This is my initial thread which provides evidence in support of Hersh's claims re the Nordstream pipeline.

1. Now I will explore some of the claims and counterclaims regarding certain details in his article.
2. On amount of explosives needed to cut pipeline

70 kg

This is necessary to assess the feasibility, manpower and platform used for diving and placing the charges

3. More OSINT research into the pipeline and the charges and possible platforms used

from @WAJKoenitz

4. RHIB Boats from Oksay Class minesweeper?

(not Altay Class as Hersh claimed)

No need for 400 kg of explosives as rumored somewhere. The amount needed fits into a RHIB boat. It could also do multiple tours, to attach even more

5. Oksay Class Minesweeper was used during BALTOPS 2022 and was tracked near to explosion location (7 to 8 km away)

6. The presence of Norwegian minesweeper M343 Hinnoy (MMSI: 259019000), near location of the pipeline in June 2022 (BALTOPS) confirmed by another source who tries to debunk Hersh for calling it Alta Class (easy mistake to make as they are very similar)

7. Similarities between Alta & Oksøy class Ships

"The Alta class minesweeper is a ship class of minesweepers operated by the Royal Norwegian Navy. An almost identical class of minehunters is known as the Oksøy class"

Spot the Difference?

warsearcher.com/shipsearcher/r… ImageImage
8. Obviously, Hersh's source was not a Norwegian ship spotter....

I don't think this is a good reason to discredit his article, despite many attempts to do so by the usual suspects. Image

27. Hersh Map Issue

The map supplied to illustrate the article does say "MAP is NOT EXACT" ;) but even so, there are some glaring errors picked up by anti Hershians



As we can see, Hersh (or his Map editor) confused a naval base with an air base(Rygge) ImageImageImage
28. I understand that such an error will send anal retentive obsessives into a paroxysm of fury, but I don't feel it detracts significantly from the most important claims in his article.

How about you? Image
29. The Biggie - The Poseidon P8 issue

This is quite complex!

Hersh's article first mentions a Norwegian Air Force P8 but then says it was a Norwegian Navy P8 that initiated the explosions via sonar buoy

seymourhersh.substack.com/p/how-america-… ImageImageImageImage
30. The Problem...



So, the P8 in question (near the explosion locations) was not a Norwegian Air Force (or Navy as they don't use them) P8 but rather a US P8

The exact timing of the US P8 flight is disputed as we shall see
31. Time of the Explosions (Danish Summer Time)

"EUS registered 2 tremors in the Baltic Sea on the night of Monday 26 September at 02.03 & at 19.03, both Danish summer time. The times and locations match the gas leaks from Nord Stream 1 and 2"

geus.dk/om-geus/nyhede… ImageImageImage
32. Possible 3rd Blast at 19:03 on 26th September

geus.dk/om-geus/nyhede…
33. The "recorded" Path of the US P8 with Times

Arriving near Bornholm Island at 01:00 AM UTC

(if all is as it appears to be, of course)

globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae6851&l…

Compare to Danish Time, etc.

I am taking a break, to be continued Image
34. Although times are disputed, question remains

Why would a US P8 be on a pre-planned flight path from way up North fly parallel to Bornholm island and the area of the sabotaged pipelines on the same day as the explosions (02:03 local time CEST and 19:03 pm)? Image
35. "Just a Routine Flight" from Iceland?

Very convenient!

39. "Routine Flights"?

@Erkperk points out that he can find no P8 flights before September 23 and no P8 flights on 27th

40. Moving onto question of Norwegian Air Force P8s

Some claimed they were not ready for deployment until Summer 2023

5 Norwegian Air Force P8s are based at Evenes Air Field.

Evenes Airfield also can be used by US Navy P8s under US- Norway Agreement.

key.aero/article/norway…
41. Some delays...

"The latest is that the first plane will take off from Evenes in early June (2022). In August next year (2023), P-8 Poseidon will take over the operations of the old maritime patrol aircraft P-3 Orion, which is based on Andøya"

49. Conclusion about Norwegian Air Force P8s

Planes operational although full deployment in Summer 2023

Thus claim that they were not operational is false

64. Dribs and Drabs

I get the feeling that Hersh is releasing nuggets of information from his wee hoard of secrets

He played his first cards in the substack but may have a few aces up his sleeve for the endgame

Obviously he knew the US administration would deny everything Image

92. Swedish Navy Activity in the days before 💣💣

@dagensnyheter mapped ship movements of the Swedish Navy in the area where the explosions on the gas pipelines Nord Stream 1 and 2 took place.

web.archive.org/web/2022093015… Image
93. Swedish Navy (2)

At 11 a.m. on Thursday 22nd September, the Swedish Navy's ships left the port in Karlskrona. Barely two hours later, the ships are in place at the very northern area where three gas leaks are found four days later.
94. Swedish Navy (3)

After that, the movement data ceases at 13, probably because the AIS transmitter on board is switched off to hide the ship's movements. For the next 22 hours, Navy ships apparently do not want to reveal their exact position via AIS.
95. Swedish Navy (4)

At 11 o'clock on Friday morning, the ship is some kilometers west of the location of the 3 gas leaks. They then steer towards Simrishamn for a short lunch break. At 18:00 they stop transmitting AIS data, then they are at location of the northern gas leaks.
96. Swedish Navy (5)

At 23.56 on Friday evening, the movement data is broadcast again. Then the navy's ship surprisingly finds itself in a new position. Now they are in the southern area where the fourth gas leak will later be discovered.
97. Swedish Navy (6)

The navy's ship then drives north on Bornholm's western side to return to the more northern area where three gas leaks are later found. At 12:13 on Saturday, ships stop transmitting position data in this area.
98. Swedish Navy (7)

The journalists interviewed Swedish Navy's press manager, "Jimmie Adamsson", who refused to say what kind of ship was deployed from Thursday to Saturday at Bornholm. He also refused to say why they were in the area where the gas pipelines run on those days
99. Swedish Navy (8)

All @jimmieadamsson would say was:

"We carry out maritime surveillance with various types of vessels. It can be anything from corvettes & minesweepers to HMS Carlskrona"

120. I will return to that article later, in the meantime something much more interesting:

An informative thread by resident Engineer @Erkperk

Especially interesting is the analysis of civilian shipping & possible diversions in the area at the time.

121. A new Hersh interview with @rustyrockets

122. An anti-Hershian "OSINT" analysis by @OAlexanderDK this time focusing on the minesweepers during BALTOPS22, where he cleverly buries the movements of Oksay-class minesweeper, the M343 Hinnoy among a barrage of irrelevance

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/debunking-se…
123. M343 Hinnoy was deployed during BALTOPS22

We certainly don't need a jumped up OSINT stooge to manage the information for us.

His claim that it was not close enough to the explosion sites is disputed as he fails to take into account its two fast ROV boats for diving ops ImageImageImage
124. Claim by @OAlexanderDK

"The M343 Hinnøy was present at BALTOPS22, but not over the sites"

However, as pointed out by @EvanField11 and others, this completely disregards the use of an underwater support vessel like the SDV (SEAL Delivery Vehicle) being deployed Image
125. Overlay of Google Earth GPS coordinates

by @EvanField11 showing:

Demark, route & Exfil area accounting for a 10-hour operation using a deck deployable mini sub. The ship was equipped with a decompression chamber to avoid issues from a prolonged dive.

"Completely Doable" Image
126. KNM Hinnoy tracked near both sabotage locations @4demonde

"the KNM Hinnøy operated next to Nord Stream 1"

If it used mobile diver teams from the 2 boats, then the KNM Hinnoy was effectively right over the target, exactly where it have to be. Image
127. Strange Manoeuvers

Hinnoy "slowed its course near first 2 sites where a team with under water support vessels may have been deployed & that unusually long loitering pattern next to the third site could be waiting for the team to finish & rendezvous with them" @EvanField11 ImageImage
128. Questions

1. What would be the purpose of strange pattern of loitering near the 3rd site?

@DonaldSpons

2. Do you think any Navy ship would conduct covert operations & not plan for dealing with AIS?

@bwolman
·
3. Do you have tracking of Hinnøy's ROVs at these times?
129. More Questions for @OAlexanderDK

From @bwolman

"How about doing useful research, such as providing whereabouts of the minesweepers equipped with AUVs to detect pipeline sabotage, from Jan to June, when Hersh claims Norwegians determined best place to sabotage pipelines?
130, Looks like its time to haul in a NATO OSINT Stooge to answer some questions about Hinnøy!

183. Belos (1)

Thanks to dynamic positioning, Belos does not need to anchor, but can lie still over, for example, an accident site through a combination of GPS, gyrocompass and rudder and bow thrusters.

184. Belos (2)

Can carry out diving & underwater work with underwater craft

Specialised in Submarine rescue

Equipped with a pressure chamber system for decompression of rescued submarine crew

It has a helipad in the bow

217. Own Goal?

If @OAlexanderDK theory is correct then US P8 arrival time issue resolved as no need to trigger anything at 00:03 on 26th

It also supports either Russia or US triggering 2nd NS explosions to avoid detection of previously placed charges

Image
218. @Olexander theory in detail

That NS2 leak was caused by catastrophic rupture rather than explosive sabotage

228. A quick break from things that go boom to ships that recover things that didn't go boom...

interesting cutting edge research thread by @Erkperk

So what did HMSws #BELOS do on Oct 29 2022, if not picking up unexploded bombs?

229. The Devil is in the Details

Solitaire vs Pioneering Spirit

Good to see @OAlexanderDK being fact checked and found wanting by @Peter_Dunn2

Especially after his constant attacks on Hersh ;)

230. This is getting extremely complex...

@OAlexanderDK also seems to be in the process of discarding his hypothesis, unless I am mistaken

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/was-the-nord…

just goes to show how complex this investigation is! Image
231. God Bless @archiveis

Luckily there is an archive of his "out of date" hypothesis claiming an accidental rupture of NS2 in Danish EEZ (00:03 explosion), so you can review his claims and supporting evidence without having to subscribe

archive.ph/HtPK2
232. Problems with @oalexander hypothesis

1. There was a further NS2 pipe A leak 29/09/2022 about 1.5km from the Swedish EEZ NS1 explosions.

It stretches the imagination that the 1st NS2 southern explosion was an accident & the later one due to sabotage or another "accident" ImageImageImageImage
233. Problems (2)

"Both Swedish & Danish seismic measurements show 2 explosions on the seabed, but the 2nd explosion gives more complex results and it could be a question of a 3rd explosion that followed closely on the 2nd one"

Bornholm Seismograph

nyteknik.se/gas-nord-strea… Image
234. Problems (3)

@OAlexanderDK claims images via ROV of earlier southern rupture indicate an accident due to weld failure. Note he juxtaposes the ROV image with a pipeline welding photo.

2. However, footage of 1st Danish EEZ NS2 rupture doesn't actually support his conclusions ImageImage
235. Why not? Let's see:

See the first pictures from the Danish zone

tv2bornholm.dk/?newsID=255807

Full Video

facebook.com/tv2bornholm/vi…
236. Sabotage Confirmed for NS2 Danish EEZ Site

In fact a military analyst viewed the footage and concluded 100 percent that both sites were due to sabotage.

facebook.com/tv2bornholm/vi…

Don't worry if you can't understand a word he is saying, help is at end in the next tweet.
237. Sabotage committed in the Danish zone

"With TV 2/Bornholm's footage of damage to the NS 2 pipeline in the Danish area, the public now has 2 sets of images to compare with & for a military analyst, there is no doubt: These are acts of sabotage"

tv2bornholm.dk/?newsID=255809 ImageImage
238. This confirms prior statements by the Danish Prime Minister

"Denmark believes “deliberate actions” caused big leaks in two natural gas pipelines"

“It is the authorities’ clear assessment that these are deliberate actions -– not accidents”

apnews.com/article/russia…
239. @OAlexanderDK has "adapted" his initial hypothesis & instead of accusing "Pioneering Spirit" of being the culprit based on erroneous data (without crediting @Peter_Dunn2 who pointed out his errors) now claims that "Akadmik Cherskiy" is the villain..

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/is-the-akade…
240. See here for why @oalexander was wrong about the "Pioneering Spirit"

241. Invitation to spot the differences...

Hypothesis 1 (Pioneering Spirit)

archive.ph/HtPK2

Hypothesis 2 (Akademik Cherskiy)

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/is-the-akade…

Hint: the differences are mainly in the first half
242. But the trouble is that...

"Akademik Chersky did not reach its design indicators, giving a maximum of 400 to 700 m / day, which is why it was replaced by Fortuna"

@OAlexanderDK fails to mention Fortuna in his updated hypothesis

We wonder why...

en.topcor.ru/20731-dostrojk… ImageImageImageImage
243. @DerekHallen and @Erkperk discuss & debunk the accident hypothesis of @oalexander based on yield stress, pipe specifications and psi pressure.

(X70 Steel has a minimum yield stress of 70,000 psi)

244. Interesting general analysis by @DerekHallen

Why the Nordstream case is so troubling

"Interesting that all explosion points avoided Danish territorial waters around Bornholm island but were in Danish or Swedish EEZ.."

dropbox.com/scl/fi/vd0g0im… ImageImage
245. Why the Nordstream case is so troubling (2)

"Explosions were at sea depths below 300 ft and divable for technical diving professionals

oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/tec…

The 2 explosion sites (each strand had C4 charges) took out both strands of Nordstream 1 & one of Nordstream 2"
246. Why NS case is so troubling (3)

"suggesting charges had been in seawater for a
while rendering only 75% success. NS 1 south of Bornholm was inside Danish territorial waters so was not attacked, NS 2 was barely but certainly outside & was attacked"

dropbox.com/scl/fi/vd0g0im…
247. Why NS case is so troubling (4)

@DerekHallen concludes:

"So the perp was looking to not appear to be infringing Article 5 of NATO, perhaps creating the condition for suspicion to fall on a non NATO state actor" ImageImage

251. Now accusations are being made against three other Russian ships involved in pipeline work near the NS2 explosion site ( in April 2019):

Bakhtemir
Spasatel Karev
Kap. Beklemishev

See this thread:

252. Similar accusations were made in Oct 2022

(by the usual suspects)

253. Always important to investigate the sources..

262. What is interesting is:

When it was first published? Sept 29th 2021

moldova-news.md/rusia-a-atacat…

Where the story same from?

Ukrainian Naval Intelligence, US Navy, CIA

Who promoted it (RLI, Jamestown, UKR Defense Express)

en.defence-ua.com/analysis/who_a…

ImageImageImage
263. Conclusion

I have found no other sources to confirm his allegations, it certainly looks like a CIA-Ukrainian Intelligence disinformation story pushed out immediately after the explosions (September 29th) to inculpate Russia.

264. More emerged via Ukraine (surprise, surprise)

No earlier sources than the 29th Sept 2022, but a later article published by Mykhailo Gonchar in Centre for Global Studies “Strategy XXI”, Dec 2022, adds interesting detail

260. What actually happened in April 2021 at NS2?

Notification to Fishermen NS 2 Project

26.03.2021

Nord Stream 2 AG submitted a notification for activities to be performed for NS 2 Project through Q2 2021.

Fortuna & Akademik Cherskiy + Other Ships

hkpo.se/wp-content/upl… ImageImage
261. The Map & The Exclusion Zones

Nord Stream 2 AG established:

Exclusion zone for the pipelay vessels Fortuna and Akademik Cherskiy: 1.5 nm radius

Exclusion zone for vessels of limited manoeuvrability (Baltic Explorer and Murman): 500 m radius

hkpo.se/wp-content/upl… Image
262. Additional Notes

"linear infrastructure, such as offshore pipelines or cables, automatically receive a 200m protection zone in Danish waters along each side of the line thus certain activities, for example, bottom trawling, are not allowed within the protection zone"

:)

eadaily.com/ru/news/2021/0… Image
275. Would you agree @Erkperk ?

It is likely that source of "military intelligence information of one of the NATO countries received in Spring 2021" about "suspicious activities" of Russian pipelaying and support vessels came from either Poland or UK.

276. Muddying the Waters of the Baltic Sea...

Note

Any "state actor" that would decide to undertake such a sabotage operation would very carefully prepare all the background, groundwork, forensic evidence and narratives to avoid being blamed & to cast the blame on their enemy. ImageImage
277. Bizarre Attempts at Denial

There have been attempts to deny the evidence of the Polish warship Krakow, Polish reconnaissance aircraft flights and submarine near the NS2 pipelaying area in March/April 2021



&

278. They failed..

The story is backed by visual evidence, reported in Reuters & by Nord Stream AG, as well as by Russian sources.

Even with a standard denial by the Poles (while admitting their aircraft & ships were operating "normally" in the area)

tvpworld.com/53105975/polis… Image
279. When a Denial is a Confirmation

Interesting that the Polish ship involved, "Krakow", is a minelayer, designed to carry up to 134 naval mines.

291. CIA warning published in @spiegelonline

via @Erkperk

Russians were worried about Ukrainian sabotage attacks & NSA/CIA intercepted communications:

"Ukrainians allegedly tried to rent a boat in Sweden for this purpose" (attack on infrastructure)

292. What a timely tweet the last one was...

Clearly CIA knew about this since day one

Luckily Hersh's story scared the shit out of them, hence the limited hangout today

Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines, U.S. Officials Say

archive.ph/YCvuk
293. Such hypocrisy (1)

"U.S. officials said that they had no evidence President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine or his top lieutenants were involved in the operation, or that the perpetrators were acting at the direction of any Ukrainian government officials"
294. More lies

"US officials said there was much they did not know about the perpetrators & their affiliations. The newly collected intelligence suggests they were opponents of Putin, but does not specify the members of the group, or who directed or paid for the operation"
295. ROLF

"U.S. officials said that there are no firm conclusions about it, leaving open the possibility that the operation might have been conducted off the books by a proxy force with connections to the Ukrainian government or its security services"
296. Even more ROLF

"Officials who have reviewed the intelligence said they believed the saboteurs were most likely Ukrainian or Russian nationals, or some combination of the 2 & said no American or British nationals were involved"
297. Spook Divers

"The explosives were most likely planted with the help of experienced divers who were not working for military or intelligence services,....U.S. officials ...said it is possible that the perpetrators received specialized government training in the past"
298. Denmark, Sweden and Germany

- The Sound of Silence?

"Any suggestion of Ukrainian involvement, whether direct or indirect, could upset the delicate relationship between Ukraine and Germany"
299. The Old "IC Community is Divided" ploy

"US officials who have been briefed on the intelligence are divided about how much weight to put on the new information. All of them spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss classified intelligence and matters of sensitive diplomacy"
300. Now they tell us, after accusing Russia since Day 1, LOL

"After the Nord Stream operation, there was hushed speculation — and worry — in Washington that parts of the Ukrainian government might have been involved in that operation as well"
301. A nice find by @Erkperk

"His name will surely appear eventually, particularly given that he appears to have left a peculiar calling card"

314. Ordered to deflect questions...

"A week after the NS pipeline exploded, staff at a Scandinavian delegation were told this would not be made public & to deflect any questions about why the official investigation into the destruction of the pipeline was moving so slowly"
315. As I suspected (see Tweet 311)

Defence Minister, Pistorius urges caution around reports that the NS pipeline was sabotaged by pro-Ukrainian group

“It could just as easily been a false flag operation, designed to shift blame to pro-Ukraine groups”

Hoping they can spin the story by pointing the finger at Russia?

@AricToler and @OAlexanderDK have both recently produced interesting investigative threads concerning the yacht allegedly used by the Ukrainian Team.

319. Before we look at their threads, let's look at another take by @johannesriber on placing charges from a yacht.

He suspects a Russian False Flag & seems to suggest a naval mine via a Russian Submarine?

371. My opinion?

I agree with Petri Krohn

"The Ukrainian sailboat story is true, but not alone responsible for the bombing of the NS pipeline. It is a cover operation executed to create a cover story to be used when the real story eventually came out"

372. As it turned out...

"cargo and budget constraints forced them to rent, not purchase, a single yacht. And apparently, they also declined liability insurance. That meant it couldn't be scuttled afterward in deep water; it had to be returned..."

"Alternative scheme entails a team of attack divers or UUVs equipped with limpet mines & linear cutting charges targeting a key weakness & design flaw" Image
384. The Leaked Kerch Bridge Op never went ahead

(it was most likely a truck bomb)



However, one of the schemes suggested by military experts was, as we have seen, quite similar to what could have happened with the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage operation
385. Did the Saboteurs have to blow through thick concrete as well?

Nord Stream 2 pipeline wall thicknesses varied between 27mm and 41 mm (X70 steel)

ens.dk/sites/ens.dk/f…

and

offshore-energy.biz/russia-omk-com…

Most of the pipeline is also covered in concrete.
386. However...not at the weld joints

See findings by @Erkperk & screenshots from NS documents discussing the weld joints with polyurethane filling in heat shrink sleeves and steel sheet formers around the welded areas.

A useful summary of some of the main findings

Nord Stream Sabotage: The Evidence So Far

March 10, 2023 by Rene Tebel

geopoliticalmonitor.com/nord-stream-sa…
389. Several arguments have been made against the feasibility of alleged Andromeda "Yachting expedition"

1. Weight of explosives used.

2. Need for a large heavy hyperbaric decompression chamber which wouldn't fit on a yacht.

3. Large amount of cylinders needed for diving
390. Weight of Explosives Used

This is an invalid argument if we consider the use of linear cutting charges and/or portable naval limpet mines used on the concrete free weld sections.

See previous tweets for evidence.

So, Factcheck ❌
391. You would need a large & heavy hyperbaric decompression chamber... Factcheck ❌

No need for a giant chamber when you can use a portable one that weighs only 50 Kg or even bring two in your small white van, welcome to the world of the Hyperlite 1!

sosgroup.co/products/hyper…
392. The Hyperlite 1

Can fit in a car or small van

Can fit easily on a yacht

Weighs 50 KG (good for 1 person)

Could take 2 weighing total 100 KG for 2 divers ImageImageImage
393. More images and specs of the Hyperlite 1 ImageImageImageImage
394. Videos of The Hyperlite 1 in Action

1. Hyperlite 1 Portable Hyperbaric Chamber or EEHS Transfer Under Pressure from North Sea Platform



2. Hyperlite 1 Portable Hyperbaric Chamber on Discovery Channel

395. Portability of the Hyperlite One

How it assembled and de-assembled
396. "DART" Hyperbaric Chamber

Bulkier & slightly heavier system

Total Weight 206 KG

Portable on Wheels

Operational in 5 minutes

Makes it possible to use the system in places where normal size decompression chambers are impossible or difficult to use

draeger.com/library/conten… ImageImage
397. Another Objection to the Yacht Hypothesis

Zero Visibility: Fact Checked ❌

Let's see why Image
398. The answer to this objection is DMD

Driver Mounted Display

For example, Tritech DMD with Gemini Sonar

"The DMD system has been designed to provide divers with the ability to navigate and carry out inspections in zero visibility conditions"

tritech.co.uk/product/dmd ImageImageImage
399. Tritech good for depths of up to 100 metres

Brochure with Specs (Scottish Company)

tritech.co.uk/media/products…

Tethered DMD manual

tritech.co.uk/media/products…

Untethered DMD Manual

tritech.co.uk/media/products…

See screenshot for differences ImageImage
400. Connected to Gemini Sonar (1)

Vision in zero visibility conditions

On the Diver Mounted Display, the Gemini multibeam imaging sonar is mounted at head height and sends a sonar image to the diver who is fitted with a monocle on the external of their mask or helmet. Image
401. Connected to Gemini Sonar (2)

The sonar gives the diver a clear picture of the water ahead for up to 120m. This helps divers avoid obstacles, safely & quickly identify a target, travel towards it & inspect it in zero visibility.

402. Connected to Gemini Sonar (3)

This type of scanning sonar offers a large search area with up to 200m covered in a single rotation of the transducer

A seabed survey of NS pipeline could thus be completed in a much shorter period of time

tritech.co.uk/news-article/d…
403. Note on Hyperlite - #andromeda

"Now possible for yachts to apply the same logic & procedures that the Navy & commercial dive setups use by having a chamber on site"

Also larger 2 ppl version (SL3) 230kg

404. Another Feasible Option?

"The Ocean Space Habitat is a portable life-support system for divers who want to go deeper & stay longer than SCUBA allows. In this inflatable “tent,” several divers at a time can swim up into the dry chamber to decompress"

nationalgeographic.com/adventure/arti…

xray-mag.com/content/how-bi… Image
411. Conclusion So Far

All claims so far that a Yacht could not have been used for such an operation have been demonstrated to be false and indicate a lack of technical knowledge and ignorance of modern diving equipment, portable hyperbaric chambers and technical diving skills. Image

Radar target visibility range due to horizon for Danish Scanter 4000 on Bornholm & estimated location of nearest Swedish coastal radar

Coincidentally, North NS sabotage sites just outside Danish radar’s detection range ImageImage
439. My reaction?

They try to pin the blame on Russia, alleging that its naval exercise near the blast sites was used as cover for the Project 141S Rescue ship SS-750 to use its AS-26 Project 1855 Priz Deep-Diving Rescue Vehicle to lay the charges

This is speculation not fact
440. For example

"Arguably the most important ship in the operation was submarine support ship SS-750. Its special feature: Project 1855 a deep-submergence rescue vehicle named AS-26 with gripper arms that can move cargo weighing up to 50 kg underwater"

t-online.de/nachrichten/de… Image
441. Bias?

However @tonline @OAlexanderDK @JMuellerToewe @janzegal do not pay the same attention to the capabilities of the US Navy ships in the area, nor the Danish Navy, nor Swedish HSwMS Visby, nor Polish & Rekin-22 Ships.

Instead they focus only on the Russian Ships Image

501. Latest Hypothesis of @OAlexanderDK

The SS-750 was used to support the Project 636.3 Improved Kilo-class submarine Ufa (B-588) to place the charges on the pipelines, and Minerva Julie was used as cover.

Details:

Possible Submarine Activity Near NS

oalexanderdk.substack.com/p/official-rus… Image
502. Bias Blinds

Clearly @OAlexanderDK can weave together a plausible narrative using available data & his investigations are fascinating

However, his anti-Russian bias prevents him from being able to dispassionately examine all data

503. Russian Reaction to Recent Claims

On the investigation of the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines | Zakharova, Russia, Ukraine



They basically say that their ships were not in that area of the Baltic at that time.
504. An interesting article for several reasons

Nord Stream Deep Dive Finds Putin’s Fingerprints

cepa.org/article/nord-s…

Here @ASabadus claims the motive for Russia to sabotage NS was pecuniary, to help @Gazprom invoke force majeure to avoid coughing up billions in the courts
505. Malice or Response?

@ASabadus sees Russia's actions not as responses to European moves but as evidence of prior malice

She seems to claim that Ukrainian involvement (Andromeda) was likely "Russian Propaganda"

Strangely from NYT..

archive.ph/gaEPU Image
506. Why Interesting?

@ASabadus writes for @cepa

"Center for European Policy Analysis is a central spook/deep state think-tank in Washington, as can be seen by their staff and advisory board"

See list of known Members & Sponsors

512. Increasing Evidence of Ukrainian perpetrators

"The remains of an explosive suitable for use under water were found over a large area in the cabin of the Andromeda octogen, an explosive that is widespread in both the West & former Eastern bloc"

archive.ph/SAyyE
513. The main update is the use of Octogen (HMX)

insoluble in water, used mainly by the Yanks but available in Europe and Iran and elsewhere

aka Her Majesty's Explosive LOL

From:

info.publicintelligence.net/DHS-Explosives… ImageImage
514. The Power of HMX

"HMX is one of the most potent chemical explosives manufactured commercially with low shock & friction sensitivity & needs a blasting cap to detonate it"

HMX has a detonation velocity of 9,100 m/s and a R.E. factor of 1.7

nitrochem.com.pl/en/products/ex…
515. HMX Availability

Technically

"HMX is not sold & can only be acquired by military or research institutions. It is prepared by nitrating hexamine using 70% nitric acid & ammonium nitrate in presence of acetic anhydride & glacial acetic acid"

Reality

indiamart.com/proddetail/oct… Image
516. Military State of the Art Explosive

Octogen (HMX grade B) has higher explosive power than TNT with an R.E of 1.7

"of the energetics widely used by the military, HMX exhibits the highest detonation velocity, a common measure of explosive power"

sci-hub.wf/10.1021/cg3010… Image
517. Studied by US Navy in 1956 and used since

Underwater performance and shaped charge capabilities detailed:

Punches through 7 inches of steel.

apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD011… ImageImageImage
518. Question of Weight

If the explosive set up (HMX + Foam) as a linear shaped charge was used then the amount & consequently the weight of charges needed would be much less than previously considered possible, thus making the Andromeda op more feasible

519. Further Investigation

Were any traces of silicon or other foam found on Andromeda, along with the HMX traces?

529. Poland's ruling party believes Russia "did it"

The PIS (Law and Justice) has been in majority government for 8 years after the party won the 2015 parliamentary election with an outright majority, and has seen increased support since 2019.

europeanstudiesreview.com/2022/11/07/wit… Image
530. Punish the Russians!

The Law & Justice (PiS) party has for years alleged the crash was caused by 2 explosions in the final phase of the flight. Jaroslaw Kaczynski called for those who carried it out, in Poland & Russia to be "identified & punished".

themoscowtimes.com/2022/04/12/smo…
531. Just a Conspiracy Theory?

Not for many Poles

541. Thread by @CovertShores mentions this

He also has a cameo appearance in the video and discusses the ‘submarine rescue ship’ SS-750 and its DSRV (deep submergence rescue vessel) details of which were published by @OAlexanderDK

543. However...

"Russian ships no longer considered interesting by German investigators. According to sources, they are excluded from the investigation – their positions mapped, they have not been in such a place & they could have carried out the deed"

Humans cooperate with each other in large groups to defend territories or wage war. But what underlies the evolution of this kind of cooperation?

Chimpanzees join their close bond partners when fighting rivals, humans, too.
