The location of that AIS plot I saw (once but couldn't repeat) was roughly where the magenta dot is just S of odessa. It now seems to be labelled "high speed craft".
There's no way on earth jackups are positioned where the above post suggests, water is FAR too deep.m.
Addendum.
As per the post below that is as far as I can tell exactly where I saw the last pre-sinking posn. of the Moskva and corroborated by the AIS plot of tugs and special vessels. In around 100m of water only.
it certainly could be too far south - just don’t know. There was a Turkish flagged ship nearby that heard the SOS and picked up some of the crew. At that time - the Turkish flagged Fatih was right near that location. Once the sun came up - FORTE10 was in the air and spent considerable time over that precise location. Quite a few of the OSINT guys on twitter picked it apart pretty good.
i guess we’ll find out eventually.
