If three thugs says they're going to burn your car, and then your car burns...

Who did it?

[Wallace T.]

The attack on the pipelines was almost certainly done by a NATO power, perhaps Poland, the U.S., or Britain, or a combination of the three. The Danish coast guard would probably have been aware of the attack. Putin has escalated the Ukrainian-Russian war by annexing eastern Ukraine and mobilizing the reserves. Destroying the NordStream pipelines takes away Russian leverage against Germany. It looks like the West is escalating to counter Russia.

The MH-60S will utilize the BAE Systems Archerfish remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to seek out and destroy naval mines from the air.

Selected as a concept in 2003 by the Navy as part of the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) program and developed since 2007, the Archerfish is dropped into the water from its launch cradle, where its human operator remotely guides it down towards the mine using a fiber optics communications cable that leads back up to the helicopter. Using sonar and low-light video, it locates the mine, and is then instructed to shoot a shaped charge explosive to detonate it.

BAE was awarded a contract to build and deliver the ROVs in April 2016.

[The USN is now up to the Mark 18 Mod 2 “Kingfish.” ROV is out of use, now it’s UUV.]
