German helicopter and Russian ship clash raises Baltic Sea security questions

German press agency dpa today shared info about weird Baltic Sea event — German military copter met Russian ship during its check-up flight (but defense ministry doesnt confirm anything)

The Russian ships crew supposedly used signal-ammo during this meet-up‚ which happened near the baltic waters. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock mentioned this thing real quick at NATO meeting in Brussels; however she didnt give more info

Putin is attacking our peace order with hybrid attacks

Baerbock wrote on X platform

This event comes right after some weird stuff in Baltic Sea: just few weeks ago two under-water cables got broken — one linking Finland-Germany another Sweden-Lithuania. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius thinks its not just random damage

Three countries started looking into this case and their eyes are on Chinese ship Yi Peng 3 that left Russian port Ust-Luga mid-november. Russia says they got nothing to do with broken cables; though NATO plans to watch Baltic area more careful now

  • Finland-Germany cable damage
  • Sweden-Lithuania connection break
  • Chinese ship Yi Peng 3 involvement
  • Multiple country investigation

The whole situation makes everyone think about whats really going on in Baltic Sea — with broken cables helicopter encounters and different countries getting mixed up in this super-complex puzzle
