It’s happening again

Hade möjlighet att tacka fartygschefen på HMS Rapp för besättningens insats när det franska hangarfartyget Charles de Gaulle besökte Malmö i februari. Då upptäckte HMS Rapp en rysk drönare i Öresund och agerade snabbt för att skydda våra franska allierade. (1/3)

Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up. Frozen plasma intended for transfusion was stored there too. Fortunately nothing was destroyed. This was a cyberattack on a sensitive layer of healthcare. From frozen peas to boiling plasma in three weeks...?

AI-driven information operations will reshape security and will be a challenge to societies. I'll speak about this at a seminar at @KingsCollegeLon @warstudies on 10 December/13:00. I'll show the first fully autonomous information operation. AI agents running influence campaigns end to end. What if AI starts selecting campaign objectives too?

EXCLUSIVE: In a joint investigation by @InsiderGeo × @SONARROW_OSINT , we identified a large-scale Russian military loading operation in Baltiysk. Between October 15 and 16, we observed the Russian cargo vessels ASCALON (IMO 9198226), LADY D (IMO 9349289) and ANASTASIIA (IMO 9349291) loading significant quantities of military equipment at the Kaliningrad naval base, including logistics vehicles, infantry vehicles, MRAPs and troop transports. A rotation of other cargo vessels also appears to have taken place in the days before and after, although heavy cloud cover over the period makes this difficult to confirm. One or more large convoys are likely already underway. Their destination(s) remain unknown at this time.

🇧🇬 Bulgaria’s Chief of Defence, Admiral Emil Eftimov, says Bulgaria could not destroy the maritime drones that attacked the CONTSHIP JET, citing legal constraints because the attack took place in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone, outside its territorial waters, as well as severe weather conditions. But this is exactly the grey zone I have been warning about for some time. I raised the same question in the context of Romania’s Neptun Deep gas project: does NATO’s Article 5 necessarily cover attacks on critical infrastructure located in an exclusive economic zone? The answer is not straightforward. Now we are facing another example. If a threat is approaching our countries through an exclusive economic zone, are we effectively saying that we cannot act until it enters territorial waters? What does that mean for offshore energy platforms, critical infrastructure and commercial shipping? Are we going to leave these questions unanswered while hostile actors exploit every legal and operational grey area? Europe already suffers from uncertainty over NATO’s unity and the credibility of its collective defence. Europe cannot keep hiding behind vague political statements and legal ambiguities while its adversaries exploit every weakness. If NATO cannot clearly explain how it would respond to threats against critical infrastructure in an exclusive economic zone, then its credibility is already being undermined. A defence alliance that leaves fundamental questions about its own response unanswered invites adversaries to test its limits. NATO need clear commitments, clear rules of engagement and the political will to act when the security is threatened not endless uncertainty, hesitation and explanations after the damage has already been done. Deterrence means making it clear beforehand what the consequences of an attack will be. If even that remains uncertain, what exactly are we deterring?
