Russian warships were in the area of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 underwater gas pipelines a few days before the explosions. This is written by the German portal t-online with reference to information from security circles and open data.
The grouping of Russian ships had the necessary equipment to install explosive devices. On September 26, explosions damaged the German-Russian gas pipelines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea.
Satellite photos show at least three suspicious ships that left the Russian naval base in Kaliningrad on the night of September 21. Three other ships of the Russian Navy could accompany the operation and provide military protection. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the Soobrazitelny corvette and the Yaroslav the Wise frigate were escorting a convoy of ships for training purposes.
The fact that it was mini-submarines that could place explosive charges on pipelines was suspected by experts from the very beginning. If it were confirmed that the SS-750 was red-handed, then the Russian fleet would now become the main suspect, the newspaper writes.
Recall that earlier The New York Times published an article citing sources and data from the intelligence community. It allegedly suggests that non-governmental groups, which could include Russians and Ukrainians, could be behind the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.
