  rather unlikely that a ship used for such an attack would make itself visible via AIS given that this isn't even mandatory to begin with.

    not only is it not mandatory, it's fairly easily spoofed and has been for the sake of subterfuge in the past[0] [0]: https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D27-4E9C-8CD3-CF6E4FF96FF9%7D/s_2019_171.pdf https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/atf/cf/%7B65BFCF9B-6D2...

  Are we gonna do the thing where anyone who says Putin can't do whatever he wants is "in the CIA" and thus suspect and force autistic teens to look up publicly available vessel navigation data with a glorified set of links over a Youtube that is a Bellingcat cert? This is a war, it's time to let military intelligence talk to whichever reporter they picked up at the start of their tour in a bar to feed the good leads and maybe wait a day or two for things that can wait.
