Sink the ships.
If you read the article, you learn that the authorities never properly searched any of these freighters - that’s probably a more sensible place to start.

Conversely, you could disregard any semblance of what is sensible or proper, and have those vessels experience catastrophic failures while in deep waters.
They might be subject to that same mysterious force that severs undersea cables.
Fuck the Russians, but use their same attitude towards rules.
Just arrest them. If they’re involved in criminal activity, espionage or sabotage, that sounds to me like more than enough reason to seize these ships.
Or, just sink them.
Vladimir Putin doesn’t play by the rules, so giving him a punch in the mouth might help.
Tow to a scrapper, we don’t want bunker oil spilling into our sea and its materials could be reused

That makes sense from an economical standpoint.
From a Sending A Message standpoint, the ship, the cargo, and all hands should sink to the ocean floor, in order to get the punctuation correct on said message.
I am so incredibly tired of the lack of response to Russia’s aggression. At this point I’m nearly convinced that Russia could mobilise a force directly into EU territory and nothing would happen.
Nonsense, there would be a sternly worded letter to the ambassador, a UN resolution vote to denounce Russia (Russia would veto), and possibly some sanctions on luxury croc exports.
So is Russia.
MAGA: “There go those Libz again, with their Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax. Russia is a friendly country that just wants to keep that ungrateful Ukraine as a pet.”
They would never, thats illegal!
The original source of the article is Bild, a German tabloid. I don’t see this story relayed on other reputable news outlets.
Big red flag for me. Let’s see how things are evolving but I’ll be skeptical until then.
They did a very good job, many of the OSINT work goes unreported. Example: people like All Eyes on Wagner, Casus Belli, Sonarrow, Debunk Cafe have been tracking Russian trafficking yellow cake out of Niger when most news outlets care fuck all about Africa.
Axel Springer cares fuck all about anything other than their profits, their power in German politics and being a narrative setter.
By saying „they did a very good job, …“ but after the comma instead of explaining, why you think they did a good job, you start a deflection, you immediately discredit yourself as a supposed good faith actor.
Care to try again, FactChecker?
e: oh, you‘re that kind of account. alright, bring it!
This link states, though I can’t verify this, that:
According to classified BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, in Eng: Federal Criminal Police Office, Germany) reports obtained by the team:
1,072 incidents involving 1,955 drones in 2025 alone (as of November 19). Forty-five percent occurred in evening hours. Drone swarms flew “almost exclusively over or near military installations.”
Note: author checks out though.
This is absolutely insane, and I don’t understand how it’s tolerated.
Because it’s very likely not real. These are unverifiable, imaginary numbers published by Axel Springer, the worst German journalism has to offer.
In regards to the author, the Bellingcat description says:
He was previously a freelance trainer for Bellingcat.
He is a “a trainer of media professionals specialised in new media, social media and data journalism”, “thought leader” and “visiting lector of Axel Springer Akademie in Berlin” according to this profile. He consults, teaches, sells books about his methods, but does not do investigative reporting himself (as it seems).
So, he’s legit as in that kind of way, sure is involved in stuff. But not neccessarily in a way that boosts his trustworthiness in regards of the journalistic integrity of the reporting done here.
I would watch this movie.
That photo is awesome!
Good. Thanks.
And then they all committed suicide in mysterious circumstances via radiation ingestion
That is some Kick-Ass journalism right there
This is pure misinformation and clickbait. No evidence of the ships using drones is provided.
It is clear nobody here read the article. Turns out German “journalism” students are even worse at their jobs than those who get the sham degree.
All the students are from Axel Springer‘s trainee program, the notorious publisher known for its misinformation, slandering and yellow press. Absolutely not known for its investigative journalism, that would be a new one. Heavily biased pro capitalist, pro Ukraine, pro Israel.
The story also was published behind a paywall, around two weeks after the analysis from dronewatch.eu debunking almost all the drone sightings.
Although officials in Denmark, Germany and Belgium have repeatedly suggested Russian involvement, the data tells a different story. Only three cases involved confirmed Russian drones — all in countries bordering Ukraine: Poland, Romania and Moldova.
This means that the often-mentioned link to Russian hybrid warfare in Western Europe is still unsubstantiated. And even if, at some point, drones were observed flying in formation — as the Belgian defence minister has claimed several times — that does not automatically point to a state actor.
I press DOUBT.
