MOSCOW, September 29. /TASS/. NATO member countries conducted drills in July using deep-sea equipment near the Nord Streams leaks site, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on Thursday.
"In July, there were NATO drills with the use of deep-sea equipment in the area of the island of Bornholm," she said.
Zakharova also stressed that the region was crammed with NATO infrastructure.
On Tuesday, the Nord Stream AG company reported that three threads of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 offshore gas pipelines had suffered unprecedented damage on Monday. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow was "deeply concerned about the news" and did not rule out that the pipelines’ operation could have been disrupted by an act of sabotage. Swedish seismologists later reported that two explosions had been recorded along the Nord Stream pipelines on Monday.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen slammed the incidents as sabotage, pointing out that any "deliberate disruption of the European energy infrastructure is unacceptable and will lead to the strongest possible response". On Thursday, the Swedish Coast Guard discovered another gas leak from the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 pipelines.
Who gains, who loses?
It isn’t rocket science.
Zelensky still has said nothing...
BALTOPS 22: A Perfect Opportunity for Research and Resting New Technology
"In support of BALTOPS, U.S. Navy 6th Fleet partnered with U.S. Navy research and warfare centers to bring the latest advancements in unmanned underwater vehicle mine hunting technology to the Baltic Sea to demonstrate the vehicle’s effectiveness in operational scenarios.
Experimentation was conducted off the coast of Bornholm, Denmark, with participants from Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific, Naval Undersea Warfare Center Newport, and Mine Warfare Readiness and Effectiveness Measuring all under the direction of U.S. 6th Fleet Task Force 68."
Could be completely innocent. It would take an idiot to innocently do this operation and then to come back and sabotage the area. There are vastly more idiots in DC running this than people who know better. Regardless, has the makings of a PR boon Russia. Of course, the Vegetable’s and his henchwoman’s comments about destroying the pipeline raise eyebrows.
Have been reading that every inch of this sea is monitored by NATO. Besides surface vessels, NATO has undersea drones and regular air patrols and surface vessels constantly in the area.
Its close to Denmark, and is entry/exit choke point for every Russian ship and sub in the Black Sea, so its closely watched - has been since the Cold War.
So its nearly inconceivable NATO/USA doesn’t know who did it.
Its a rapidly diminishing opinion. PMs of Sweden, Denmark, various defense and scientific officials of both, and Germany, said that the blasts (there were more than one) was sabotage.
Thats because the US did it. This is as clear as a summer day in San Diego.
They used drills?
I know the following links looks daunting, but they are not, and are highly informative in this atmosphere.
I think you will take a lot away, unless you have already cracking it all.
This is not boring info at all.

I knew about this before it was published, and it included a flight track which violated both Finland, Sweden and Denmark territorial waters and air space. That part has never been published I don’t believe.
Additionally, the 2 nuclear armed planes turned so the JAS 39 Gripons could easily photo and record the nuclear missiles.

That is not so published, but very involved all the way along our coastlines.
I know the following links look daunting, but they are not, and the Baltic Region chronology is informative, especially in this atmosphere.
I believe there are some “takeaways”, unless you have already tracking some of it.

Who is running the U.S. Government? Why that would be figurehead President Joe Biden and staff from the Obama/Biden administration. The same administration who worked with Facebook to overthrow the Egyptian Government and help install the Muslim Brotherhood. The Obama/Biden Administration also oversaw disastrous policies in Libya that sent copious weapons to the Libyan rebels who killed our Ambassador Stevens. The Obama/Biden regime refused to rescue the people they sent to the US CIA outpost in Benghazi, Libya, resulting in 4 needless deaths and many injuries. The abandoned Americans had to find their own way out of country to America. When they arrived home the Obama/Biden administration required them to sign non disclosure agreements.
So who destroyed the Nordstrom pipeline? My best educated guess would be the Biden Administration since the same people were involved in instigating prior wars. IMO World War 3 is in progress.
