It hasn’t transmitted its position for 14 hours 🤔 I’m increasingly convinced that there is Russian personnel on board specializing in SIGINT.@LibyaFieldNotes @key2med @JMJalel_H @Richard_AHolmes @MTailamun @KaptainLOMA

After approximately 15 hours without AIS data, the Flexi 2 is located about 60 nm north of the Libyan coast. Its course lies outside the Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC) for the Suez route. It could be heading toward Tobruk, Libya.

FLEXI 2: Anomalous Coastal Navigation Raises Questions The Iranian-flagged container ship FLEXI 2 (IMO 9246322), departing from Bronka, Russia, is reportedly bound for the Suez Canal. However, its voyage across European waters presents a pattern that warrants closer scrutiny. After navigating near the UK and Portuguese coasts, the vessel continued along the North African maritime corridor, with its movements near Algeria and the Sicilian coastline standing out as particularly noteworthy. Its reported coastal track raises questions about the rationale behind its route, especially where navigation appears unusually close to sensitive maritime areas. Although its AIS destination remains Suez, the vessel's movements invite further examination and comparison with patterns sometimes associated with intelligence-gathering ships. This alone, however, does not establish an intelligence mission or suspicious activity. Is the FLEXI 2 simply following an unconventional commercial route, or does its maritime track warrant closer investigation? Based on reported AIS data. Positions, routes and destinations should be independently verified.@key2med @SONARROW_OSINT @TiaFarris10 @TankerTrackers @seawaves_mag @KaptainLOMA @Rockhoppas @kattyfun1 @DonnetJules @Capt_Navy @charly0153 @UKForcesTracker @Unknwon_141 @Richard_AHolmes @NavyLookout @MrFrantarelli @InsiderGeo @GrangerE04117 @visionergeo

RUSSIAN NAVAL WATCH | 1814 UTC Russian Navy tug SB-921 Evgeniy Churov reported at 57.9°N, 05.9°E, heading southeast at 6–10 knots (by @te3ej ), reportedly alongside the Kilo-class submarine Novorossiysk. After an apparent attempt to head north, possibly toward Russia’s Northern Fleet, the group may now be turning back toward the Baltic. Adverse weather could be forcing a change of plans, although the precise reason remains unconfirmed. Further tracking and meteorological data are needed to establish whether this is a temporary diversion or a cancelled deployment. @MrFrantarelli @UKForcesTracker @auonsson @te3ej @The_Lookout_N @KaptainLOMA @Capt_Navy @TiaFarris10 @SONARROW_OSINT @kattyfun1 @key2med @CeciliaSykala

According to Spectre Crouton (@spectrecrouton.bsky.social), the Russian Navy’s Amur-class repair ship PM-82 may have departed Baltiysk during the evening of 5 October, based on metadata analysis. PM-82 could be heading towards the North Sea to resupply Neustrashimyy. If confirmed, this would fit a familiar modus operandi: Russian support vessels repeatedly being used to sustain deployed units at distance, extending their operational reach without relying directly on intermediate ports. @SONARROW_OSINT @TiaFarris10 @charly0153 @UKForcesTracker @auonsson @The_Lookout_N @BelgiumDefence @jr_amon_ceuta @MrFrantarelli
