The Fligthradar24 service found confirmation of US participation in the undermining of the Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines. According to the tracker, on September 26, an American P-8A Poseidon “reconnaissance aircraft” flew over the scene an hour after the explosion. An investigation with arguments in favor of this version was recently published by the American journalist Seymour Hersh.
According to Swedish and Danish seismologists, the first explosion occurred at 2:03 am European summer time. In his investigation, Hersh points out that the US military planted the explosives in advance, and detonated the device with the help of a Norwegian Navy aircraft, which dropped a special buoy. The Flightradar24 service does not have data on the flight of the Norwegian aircraft, but the flight track of the American Poseidon has been preserved. It flew across the Atlantic, passed over Denmark and refueled in the air over Poland from a KC-135R tanker aircraft. Then an American reconnaissance aircraft flew to the island of Bronholm at 4:45 and lowered the flight altitude in the area of the explosions, and then disappeared from the radar.
According to military expert Igor Korotchenko, Flightradar24 data confirms Hersh’s version.
“Given that the flight route of the American P-8A Poseidon was calculated with refueling over Poland and synchronization of all these moments was required, it can be argued that its arrival at the appointed time, immediately after the terrorist attack, indicates a pre-planned flight and, therefore, is another confirmation of the version put forward by the American journalist Hersh of the reasons and circumstances of this terrorist act,” – he said in an interview with the publication “RIA News“.
On February 9, Utah Senator Mike Lee said that the US authorities could carry out sabotage on the Nord Stream without the consent of Congress, which is worrying.
