After the information the indicated Russian oil tanker(Ns Concord) headed east.
at 22:53 it turned its transponder off and disappeared from the map

Have the Russians given up trying to get hold of the damaged submarine? or

One would wonder why they ever ran with the AIS on if they were engaged in any covert activity? The track does seem weird though and the fact that it was loitering the area and have been there since Wednesday does also seem odd. Although it could be some sort of mechanical malfunction.
Also, the operation have been intensified today and an alleged info leak seems to point to Swedish SigInt intercepting a distress call between a Russian submarine in the Stockholm archipelago and Kaliningrad. Ground forces are involved as well, searching for any possible crew members that have made it ashore.
