High Tension at Baltic Sea: Polish fighter STOPPED Russian Su-35 over Putin's shadow fleet tanker

In this video, we will recount the dramatic incident involving the Russian shadow tanker Jaguar in the Gulf of Finland, Estonia’s attempt to halt it, and the Russian Su-35 and Polish MiG-29 confrontation. We will also discuss Germany’s separate operation to seize a Russian tanker, known as Eventin, and how this exemplifies the West’s strategy against Moscow’s “Shadow Fleet.” Finally, we will connect these events to broader Baltic Sea tensions, ongoing sanctions, and the geopolitical ripple effects on Europe.
