think that's a lot of warships. Maybe it's normal, but it's scary.
Didn't we read that the Russian ship marked for research but really was some kind of cable ship had left port and was headed out? Everybody is worried about a land shoot, but what would happen if Russia gave orders to someone to cut cables, and the warships fired on them? Lots of room for error that gets us into trouble.
You can double click on any ship and a box pops up to give you information on the ship.
Added: There's a British warship sailing in that direction, too.

(5,969 posts)2. It's interesting
but when you google for them, 4 of them seem to be minesweepers and one of them is a replenishment ship apparently supporting them in whatever operation they are doing. Could just be something standard.

(4,488 posts)4. The entire Baltic region
needs to be on guard. Sweden sent troops to their Baltic island of Gotland in January. It's been said by many experts that Pooty has no red lines. Any type of military option is open to him, so the west must be vigilant and be ready for a swift and strong response against any further aggression and must supply Ukraine with the tools needed to push the Russians out of ALL (including Crimea and Donbas) of Ukraine.
