The Nord Stream Fallout Begins
Danish newspaper unearths the missing piece
On September 22, 2022, P524 Nymfen, a Danish patrol vessel, sailed from Rødbyhavn, a small harbor town on the south coast of Lolland, Denmark, to approximately six kilometers from the location where the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline was blown up a few days later.
As the Danish patrol vessel moved into the area, American, German and Swedish defense forces pressed their vessels into the section, while surveillance aircraft from Sweden and Poland, and an American surveillance helicopter joined the patrol party.
The Danish patrol boat, “sailed back and forth in an area south and east of the detonation points and at one point slowed down to effectively lie still in the area”.
Patrol vessels from multiple countries started circling the area because they noticed a group of six Russian vessels, most of them sailing from Kaliningrad, Russia came there unannounced. One Russian vessel, SS-750, carried a mini-submarine.
The SS 750 has “stern gallows with a lifting capacity of 100 tons for launching a Project 1855 rescue submarine.”
