Russia accused of forging Black Sea tanker sites

Reports have indicated that Russia is employing advanced methods to deceive Black Sea oil tanker tracking systems in order to hide their routes. This is part of Moscow's efforts to maintain control over sanctioned oil carriers, protect its interests from military attacks, and evade Western sanctions. The tactics include broadcasting fake fixed locations using identical devices, changing the ships' flags to Russian or other countries' flags, and sending false signals while passing through the Bosporus Strait. Additionally, there is a repetition of the fake coordinates on multiple ships to create confusion. These measures have increased to better safeguard Russian assets, especially as Ukraine and its allies escalate their efforts to disrupt Russian oil exports by targeting ships and altering their identities. It has been confirmed that over 80 ships changed their flags to the Russian flag between July and September of the past year.
