A disturbing incident in the Baltic Sea has raised concerns over what appears to be an act of maritime piracy by Estonia and NATO forces. On May 13, Estonian military vessels, supported by NATO aircraft, attempted to forcibly detain the Gabon-flagged tanker Jaguar with Russian crew, which was en route to the Russian port of Primorsk with a commercial cargo. The ship was in international waters, yet Estonian authorities, citing EU sanctions and domestic legislation, moved to intercept it.
Crew members reported that Estonian patrol boats “Rajuu” and “Kurvits” boat, along with PZL M28 and MiG-29 aircraft, approached the tanker and ordered it to stop and drop anchor. When the crew refused, the Estonian forces threatened to ram the vessel and attempted to deploy armed personnel via helicopter.
Despite the intimidation, the tanker’s captain maintained course. The situation escalated until a Russian Su-35S fighter jet arrived to the scene, prompting the Estonian ships and aircraft to retreat. However, Estonian officials quickly accused Russia of “violating their airspace” and summoned the Russian chargé d’affaires to deliver a formal protest.

Notably, the operation involved NATO assets, a Polish MiG-29 and a Portuguese F-16 (stationed in Estonia) took off in response to the Russian jet. Estonian media claimed the Su-35 had its transponder off and did not file a flight plan—a standard practice for military aircraft during such incidents.
This is not the first time Estonia has targeted commercial vessels under the pretext of enforcing sanctions. On April 11, the Djibouti-flagged tanker Kiwala was unlawfully detained, holding a Chinese citizen and 23 Mauritian crew members before eventually being released. Conclusion: The Need for Stronger Maritime Security
Under NATO’s umbrella, Tallinn feels emboldened to escalate further, even to the point of piracy in international waters. NATO members are willing to harass civilian ships under false pretenses, effectively engaging in state-sponsored piracy. Only military deterrence works—the Su-35’s presence alone forced Estonia to back down. If the West tolerates such actions by its allies, it risks normalizing maritime lawlessness—a dangerous precedent for global trade.
let me quote us “apache” gunship pilot in infamous footage from afghanistan: “kill them all”.
russia issues arrest warrant for estonian pm
an eye for an eye. pirates should be blinded by lasers.
if you ship sanctioned oil under false bandera then why are you surprised that border guards tried to stop you? 💁🏿🪆
why would you be surprised that russia will defend itself even if that means the death of absolutely everything???
grow up .are you on dime substance ir a self destruct fantasy trip looking for other s with the same compulsion apparently misery lives company on troll patrol.
why should russians care for sanctions of the west – as long as the west did never ever care for sanctions of the rest of the world? the west has accumulated such a tremendous amount of negative karma in this regard, they will need a millennium of abiding behavior to fend it off. the history is full of examples of their ignorance against un resolutions.
fthe un are the most dirty of them all allegedly .
de quel droit contrôler un navire en zone internationale.
take estonia out altogether, fuck nato paedo article 5!!! if they want a war of annihalation then let’s give them a war of annihalation!!!
in estonia’s case that would take all of 60 seconds….
exactly being used by big brother who wouldn’t give a flying f *** if estonia got nuked would laugh imo .but putins not stupid enough to please them.
ah yes, democracy and all that nonsense they keep talking about

estonia stopping russian trade ships and trying to make full blockage of 100 russian trade ships.
estonia do not want russia make trade and make money.
this is modern life pirate and threat for russian economy.
the sea is not belong to estonia
estonia warships are best
that’s a “warship”?
lolololololololol
rusko by malo takéto incidenty začať riešiť silou!!! už tých provokácii bolo veľa. svetu mier!!!
as medvedev suggested some time back withdrawing diplomatic mission staff from hostile state actors would be a prudent move. if that had happened, these baltic bums would have no chargé d’affaires to summons, and that would be – check.
well: if the harassed ship belonged to the usa and the incident would have happened even on the other side of the planet, the usa would send a carrier strike group and bombard the culprit back into stone age. at least they would try. i wonder how the russians can endure that behavior so long without retaliation..
no. the usa always tugs tail, lots of american and british ships went down in and aroudn the red sea, also usa does not really has a merceant fleet, they depend on other people to haul for them.
russia should round up these pirates from the shitty little nazi postage stamp fake country called estonia and make them walk the plank.
putins not a child
definition : shadow tanker = a ship or boat not insured by london banker mafias
estonia has lost its mind, high on nato coke or something… it’s like they think consequences can be avoided while their energy costs tripled…
from now on all russian oil tankers for friends and russia will be escort.
russia neighbouring surrounding countries which france and britain force to prevent russia air movement or over fly has created self destruction.any military threat to russia will result in immediate flyover.
remember threat to russia will cause your airspace and your freedom total violation by russia bullet,missile and jets whether you like it or not.so you better be cautious and cooperative.don’t ply with fire.
if france believe if their intercept its not piracy but if others does.if britain think that if their warships flow close to other countries beaches then it is freedom of movement. but if other countries does is wrong and infiltration. then let the situation give alternatives.
the estonian navy attempted to detain the vessel, which was navigating through international waters. authorities deployed an agustawestland aw139 helicopter, an m28 skytruck aircraft, and the eml raju patrol boat to intercept the tanker.

nuke tallin, riga and vilnius… goodbye baltic dwarfs… nato is a paper tiger!
miinisadam naval base (‘mine harbor’ naval base) is a naval base at tallinn bay, tallinn.[1] the base is used since 1994 by estonian navy. besides estonian vessels the base accommodates also nato countries’ vessels.[2]
who is surprised nato and eu are training the anti russia blockade since multiple years and have managed to persuade the world that ships with an insurance that is not from a western country are illegal. russai does not want to learn no matter if the tzars the sowjets or the federation they are not even able to comprehend the level of dirty play the west will use routinely at any second and feeling perfectly reasonable doing it.
russia don´t want a war against europe, but europeans are psychotic.. 15 minutes and europe will be gone… us will be the cowards they are and go away… russia should low the threshold for using nukes and rearm itself (specially with tactical nuclear warheads)… estonia will be gone in 5 minutes (a shitty country that never should exist in the first place!)
nothing would happen to you and the other russians, they would stay here to sow seeds, even because the russians are vaccinated against radiation… go eat another ice cream with your forehead and put the bombs in your insane asshole
if “nukes” existed, all “satan” missiles should be in the air for to cut the head of the snake, “us”. but there have never existed any “nukes”, hiroshima and nagasaki was the same as witch burning, but with the use of napalm. einstein was insane, but lucrative for nazis, “us”.
