#Nordstream the trace of the trace of a trace.
"t-online proved traces to the Russian military," writes t-online. " The Danish military photographed Russian ships at the Nord Stream crime scene four days before the explosions. The pictures are supposed to remain secret."

From @OAlexanderDK we learn that t-online's intelligence sources revealed the names of 6 Russian ships. So, we have gone from a small boat with 6 divers to convoy with 6 huge ships for a "secret false flag operation".

This all occurred on Sep 21/22, a most inopportune time.
At the beginning of the year NATO had moved so many naval maneuvers from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea under the name "Enhanced Vigilance Activities" (EVA). thb.info/rubriken/marit…

As the Swedes conduct daily reconnaissance flights over the Baltic Sea, so do the Germans and the Poles. The naval maneuver "Northern Coasts 22" was in full swing.

The USS Kearsarge was underway with two other ships near the Nordstream 1 explosions. Poland launched its naval maneuver "Rekin-22" and Russia also launched its naval maneuver "Navy Baltic Fleet Drills."

The Baltic Sea was full of warships on 21 Sep as probably rarely before. And it was so well supervised, as seldom before.

Note: While Northern Coast 21 was under Swedish command and still made plenty of headlines, one finds almost nothing about "Northern Coasts 22", only that this time it went twice as long until Sep 28. And everything is secret because Russia is not to be informed, they say.

On this Sep 21 the Russian 6-ship convoy set off at 0:00am and took course with full steam straight on the USS Kearsarge, thus on the place in the sea, where few days later the pipelines should explode. For the prelude to a clandestine operation, this was a most curious decision.

As soon as they left Russian waters, they turned off the AIS, becoming "invisible," at least to everyone except all the warships that were communicating with each other not only as part of "Northern Coasts 22."

By late afternoon, the RU ghost convoy had made it a little over halfway when the USS Kearsarge left to head west. A Polish reconnaissance helicopter was making its rounds, and must have seen the ghost ships. A little later, NATO naval forces will have known.

Towards evening, the Russian ships could have reached the place where the US ships had been before.
Had the Russians perhaps taken President Biden's threat too seriously and wanted to see if someone had tampered with the pipelines?

However, if the explosives had already been placed underneath the pipelines during Baltops22, then even the best sonar and perhaps not even a submarine will have detected the charges. But then again, maybe they weren't there yet.

Around the same evening time, the Danish ship Nymfen set off from Rødbyhavn. 10 hours later, on the morning of Sep 22, she should also arrive at the scene.

She initially remained at a distance of 10-20km for 30 minutes, then moved closer, turned and sailed away. When the Nymfen reaches about the spot where she stayed for 30minutes an hour earlier, she turns off the AIS and heads for Bornholm.

At some point during those 1.5 hrs, the crew of the Nymfen must have taken those 122 photos that the Danish newspaper Information spoke of. However, the presence of the Russians does not seem to have caused so much concern that the Nymfen remained on site for further observation.

On the other hand, even the Russians with massive reconnaissance equipment on board will have noticed by now at the latest that they had been seen.
Is this how you commit the terrorist attack of the decade against yourself?
Nevertheless, t-online speculates...

And OAlexanderDK speculates that an extraordinary alarm must have led the Nymfen to this area. He points out that not even the Minerva Julie, which waited at this spot for eight days, aroused enough suspicion to lead a coastal boat of the Danes to this spot in the sea.

Well, that was before the explosions. So why would a civilian tanker in holding arouse suspicion, especially when you can communicate via radio?

OAlexanderDK also thinks the timing was well chosen by the Russians because it would take the Nymfen 10 hours to reach the site.

But he also writes that it had been like this since March 17, and in fact since the Najads had left Bornholm. So by that criterion, it had been a good time for half a year, if you forget about all the maneuvers and increased readiness.

No sooner was the Nymfen on its way home than an S 100B Argus took off from Malmen Airbase. However, it did not fly to the site of the future blasts, but rather cruised back and forth off Kaliningrad.

After a stopover for refueling, it almost flew over the site of the NS1 blast, but this area was obviously not the core interest of this reconnaissance aircraft.

At about the same time, a Visby stealth ship of the Swedes set out for the area of the future blasts.
The Russians were probably on their way home again, because around midnight they allegedly reached Kaliningrad again.

The most interesting thing about this whole operation, however, is what happened next. The Visby stealth ship stayed at sea for days, repeatedly switched off the AIS for hours, …

He doesn’t mention that it went up and down the pipelines, crossed the site of the NS1 explosions at least 3 times, and it is the only ship that was also at the site of the NS2 blast as well. And it was in stealth mode there. What was the Swedish ship doing in the Danish EEZ?

This ship is designed to have little or no radar coverage. When it turns off the AIS, it's gone. It has helipad, deep sonar, underwater robot and crane. So it is much better suited for such an attack than the huge "ghost convoy" without a reasonable motive.

OAlexanderDK points out that after his publication of the route of this stealth ship, the data disappeared from the server of the "MarineTraffic" WebApp.

Previously it was already strange that these Visby ships had participated in Baltops 22 according to published photos, but there is no mention. And if they were still the pride of "Northern Coast 2021" in 2021, there is no more mention regarding 2022.

Nevertheless the Visby were the only ship that was seen at all places of the blasts according to today's knowledge. To make a "pursuit" of the Russian giant convoy out of this seems rather ***.

It remains to be clarified whether this was just an overzealous "journalist" at work or how the Russians could have prepared the yacht to draw suspicion to 6 divers. Or was the entire story just a hoax?

PS: You can put all sorts of myths on the Russians, but whether they have the humor to blow up their own pipeline on Poroshenko's birthday, I can't imagine.
