https://defence24.pl/polityka-obronna/i ... wo-w-akcjiThe Estonian Navy tried to intercept the tanker Jaguar, sailing as part of the so-called Russian shadow fleet. The action involved Estonian Navy ships, helicopters and planes. The Russians sent a Su-30 fighter.
A recording has appeared online, made from the deck of a tanker sailing under the Gabonese flag, which in reality delivers Russian oil as part of the so-called Shadow Fleet. The exact date of the film is not known, but considering the current position of the tanker - which is moored off the coast of Gogland Island - the largest island in the Gulf of Finland controlled by Russia, the recording is probably up to date.
The footage shows an A139 helicopter and an M-28 Skytruck (produced by PZL Mielec) of the Estonian army circling the vessel. The next frame shows one of the Estonian navy's patrol ships sailing in close proximity to the tanker. The Estonian crew uses the radio to call on the Jaguar to change course and sail in accordance with the emergency services' call.
A Russian fighter was also circling in the area - probably a Su-30 belonging to the Baltic Fleet. It is not yet known what caused the Estonians to try to stop the vessel. However, considering that the vessel had dropped anchor off the coast of a Russian island, these attempts proved futile.
The tanker JAGUAR is linked to the Indian company Gatik Ship Management – one of the leading operators of the so-called “shadow” fleet transporting Russian crude oil, which is subject to Western sanctions.
We will update the message.
Estonian forces attempted to detain the Gabon-flagged JAGUAR oil tanker belonging to Russia's "Shadow Fleet" in the Gulf of Finland. The vessel was en route to the Russian port of Primorsk.
Estonian vessels, AW139 helicopter and M28 Skytruck plane can been seen maneuvering around the JAGUAR tanker. Russian Sukhoi Su-27 fighter jet also appears in the sky, so the situation is pretty tense.
The JAGUAR oil tanker is currently halted near one of the islands in the Gulf of Finland, so there's a possibility that the Estonians ultimately managed to detain the vessel.

"The Estonian Navy approached the ship's crew and demanded that it set a course for an Estonian port. Then they tried to board the tanker. However, a Russian SU-35 suddenly appeared in the sky, after which the Estonians decided not to continue the assault on the tanker."
