Traces of explosives found at Nord Stream pipelines, confirming 'gross sabotage,' Sweden says

Next you want the names of the divers.Sure you not with the KGB?
A navy seal is a navy diver btw
There is a huge difference and for a story that is so "detailed" and relies on the detail, then it is specific to which Naval diving unit it is.

Nice..
you heading the right direction...as long as you agree it was them, you're good.The truth is rarely pure and never simple.
 
My thinking is that America has nothing to gain from blowing the pipeline. There was no gas flowing anyway. So what have they achieved with this daring plan? It's at best a temporary closure of the pipe. If Russia wanted gas flowing through it, the damaged would already be repaired. Nobody has claimed responsibility so it couldn't be for propaganda purposes. That leads to only one conclusion....

The bloody Israelis doing a training exercise!

With seawater entering into the pipe it's done untold damage.
 
The damage is very localized. The interior has a protective lining.
 
I wonder how Elon's research is coming along with the brain implants? Anyone for a pod of mind altered dolphins planting bombs?
 
You said the pipe was empty yet 500 million cubic meters of gas was lost,
Pipeline is kept pressurised for structural integrity.

It was confirmed at the time that no gas was flowing, it was only pressurised. This is done by closing valves at a point. Gazprom would have closed a valve to stop the supply.

They lose 500 million cubic meters of gas and pipeline possibly irrepairable. Your version is much much more far-fetched than Hersh.... Anyway you're entitled to it.

Pipeline is repairable.

0.25% of the annual supply capacity of the pipe was lost. That is sweet FA in context.
 
The depth is 110m. A submarine can easily operate at that depth, without detection.

In the 1970's a US submarine tapped into a Soviet communication cable at a depth of 120m. It went undetected for years. It was only discovered when a a NSA operative for the US leaked the intel to the Soviets in 1980.
the draft of your typical sub is 10m with at least another 10m beam, i.e. the top of the sub would have been at most 90m from the surface, less actually to account for the tower

close enough that it can be spotted in daylight from the air with the naked eye

then, again, factor in that this is a sea actively monitored for subs because of Russia's fleet in the vicinity

you CANNOT steer ANY sub through a 90m depth in the north sea without being spotted ... e.g. https://www.navylookout.com/royal-n...ubmarines-from-the-arctic-into-the-north-sea/

btw, check your calendar, it is not 1970 anymore and we are not talking about soviet era detection, we're talking about the paranoid countries of the north sea looking for the evil Russians 24/7

In 1970, Russia had an entire Navy dedicated to guarding their coastline against US submarines. Actively searched for submarines all day, with air patrols and they still couldn't find the sub right against their coast line on top of a critical communication cable.

So why would Denmark and Sweden be expending daily resources worrying about a fellow Allied submarine?

The Royal Navy detected that submarine with a towed array in the Arctic sea. It was then follwed into the North Sea ...

they're trying to detect Russian subs, they can't control fate itself and affect which nation's sub they detect first, they are looking for ALL subs in order to catch Russian subs

how is this hard to understand?
 
confessing to be the one so touched on their studio they had to mash a report button to call mommy?

:cool:
I have never reported any of your posts, your own words expose you far better than I ever could.
