Hmmm... I wonder how many of these ships are roaming around in the West..
German authorities have detained the cargo vessel “Scanlark” on suspicion of espionage and possible sabotage after an operation in the Kiel Canal, according to Spiegel on September 8.
Special police units boarded the 75-meter vessel on September 7, carrying out a search that lasted into the following day. The operation was part of an ongoing investigation into suspected intelligence activities threatening Germany’s critical maritime infrastructure, Spiegel reported.
According to Kieler Nachrichten, security measures included shutting down public webcams along the canal and restricting access to the vessel from the shore. Divers were also deployed to examine the ship’s hull.
Prosecutors in Flensburg and the criminal police of Schleswig-Holstein stated there are grounds to believe that on August 26, a drone was launched from the Scanlark. Investigators suspect it flew over a German Navy vessel to collect reconnaissance imagery.

Poland has invoked Article 4.
I am wondering if this will be justification to open up the conversation again about enacting a no-fly zone over Western Ukraine (and freeing up a bunch of Ukrainian assets to concentrate eastward).
19 drones violating their airspace is unacceptable, intentional or not. Those are flying bombs.
