Russia has a fleet of suspected spy ships operating in Nordic waters as part of a program for the potential sabotage of underwater cables and wind farms in the region, according to a joint investigation by the public broadcasters of Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. Steve Hall, ex-CIA chief on Russian operations joins CNN to discuss. #CNN #News
NATO poses no threat to a non-imperial Russia. If Russia stopped acting like everyone's enemy all the time, NATO wouldnt be necessary.
That's true, they use that as "propaganda" because they want power, like a mustache guy that we know...
What are you talking about US sent their spy drone to the black sea and everyone was ok with it.. why they acting now.. its obviously international waters so they can traverse
@Gus Garcia LOL I had the same reaction 😂
Exactly. If Russia would befriend neighboring countries and establish trade, these surrounding Countries wouldn't need to bother with joining NATO. Apparently Putin thinks it's better to have enemies than friends. If he was a true man and leader he would recognize Ukraine as a sovereign state and establish trade to bolster both countries. Truth of the matter is that during war time you can boost your economy by creating jobs manufacturing weapons. That's what Hitler did.
funny thing is, Russia could have joined NATO, all they had to do is apply.
This is the sort of thing German tourists were doing all over Europe in the 1930s. Collecting and making maps, obtaining railway timetables, documenting electricity lines and gas pipelines, sketching pretty views of roads and factories and ports and airfields, watching military parades, and telling aunt Helga and uncle Adolf all about their trip.

2:28 It is Not a reaction to NATO's expansion. It is a reaction to Ukraine not losing the war.
Maja, Ukrainians don't have planes, tanks will arrive maybe, how many nobody knows. That is a dire situation for them.
@@zeljkoc8878 They actually do have planes, and some of their losses have been offset with the recent Polish and Slovakian donations of MiG-29's. A lot of pledged tanks have already arrived and are being incorporated in units. Numbers are well over 150 for Leopard 2's, there's also a lot of Leo 1's, and some Challenger 2's and Abrams (I don't think the latter are arriving that soon). French wheeled AMX-10RC have also arrived, and ofc there's a lot of systems like MLRS, self propelled howitzers etc. Yes, the situation is hard but if you want to make a claim that Ukraine is somehow hanging by a thread and about to lose this war, that's just spreading blatant falsehoods.
@@johnnewman1819 Well training is on the way, maybe they will come to the battlefield someday. But no one will win a war without planes and 20 migs are a joke, their radar can see about 50,60 km and they need to have big ground radars which is suicidal. Spare parts, ammo for vehicles, fuel, logistic, food, medicines, money for officers.. you can pay all that but for how long?
RuZZia does not react---It is the West that reacts---RuZZia ACTS---these ships have been built a long time ago and the missions prepared as well---The RuZZians are doing whatever they think that they can get away with and the West just sits and watches!--waiting for something to "happen" all the while that it is already happening!---blindness in plain sight!

Do not trust them as far as I can see them.
This ship stayed in my country”s coastline (Brazil) for at least 10 days without being discovered. After being located by our Air Force the Brazilian Navy tried to contact it but the vessel did not respond and navigated off the Brazilian coast. In a few days it contacted the Brazilian Navy and requested permission to enter in Rio”s port. Authorisation was granted to the ship, as it isn’t considered an enemy vessel. After some late studies Brazilian authorities found out the Russian ship navigated for days over the fibre optics and communication system in the Atlantic Ocean and perhaps they mapped the Brazilian underwater system of communication. It has happened one or two years ago. 😮
Given Brazil's failure to stand up for democracy and against Russian aggression worldwide for many decades and especially now with the "special military operation" in Ukraine Brazil has little to fear. Tropical Trump and Lula were and are both Kompromat.
Well now Lula would welcome them anyway :)

I hope you are joking? Nothing suspiscious about a "research" ship with masked men with kalasnikovs within another country border staring down boats that come to close to them? Not to mention turning off your AIS which is required by law to have on when whitin another contrys border. The only way to act when you turn this off and going dark is that you are signaling you are an enemy! Not to mention all the antennas on this ship, they are not doing whale safari discovering wildlife to report back to kremlin. All of this is borderline an act of war

We've been watching Russia look back at us for decades.

I was doing telemetry work on the AIM-54C Phoenix air-to-air missile at the time. We were monitoring what they were doing; interesting stuff.

I was stationed at LORMONSTA Shetland Isles in the US Coast Guard in the mid-70's. A Russian "trawler" had pulled into the Lerwick harbor and some of them came into a pub where I was with a friend of mine overlooking it. The locals were nervous we would fight or something but we bought a round and got on fine. At one point it did get tense when I asked what all the antennas were for. There was a pause and then I volunteered it was to "find the fish?". We all had a good laugh and they were glad to agree. We left shortly after that, though, as there four of them and two of us.

So sad that so much money and effort is spent on warfare and defense. Imagine how much better off mankind could be if the world was at peace and the money was spent on helping people in poverty.
Yea but you do understand that it is necessary and vital to maintaining an overall peace? If NATO didnt pose such an obstacle to foreign adversaries, these adversaries would take drastic actions to achieve their goals. I'm not saying that some money doesn't go to the wrong places, or at times "goes missing". But I know that without these high defense budgets, the world would actually be less peaceful, with more violence. It's an ugly cycle but it is humanity.

There are things in the work to get an actual millitary going, but still too early for my taste. These efforts did get more attention lately due to the Ukrain war and i would think if EU nations have any brains they will find ways to more closely cooperate millitarily, besides most EU nations are also part of NATO. Biggest hurdles in the past if i am not mistaken were language and fear of not getting prioratised should someone become a target of military aggression. The language part is partly addressed by having certain nations grouping up like france and germany to make mixed battalions, whereby i would see it as easier if one just goes with english all the way.

Any (foreign) ship that turns off AIS transponders should get an immediate call from authorities of the country affected, demanding an explanation and that the transponders are turned back on instantly. Zig-zagging (or other suspicious activity) near any sort of vital infrastructure should also result in contact from authorities and ships/helicopters/planes (whichever can get there fastest) sent to the site to escort the intruders out, the same way it's done with airborne territorial infringements. The escorts out should be non-confrontational, but strict and not up for debate. If the Russians want to do "research" at sea, they can do it in their own waters, not near vital infrastructure of other nations.
Spot on !
@badofi From what I understand, Russia's policy is to break almost all /any international law /agreement they can.

In the 80's Denmark started to built huge experiment windmills where the tower was made of concrete. The mills was placed near a coal fired power plant and when ships from Polen delivered coal the crew where also very interested in the windmill tower, which they beleave was missile silos, because who would built windmills 😂.

Nothing new about Russian AGI "trawlers". One of the most important functions for Russian spy ship fleets, was the gathering of submarine "signatures" - the patterns of noise that could often identify the specific type of submarine and were thus valuable in anti-submarine warfare.

In the 1970's the cheapest way to get from NZ to Australia was by a Russian cruise ship. There were 2 cruising the Pacific the " Merkail Lermatov" and the "Feydor Shaliarpin" (only approximate spelling) one of which sank in the Marlborough Sound in North of the South lsland a few years later. Wellington was a R & R port for the US coastguard as the last stop before Antartica. There were lots of places ,whole decks, which were out of bounds for passengers . They were spy ships for sure.

Ha, I play too much games and I have an avid imagination, but the first thing that comes to mind is the "surveillance ships" deploy underwater drones that install remote controlled devices that can be exploited (or exploded) at a later time. I would try to scan everything and make sure not surprises were left behind there ...
Possible. The issue is that once an explosion happens or anything else those ships won't be safe even in Russian ports and neither will Russian warships. Also, you can't "scan" for this. You have to search for it. Those remote control devices leave traces behind and helps with locating devices and bombs. Also, the Russians have problems with these technologies. If they cannot maintain a tank, anything that's installed so deep underwater will surely have issues. These underwater devices would have problems even if they were more advanced and better designed and better maintained. Also, just finding these devices can make these spy ships ACTUALLY become ghost ships.
Could always launch a ghost-torpedo as these ghost ships :)
Reminds me of the late 60's when I was a merchant seaman. Just past the 12 mile limit of the east coast were Russian fishing trawlers spying on US. But I was a crew member on a research vessel that was spying on activities in the South Pacific in the late 70's. I remember in port they brought these men aboard that their title was overseers of some research that was testing the waters.
One of those trawlers drove through the trawl on my grandfather's little trawler and tried to sink him. He was getting pulled backwards with water coming over his transom and was just lucky enough to cut the cable of his own net to keep from sinking. He was a poor working man and that net cost a lot. I've hated Russians ever since. This happened off the Jersey Coast near the Delaware Bay.
Most of the ones we saw were of the Jersey and Virginia shores. They were definitely spy boats, doing a little fishing to look like regular fisherman.
And Canada, we found a Russian trawler covered with antennas collecting Elint just north of Goose Bay in 1962
We have one sits just south of the Pascagoula naval shipyard year round the crew was fishing of the side we went by in our sport fisher and cut there lines not sure what they was yelling at us but angry Russians are hilarious
I recall sailing off of CA in the 80's my friend and Capt. of the sailing vessel he was a ret. Royal Navy signal man. He told me of the "woodpecker" a jamming sound to disrupt airwave signals from the Russians and I listened to most available bands to the public and couldn't help but wonder how the hell could they track 10's of thousands of calls from all frequencies public and private including the enormous wattage of Mexican radio blasting over everything. made me laugh

I don't agree this is a "defensive posture", this is clearly a preparatory offensive operation. The countries affected should be treated as such.
This Is Highly Intimidating.
Those Russian ships have more antennas than a CIA listening post!
Because CIA posts are all around on land, so there are CIA posts more than antennas 😂.
Interestingly, having that amount of antennas implies they are using quite old technology.
They probably don't work. Nothing else seems to.
@The Alchæmist Considering Sovtek radio tubes are still big business, I tend to agree.
Maybe they'll use those tubes as breathing apparatus under the sea? Seems that Russian vessels are notorious leakers like a sieve perhaps or like a hole which makes them easier to dispose of I suppose, kinda like when we made the guilty dig their own hole, got😅 to love Russian efficiency imo. Slava Ukraine, glory to the heroes!❤
Would be a damn shame if those "research ships" were to sink
Ye, smoking accidents happen frequently lately in Ruzzia!
Or to accident blow up, like the nordstream pipeline?
Or better yet, feed false information to the Russian "spy" ships. and then watch Russia trip over itself. That's actually how the "cold-war" was "won" (i guess. sure doesn't feel like it). and how the Soviet system collapsed. The Soviets never "designed" anything, they steal the blue prints from someone else. The else being America naturally.

It's common practice of most countries.
Dude, put a reel on the antennae at least. they're not even trying to hide. 😂😂😂
Not with this one, it's a "science vessel" their "fishing vessels" are a lot less conspicuous, except for always showing up when NATO is doing something. Just happening to sail past a US nuclear sub docked in a Norwegian harbour. Or just happening to "fish" right next to a major NATO exercise etc... There's always been fishing vessels spying on us. But since the war they've been willing to burn assets making it blatantly obvious what they're doing in order to get the desired information...

I was in the RCN during middle to late 60's. We spent a lot of time tracking "Oceanographic survey vessels from Soviet Union at the time. These vessels bristled with electronics and were certainly not surveying without reason. We would track from Alaska to Washington state where the USN took over. Looks like nothing has changed?
They’re pushing their boundaries in the sky too. They come into our airspace up here pretty frequently. We are pretty detrimental to Northern American nuclear security. We being Alaska.

Very true. But it is not the 'Russians' per se, just Putin . . . who conflates his kleptocracy with 'Russia's interests'. Russia's interests would be best served by getting rid of the thieves in the Kremlin and allowing someone with the best interests of Russia and its people, and the competence to rule. Russia has no issue with the 'evil West', only Putin, who can't have successful, free, affluent, democratic ex-Soviet states on its' borders demonstrating to the long suffering Russian people that you don't have to have autocratic kleptocrats in charge.
It turns out that the bad one is not the one who spies, but the one who does not allow spying on himself? Ghoul logic- You're to blame because I'm hungry. Russia thinks you are all dickheads
In these times, it should be perfectly reasonable if these vessels were 'pulled over' by navy or coast guard and asked: "What are you doing here?"

Yeah, things like the sound of a US nuclear sub that was visiting us here in Norway when one of these ships just *happen* to sail past on its way into a Norwegian Harbour, bold as brass... As well as goodness knows what they've picked up while sailing around NATO military exercises in circles...
@@Luredreier I thought the NATO game was always to escort them right out ?
@@pal6636 Yep, usually. I have no idea why that particular one wasn't escorted out when a US nuclear sub was in our waters... I don't know if they didn't know about that particular ship before that incident or if they wanted the ships crew and the Russian goverment to think that they had gotten away with it in order to identify agents on land or what the heck that was all about... But if they where known then that information better be bloody good to risk them picking up a US nuclear subs sound profile... Unless it's known that they already have it or something... Perhaps it was intentional? To feed them with a fake sound profile or something? I don't know... I just know that our public broadcasting services learned that it actually happened, and I believe they even caught it on tape sailing past the US sub, although honestly I haven't watched the documentary yet, just the talk about it. I'll have to get around to doing so soon... Another thing worth noting is that Norways approach has long been to keep the the relationship with Russia as non antagonistic as possible. And I believe our government generally has been intentionally "turning a blind eye" to a lot of what the Russians are doing as long as they behave somewhat. Those 15 diplomats that we expelled recently has been in our country for a long time, and been known agents for most of that time. But it's only recently that they've been going too far making expelling them necessary. Basically like Sweden and Finland Norway has tried to make Russia feel like we're not a threat. Allowing them to see roughly what's going on, and that we're not actively preparing for a NATO invasion of Russia, during exercises is probably acceptable to our government. But there should be limits... Subs need stealth to work well... I don't know... Perhaps NATO wa testing the stealth of their subs, intentionally letting the Russians try to pick them up to see what Russian equipment is capable of picking up? That's of course assuming that the communication between the Russian spy ships and Russia can be intercepted to determine what they picked up... But yeah, I'm just guessing at this point...
@@Luredreier interesting. Thanks

This isn't about tracking devices. It's espionage. For instance "fishing vessels" and "research ships" that just happens to sail into one of our harbours exactly when a US nuclear sub is visiting us, or sail right next to a NATO naval exercise etc... There's at least over 100 that's suspected of being spy ships according to our intelligence agencies. But our public broadcasters identified 50 that they're *positive* are spy ships that hasn't just occasionally displayed strange behavior like that but have repeatedly done so.
wow they looking at us? lol so what?
There's a lot of things missing in this video, like how these ships where violating the territorial waters of NATO countries etc... If this had been done out in international waters it would have been 100% legal however. But it wasn't...
Russia is just trying to get a good look at a real military
They looked at them. Yeah, real tense boys 🙄
Fishing for underwater data cables 😊
"...they can never detect us! We're dee-best spies in the world!!!..." "... actually we can see you. You're right there....in that boat. We saw you come in. Now we're going to tell news networks about this...say hello!🎉"
the ship could have a HULL that opens to release a clandestine ROV
I can confirm that it has. My Russian friend worked upon it.
Maybe they are looking for flight MH 309 (newbies at map reading)
How can we be SURPRISED?
Best thing you can do is track its movement an send aship to watch it ,its trying to stay under the radar so constantly watching what there up to blows there cover
Anyone else catch him say “ and we don’t know, at least not publicly Who’s behind these Nordic pipeline attacks” So they know who did it but won’t tell us ?
USA was behind the Nord Stream 2 sabotage, as Biden told us would happen. This is why the UN voted to abstain from investigating it.
russia speaks russia lies. They are synonyms. I thought everybody knows by now.
More than synonyms. They speak 10 words, they lie 11 times. 😂
Is this the same ship James Bond had to recover the encryption device from? 😂
When a Russian shop was a mile off the line on Hawaii, we straight up said that's a Russian spy ship. Every military contact I know were waiting for them to float a little closer...
A good day to everyone despite the miseries happening in the world
This went on throught the cold war and I'd be surprised if it ever stopped completely. The same thing is undoubtedly happening in east asia too.
Would it be possible to block their technical stuff
Why omit the footage with the armed guard(s) coming on deck on the Vladimisky when the journalists approached it?
The real questions to be asked is WHY NORDIC countries allowing russian ships to cross and do mapping activities in those internal waters and WHY NATO is NOT doing something FORCEFUL against those intrusions?
Nordic countries are not in NATO yet. So those neutral countries have neutral waters. So, that allows WARSAW or NATO into their waters at the same time. Neutral means not choosing a "side" though they partnered with NATO often. Off limits to NATO OR WARSAW to make any "forceful action". None of their business. The view is changing with the attack on Ukraine(which was unfathomable before it happened); now the Nordics are choosing a side...because they don't want to take on Russia alone. (Berserker mushrooms are out of season)
Well, they weren't lying about being a research vessel. The Russians are researching where to sabatoge
Want to watch this, but the 'see what hapens' in the title made it tougher to click on.
You did not miss anything.
Who says they just mapping where these strategic and critical points are..? How about rigging them with explosives, hidden in some way?
Nice ship, shame if something happened to it.
Like most Russian ships, with little to no maintenance, ONLY the thickness of their rust and paint, keeps them afloat!
@@khiem1939 Better ban ALL SMOKERS
All Russian activities in the world must be closely monitored.
It is better to isolate Russia and stop doing business with it.
FOOL WHAT OF AMERICA
Especially their propaganda.
Wow, optic fibers and wind farms! Stuff we do not have at home!
That ship looks like a porcupine with all those antennas.
Looks like the same fishing trawlers that use to follow us, when we were cruising in the North Atlantic or Mediterranean Sea, 40 years ago.
Its freedom of navigation.
In 1975 when the USS Hancock was rushing with a relief force to Koh Tanh Island, Russian trawlers kept cutting in front of us to slow us down. I was on the flight deck in the first wave to go to the island and it was announced we would launch in 15 minutes...as the time got near to launch, the Russian trawlers continued to cut in front of us...about 5 minutes before launch, the Captain of the Hancock announced that the Combat Operation had been called off since all Marines were off the Island. At that point the Hancock made a sharp turn to the port side just as a Russian trawler cut in front of it, standing on the flight deck I saw that they were "slightly" bumped and the Russian crew was knocked about the deck of their trawler! Shame I didn't have a camera to record this incident! Knowing what we know now, it was great that we didn't launch, since I would not be posting on this venue today!
Russia was the first country to do a cyber attack prior to a land invasion when they invaded Georgia. This scenario was highlighted during that period. Not surprising that Russia is looking to do this prior to making a large military move.
Suspect my ass. It's like we suspect McDonald's isn't healthy.
They were off the coast of CT maybe a year ago - but i suppose we must be doing the same thing right?
Would be a real shame if they hit a REALY SHARP submerged container😂😂😂
🤣
Maybe a Royal Navy sonar buoy which they had previously damaged ?
Should have been boarded and the ship scuttled if it was indeed spying.
Can’t do that in international waters (including economic zones). These ships keep themselves out of other nations territorial waters. And other more stealthy measures are used if/for spying inside territorial waters. Possibly ships that are truly merchant, besides small compartments the crew doesn’t know anything or little about. From where unmanned autonomous underwater drones and perhaps even flying drones are launched in busy and noisy harbors when the ship is loading/unloading goods.
@@abrakkehakka1357ell, some of those 50 ships mentioned has been identified as sailing right past a US nuclear sub docked in a Norwegian harbour... Well within our territorial waters, to put it mildly... Granted, in that case it was a "fishing vessel" not a "research vessel" like this one... A fishing vessel that just happens to always be around NATO exercises and the like... As for boarding it... They're armed, and a international incident between Russia and a NATO country isn't exactly desired for those of us that have a border with Russia... Norwegian authorities have known about over 100 such ships for a long time. This was more a case of civilian journalists identifying about 50 of them and their activities...
@@abrakkehakka1357 You think there`s wind farms in international zones ? 🥴
This is why its insane for the UK to be putting all their alternative energy eggs in one basket.
It's because their Satellites don't work...😆
It's the act of a desperate madman. Eventually they wont have any ships to speak off.
You tell it like it is Joe z😂🐑😂🤡😂🤡😂🤡🐑🐑🐑
Pff.. the capability of a russian spy is comparable to knocking on a door and asking for information.. they are so bad.
They managed to steal the nuke from the US and the US intelligence agencies have admitted themselves that they where way behind the Russians, at least in the beginning of the cold war... The US might have an edge now due to how technological our world is right now. But don't underestimate them... Their problem isn't really a lack of competent spies from what I understand as much as just a incompetent leadership that promotes lying instead of telling undesirable truths... Be that with intelligence services, research or industry...
Let me save you 6 minutes. "They looked back"
We need to control our seas more, we ignore the signals that are being given and this can kill us again from Belgium
Putin needs to go away so the Russian people can live in peace. They know we in the West do not hate them, it's Putin who keeps us apart.
Putin is Russia and Russia is Putin. Same thing CIA and pantagon are America and America is CIA and pantagon. They decide where to bring coup, whom to kill and which country to declare enemy so that hegemony goes on unchecked.
Hint: It's not just Putin doing all this.
@@phil20_20 He's the leader, start with him.
Olaf Scholz grandfather was an SS officer, people who run NATO are grandkids of Wehrmacht soldiers, Chrystia Freeland from Canada is a grand daughter of a Ukrainian Russophobe war criminal. We will talk with you when you put normal people in power, we are not going to speak with siblings of SS officers who were making hand bags out of human skin in 1943.
Not happening. They are totally brainwashed and worship him like a god.
I recall Soviet "AGI"s and "Research Ships" dogging all phases of Sea Duties performed by Naval OP's I was part of ,for most of four years in the 70's........From SF to Singapore.......and not once did we Not Know Who or What they were. Nuff said.
Correct
i also identify as a research vessel.
