Russian electronic warfare disrupts navigation of own shadow tanker
The 'Pate', belonging to the Russian “shadow fleet”and sailing under the flag of Sierra Leone, began transmitting unusual navigation data after entering the Baltic Sea, on June 22 , 2026. The vessel’s route began appearing with noticeable deviations after it entered the Baltic Sea. The tanker’s track showed abrupt changes in position and sections that did not match normal vessel movement. The cause could have been an interference with, or spoofing of, satellite navigation signals, which is regularly recorded near Russia’s Kaliningrad region. The ships’ navigation systems usually return to normal after leaving the affected area; however, in the case of the 'Pate', the consequences appeared to last longer. As of the afternoon of June 23, the tanker’s navigation systems still had not recovered. The 'Pate' was involved in exports of Russian oil and petroleum products that bypass restrictions imposed by the G7 and its partners. It has been used for shipments from Russian Baltic Sea ports, switching off its AIS and manipulating navigation systems near the port of Ust-Luga. Greenpeace also classified the ship as part of the shadow fleet.
