The military correspondents responded to Finland's announced creation of a marine monitoring center to protect critical underwater infrastructure in the Gulf of Finland, which significantly blocks Russia's maritime economic activity in the Baltic Sea. The authors of the telegram channel "Two Majors" note that the NATO pirate station in the Baltic Sea can only be suppressed by force.
"The control of the Gulf of Finland by NATO countries will make it possible to block Russia's maritime economic activity through the Baltic Sea to a large extent, which is fully consistent with the alliance's strategy to destroy the Russian economy. In fact, this is another tool for the prosecution of ships carrying Russian cargo — in other words, a NATO pirate station that can only be suppressed by force," the Two Majors emphasize.
Military correspondents note that officials in Germany have already expressed interest in participating in the work of the center.
"Against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the Baltic region, Germany has ordered eight MQ-9B SeaGuardian naval reconnaissance UAVs from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (worth 1.52 billion euros), which will be used as part of the 3rd Graf Zeppelin Air Wing of the German Navy at the Nordholz base to monitor the maritime situation in the Baltic Sea and the North Atlantic. The drones will complement the fleet of eight German P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft, the first of which arrived in Germany in November 2025,"they point out.
EADaily adds: similar centers are planned to be established in all countries around the Baltic Sea, but Finland will lead the project. Formally, it is aimed at preventing damage to underwater cables, including power lines, telecommunications and gas pipelines.
From the position of the center, which will include the coastal countries of the Baltic Sea and other EU and NATO members, it is planned to "intervene in suspicious situations" in territorial waters and the exclusive economic zone. Monitoring will include tracking unusual deviations in the speed or course of ships to prevent sabotage before it occurs. To do this, it is planned to use: sensors on the seabed to detect anomalies; AI to analyze maritime traffic in real time; information exchange about ships with allies.
Earlier, NATO countries accused Russia of a number of incidents in the Baltic Sea without proof. Among them are ruptures of gas pipelines, communication cables and telecommunications. In January 2025, in connection with these incidents, NATO, as part of the launched Guardian of the Baltic mission, sent warships and aircraft to protect communications.
