Russian cargo ship Sparta IV, sanctioned and linked to military transport, is being closely shadowed by a Portuguese Air Force Lockheed P-3C Orion and a Tekever AR5 drone.

The vessel appears to be racing north to beat the severe weather forecasted for the Bay of Biscay.

#OSINT #SpartaIV #NATO

The Sparta IV vessel intends to cross the Bay of Biscay ahead of the bad weather forecast for Wednesday, February 18.

UPDATE: SPARTA IV ON THE MOVE 🚨

The Russian cargo #SpartaIV has broken its "pendulum" pattern and is leaving Eastern Sardinia, heading West.

#OSINT #MaritimeSecurity #Navy #BreakingNews

Can you confirm that the #SpartaIV vessel's AIS has been disabled for 6 hours?

I think the #SpartaIV ship will remain there this week as well. What's unusual is its constant movement.

Actually Sparta IV #SpartaIV 9743033 is kind of glad of 'looping' - have made several east and south of #Sicily #Italy prior to stay off #Sardinia. Usually close to or above subsea cables.
