Russian Warship Reportedly Fired 'Signal Ammunition' at German Military Helicopter Over Baltic
(4 de Dezembro de 2024)

Limited details are presently available regarding the incident, which was apparently revealed by the German Foreign Minister at a NATO Meeting in Brussels.

Speaking on the fringes of the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting held in Brussels from Dec. 3 to Dec. 4, 2024, German Minister of Foreign Affairs Annalena Baerbock spoke of an incident where a Russian warship operating in the Baltic Sea fired 'signal ammunition' at a German military helicopter. The helicopter was conducting a reconnaissance mission, though it was not revealed which type of helicopter was involved.

'Signal ammunition' likely means the use of a signal flare. While not designed as a weapon, signal flares burn at temperatures in the thousands of degrees and can be dangerous when misused. Ships (and aircraft) routinely carry signal flares for emergency communications and, sometimes, for providing a source of illumination.

Beyond the comment made at the NATO meeting, no further statements have been made about the event and no timeframe has been established, making it difficult to investigate using maritime AIS and aircraft tracking platforms.

Ainda está tudo no diz que disse e não é possível saber o que realmente aconteceu até os alemães explicarem o caso

A Russian warship has fired warning shots at a German helicopter carrying out patrols over the Baltic Sea, it has been reported.

The crew of the Russian ship fired signal ammunition, the German Press Agency in Brussels has learned.
According to the German newspaper Bild, the warning shots were fired at the Nato reconnaissance aircraft but this is yet to be confirmed.
Signal ammunition is used for warning shots rather than attack, but this sort of incident is a sign of how close Nato and Russia are getting to facing each other directly.
German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock mentioned the incident at a Nato meeting but did not give further details.
However, a spokesperson for the German ministry of defence has so far been unable to confirm the reports of signal ammunition being fired.
It follows a dramatic escalation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict over the past two weeks with both the UK and US giving approval for Kyiv to fire western-made missiles over the border.

É natural que esta gente esteja com os nervos à flor-da-pele e os russos vão fazer tudo o que for possível para criarem incidentes, de forma a aparecerem como vítimas dos malvados invasores decadentes e prevertidos ocidentais.

Provavelmente o incidente mais grave, desde o quase ataque ao avião de reconhecimento e vigilância da Royal Air Force.

NATO: There was officially a Russian plot to kill European weapons chief
Senior alliance official tells European Parliament about Kremlin threats to Europe.

January 28, 2025 1:29 pm CET
By Csongor Körömi
A senior NATO official has confirmed that there was a Russian scheme to kill Armin Papperger, the head of German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall.

The plot, which was foiled by United States and German intelligence, was part of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe, according to NATO Deputy Assistant Secretary-General for Innovation, Hybrid, and Cyber James Appathurai.

It is the first time a senior NATO, German or American official has confirmed on the record that there was a plot to kill Papperger, which was widely reported on by global media outlets in July 2024.

“We have seen incidents of sabotage taking place across NATO countries over a period of the last couple of years, by which I mean derailment of trains, acts of arson, attacks on politicians’ property, plots to assassinate industry leaders, like publicly the head of Rheinmetall, but there were other plots as well,” Appathurai told a European Parliament committee meeting on hybrid warfare Tuesday morning.

According to Appathurai, the Russians recruit personnel for their plots online, using “criminal gangs or unwitting youth or migrants” to carry out the criminal acts.

“They are generally crudely done, but they are done with a purpose, which is to create disquiet to undermine support for Ukraine,” the NATO official added.

Western allies have been supporting Ukraine with weapons for years as it attempts to fend off Russian President Vladimir Putin's ongoing full-scale invasion.

Appathurai told the members of the European Parliament that Russia's strategic doctrine is to achieve victory through political victory, “using whatever tools you have,” including damage to infrastructure or political interference.

Appathurai said that Europe needs to get out of its “boiling frog” mentality and echoed NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, who said in a speech last December it's time to shift to a “wartime mindset.”

“The secretary-general said in his first speech that we need a war mentality, including because there is a continuous and escalating campaign of destabilization against all of our countries.  Up to and including sabotage,” Appathurai told POLITICO after the hearing.
