Ruling out sabotage, the Swedish military has successfully cleared a remote operated vehicle (drone) rigged with explosives found near Line 2 of the Nord Stream Natural Gas offshore pipeline system.

The vehicle was discovered during a routine survey operation as part of the annual integrity assessment of the Nord Stream pipeline. Since it was within the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) approximately 120 km away from the island of Gotland, the Swedes called on their armed forces to remove and ultimately disarm the object.

“We don't consider it to be dangerous to merchant vessels or the pipeline at this point,” Jesper Stolpe, Swedish Armed Forces spokesman, told Radio Sweden. According to Stolpe, the cable used to control the drone and to set off the explosive was cut off, so at the moment the vehicle is relatively harmless.

The national identity of the drone has not been verified so far, as many countries use Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) of a similar construction, Stolpe said

diaper Joe will solve the mystery

If nothing else that casts doubt on the theory that very few countries
could do it.

Sweden obviously can find and retrieve objects down there.
Would imagine most countries with salt water coast's, shipping,
navies could too.

Does it? Guess it depends on the sophistication of the drone.

"A second, stronger blast northeast of the island hit that night and was equivalent to a magnitude-2.3 earthquake."

A blast that big almost has to be military hardware.

It sounds like China is getting oil and gas from Russia. Then China is selling the oil and gas to Europe for triple the price. This makes China a viable suspect in the destruction of the gas line. It's my understanding that Russia is only a part owner in the gas line but an owner none the less. I suspect that Russia knows who blew up the line and they are blaming America for it. It's a typical response by a socialist. Commit the crime but blame it on someone else. Something our democRATs are good at. The Russian communists invented the tactic.

RAF .. Their all Rump Rangers

The US did it. Nothing moves in the western Baltic without USN seeing it. Russian vessels transit the western Baltic with an "escort".

There's only one problem with that theory.

I can't find any agency which reported that there was any ChiCom military presence in that area.

Perhaps Biden blew it because it benefited his paymasters,the Chicoms.

Seven years ago ..., Obama was the head Negro.
