Sabotage on the "Northern Streams". Who is the "producer" of this spy blockbuster?

On September 26, two threads of the Nord Stream and one of the Nord Stream 2 were depressurized near the Danish island of Bornholm. A large amount of gas got into the sea. Seismologists have registered two explosions on the routes of occurrence of gas pipelines. The head of the European Commission classified these incidents as sabotage. The situation was dealt with by the observer of MIR 24 Roman Nikiforov.

Gas fountains and spots in the Baltic Sea are the result of damage to the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. Leaks at once at four points in the economic zones of Sweden and Denmark, near the Danish island of Bornholm.

17 billion euros, that is, 900 billion rubles, are going down the pipe – the cost of two projects. And another two billion euros in the form of technical gas flow out, in rubles – 105 billion. The first stream was standing because the turbine was suspended in Germany after repair. The second policy was not allowed to launch at all, despite the crisis and protests.

The pipes themselves could not burst. Designed for 220 atmospheres, and on Monday night the pressure was half as low. And the version of an accidental accident, that some vessel unsuccessfully dropped anchor or dragged it along the bottom, is rejected immediately. Firstly, the distance between the points is about 20 kilometers, and secondly, no anchor can break through the gas pipeline. The thickness of the steel walls is three to four centimeters plus a concrete jacket up to 11 centimeters. So each meter of pipe with protection weighs two tons!

Is it a diversion? Or in the Western manner – sabotage. Swedish seismologists record underwater tremors with a magnitude of 2.3 points before the pressure drop in the gas pipeline threads.

"We know very well what an underwater explosion looks like. And so in this case there is no doubt that it is not an earthquake. This is an explosion that occurred in the water column or near the bottom," said Uppsala University seismologist Bjorn Lund.

They call the approximate power of explosive devices – 100 kilograms of TNT. This is the minimum, but there are other estimates: half a ton or even a ton! A strike by torpedoes or kamikaze drones is unlikely: the wreckage will then be found and the perpetrators will become known. But when mining, there are much more chances to remain anonymous. The average depth of pipes in the Baltic Sea is one hundred meters. In the area of leaks and even 70-80. Divers may well work.
