In to v nemškem tabloidu Bildu.

German tabloid BILD (of all mainstream sources!) now discredits the quasi-official and convenient theory that it was Ukraine 🇺🇦 that carried out the Nord Stream 🇷🇺 🇩🇪 sabotage. Considering its massive negative impact on German economy, it’s unsurprising that some are dissatisfied with the lack of answers and culprits.

German underwater archeologist and diver Sven Thomas rejects the theory that Nord Stream could have been blown up by Ukrainian saboteurs from the yacht Andromeda.

The quasi-official version of events is that the Nord Stream gas pipelines were blown up by a group of Ukrainian saboteurs who rented the sailing yacht Andromeda in Rostock. The Ukrainians allegedly loaded diving equipment and explosives on board, and then installed it on the bottom of the Baltic Sea at a depth of about 80-90 meters.

Sven Thomas argues:

• For underwater diving, you need several vessels plus a fixed platform with cranes, anchors and ballast with a total weight of about 1 ton.
• In order to dive from the Andromeda, it would have to been fixed directly above the Nord Stream pipeline. This required 3-4 heavy anchors with ropes 300-500-meters long. Otherwise the yacht would be blown away in the open sea by wind and waves.
• The Andromeda uses a 75-horsepower engine. This would not be enough to stay in the Nord Stream area with constant maneuvering. In addition, the yacht could not take 400 kg of explosives on board.

The underwater archeologist also calculated the oxygen supply required for the dive, the speed of the waves, and determined the difference between the two explosions.
