But if they knew they were laying explosives, would they really do so with their AIS transponder on?

What have you seen in previous Russian operations would make you think they wouldn’t? Competence has not been a hallmark for a long time.

Yeah the comments arguing about missing ship data make no sense, of course the perpetrators would have tried to cover their tracks.

It was a commercial ship that had just left port in the Netherlands -- it feels like it'd be twice as suspicious if it spent a week adjacent to a shipping lane, in full view of other ships with its transponder off.
