Russia is behind the incidents during NATO's largest exercise, Trident Juncture. This conclusion can be drawn from the statement Prime Minister of Finland Juha Sipilä.

Finnish Premier and GPS System

In an interview with Yle, the Finnish Prime Minister suggested that Moscow may be behind the GPS system malfunctions that took place during the maneuvers.

“It is possible that Russia is behind such violations,” Sipilya said. At the same time, the politician did not provide any specific evidence, and clarified that the investigation has not yet been completed.

Despite this, the Finnish prime minister called Russia's alleged actions a "message" to all participants in the exercise.

A GPS malfunction occurred in a number of areas in Finland on November 6-7, and the local air navigation center notified pilots flying in the region. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing once again that no evidence of the "Russian trace" was presented.

Big teachings, big problems

NATO exercise Trident Juncture 2018 was held off the coast of Norway from October 25 to November 7. More than 45 thousand military personnel from 31 countries, 250 aircraft, 65 ships, as well as over 10 thousand units of military equipment took part in the exercises. According to the legend of the exercises, the combined forces are leading the defense against the fictional state of Murinus. They practiced air strikes, the transfer of troops by sea, as well as the landing of troops.

The largest contingents involved in the exercise were the forces of the United States (18,500 people), Germany (9,000 people) and Norway (6,800 people). According to NATO head Jens Stoltenberg, the exercises are not directed against a specific country, but send a signal that "NATO is ready and capable of protecting all allies from any threat."

They were accompanied by a number of incidents. In particular, a fire broke out on board the Canadian Navy frigate Halifax, due to which the ship stopped participating in the exercises for several hours. The Canadian Navy frigate Toronto experienced a power failure.

Four Swedish soldiers were hospitalized with various injuries after their car crashed into an Allied tank.

"The crew did not take action": who ditched the Norwegian frigate?

But the biggest incident was the collision of the Norwegian frigate Helge Ingstad with the Greek tanker TS Sola. A warship, heading to the base after the end of the exercise, went across the tanker with the transponder turned off. Due to the damage received, the $ 650 million frigate was in danger of sinking. As a result, the crew had to run the Helge Ingstad aground in order to preserve the chances of its salvation.

At the same time, the damage received by the frigate is such that the question of whether the ship is subject to repair remains open.

Almost immediately after the incident, conspiracy theories appeared in a number of Norwegian media outlets that "Russian hackers" could be behind the accident.

However, unlike the Finns, in Norway, at least so far, officials have not seized on this version. The fact is that the available information does not point to hackers, but to the carelessness of the crew. Thus, it became known that the Helge Ingstad crew had been informed several times about a dangerous approach to the tanker. At the same time, the sailors were directly indicated in which direction a safe maneuver could be made.

“The crew did not take the necessary measures to avoid a collision. The ship did not have a clear understanding of the operational situation in the water area in which "Helge Ingstad" was located. “TS Sola” informed Ingstad several times, also duplicating signals about a dangerous approach to the coastal services, ”reads the preliminary report of the commission to investigate the incident.

The frigate commander explains his inaction by the fact that the evasive maneuver could lead to the collision of the frigate with the rocks. But experts believe that if measures were taken in a timely manner, Helge Ingstad could easily have avoided trouble.

The command of the Norwegian Navy is stingy with comments. It is understandable - because of what happened, someone will have to say goodbye to high positions.

The fashion for statements about "Russian interference" began in the United States after the 2016 presidential elections. Since then, the search for a "Russian trace" in any incidents in Western countries has not stopped. It seems that now it has become a universal means of avoiding responsibility for their own mistakes.
