I can confirm about a recent attempted ship hijacking near Iran. Sauce: my SIL works for an international merchant marine staffing company in Europe. She told me about the attempted hijacking before it hit the news.
A kamikaze drone was used to try to hijack an israeli ship called Mercer Street. The drone blew up, killed the Romanian captain, and a British crew member, and took out all comms on the ship. The ship somehow still made it to Fujeirah in the Emirates. The staffing company decided to relieve the crew after what happened, and the replacement crew flew in today.
I saw the pics of the burning ship. It wasn't pretty.
Good first hand news fren.
Heard on radio in car earlier today about two ships.. an oil tanker and one hauling asphalt or something like that were radioing out that they do not have control of their ships but, at the time no further information' The guy said that that usually means that the ship is without power and drifting though, if they are like the evergiven maybe they really have "lost control of them" or maybe pirates have control of them? Anyone have any further updates? Maybe someone dropped a EMP out in the waters there and killed electronics to have several ships go dead at once, the sun maybe did it?
A possible test run of some tech to knock out Western Navy's maybe?
I believe that the demonstration of the ability to hack GPS / Nav systems was this incident with the USS No Name back in 2017. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uss-john-s-mccain-collides-merchant-ship/
Does this have something to do with forced shortages?
Scattered and unconfirmed reports are that at least one was reportedly hijacked by elements of either the Iranian Military or an Iranian backed Militia.
Another reportedly hit a mine and lost their steering.
Other 4 theres no news on.
Some reports also indicate Naval Engagements with the Iranian Navy. With the reported belligerents being Elements of the U.S Navy, Royal Navy, and Israeli Navy versus the Iranian Navy.
All of these remain unconfirmed though. Just rumors circulating.
I also have this pet peeve
