Estonian Navy Attempts to Intercept Tanker in Baltic Sea

Russian sources report that the Estonian Navy tried to intercept the tanker JAGUAR, sailing under the Gabonese flag, as it passed through international waters in the Gulf of Finland en route to the Russian port of Primorsk.

Video footage shows Estonian forces ordering the ship to change course. An AgustaWestland AW139 helicopter, an M28 Skytruck aircraft, and the Estonian Navy patrol boat EML Raju (P6732) approached the vessel at close range.

A Russian Su-35S fighter jet reportedly arrived to support the tanker. The crew ignored Estonian demands, and the interception attempt failed.
