Following a series of mystery fires at European cargo depots in July, recent satellite images of fires in the Black Sea have prompted Western analysts to link these incidents to potential Russian sabotage plots.
Authorities allege these were a test run for future attacks on Western cargo planes, particularly those en route to the US. Citing patterns in the timing and location of these incidents, intelligence officials allege that Russia could be evaluating the effectiveness of incendiary devices.Authorities allege these were a test run for future attacks on Western cargo planes, particularly those en route to the US. Citing patterns in the timing and location of these incidents, intelligence officials allege that Russia could be evaluating the effectiveness of magnesium-fuelled incendiary devices.
Intelligence sources have also indicated that Russian operatives might be testing methods to disrupt Western supply chains, particularly those that support Ukraine.
Given this newfound evidence, the West, including the US, has serious cause for concern. These devices were likely intended to target flights to America, which shows how emboldened and aggressive Moscow has become in its fight against Western interests. If one of these devices detonates mid-air, the consequences could be catastrophic.
