In some respects the “side story” of a Russian AGI, which is a floating intellgence gathering and electronics intercept station, entering a U.S. port is even more alarming. These are ocean going vessels that could easily move to safer waters to avoid the storm, which they had more than ample warning of. These ships are serious threats to our Navy, make no mistake about it.

The side story is more alarming.

The vessel is not the normal AGI that most people are used to. This is a sea going tug Sliva Class SB-406.

No true AGI would routinely transmit its position by sending weather that included its latitude and longitude. I've been tracking this vessel in Morse Code for months now. It passed through the English Channel and headed out into the Atlantic. It was probably deployed to monitor the X-37B launch and recovery into and out of Florida?

These are some examples of the Morse Code weather being transmitted by the vessel back in early October off Florida. At the time the X-37B was scheduled to be launched but was cancelled for a later date. RJQ84 is the vessel transmitting the weather and RIW is Moscow. The weather transmitted is international format. The following is the information stripped out to just the latitude and longitude, course speed group.

8345 Kilohertz

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 02001 99295 70781 22212 @0024Z

This equates to

29.5N 78.1W Heading North East at 6-10 Knots

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 01181 99293 70794 22212 @0007Z

This equates to

29.3N 79.4W Heading North East at 6-10 Knots

8345 RIW DE RJQ84 04001 99286 70784 22221 @0001Z

This equates to

28.6N 78.4W Heading East at 1-5 Knots
