estonia, finland - Russia's involvement in the shadow fleet and troop buildup near Finland sparks questions. Estonian forces intercepted a sanctioned tanker as a Russian Su-35 flew nearby, signaling potential escalation. Military developments near Finland follow warnings post-NATO expansion.

Russian Fighter Jet in Estonian Airspace

Russia's recent show of involvement in the shadow fleet and military presence near Finland has raised alarms about President Putin's intentions. The incident in Estonian airspace, where a Russian Su-35 jet flew close to a sanctioned tanker, has drawn attention to potential escalations in the region.

Estonian Encounter with Russian Jet

On May 13, Estonian authorities contacted the Jaguar, an EU-sanctioned oil tanker, when a Russian Su-35 jet unexpectedly flew through Estonian airspace. A video of the encounter, verified by CNN, captures the radio communication between Estonian authorities and the tanker's crew, signaling a concerning development.

Shift in Russian Policy

The Estonian Foreign Minister and experts like Ed Arnold note a significant shift in the Kremlin's approach, possibly in response to NATO activities in the region. The move is seen as a signal to NATO countries, raising questions about potential confrontations over sanctioned vessels.

Military Buildup Near Finland

Russia's bolstered military presence near Finland, with new infrastructure and troop deployments, follows Finland's NATO accession. Satellite images reveal new facilities and increased activity, prompting concerns about regional security.

Regional Response and Preparedness

In response, Finland is enhancing border security, defense cooperation, and considering defensive measures like reintroducing anti-personnel mines. The country's proactive approach aims to deter conventional and hybrid threats, making any potential aggression less appealing for Russia.

Implications and Expert Analysis

While Russia focuses on Ukraine, the buildup near Finland signals broader intentions to test Western resolve. The combination of military expansion and support for the shadow fleet appears to be part of a strategy to challenge Western unity and assess deterrence capabilities.
