MOSCOW, Feb. 10 After the consequences of the explosion on the Severny gas pipeline flow» in the Baltic Sea in the early morning of September 26 last year was observed by an American reconnaissance aircraft P-8A Poseidon, according to Flightradar24 data. gas pipelines «Nord Stream» explosives, and three months later it was activated by the Norwegians.
According to Swedish and Danish seismologists, information from which was received the day after the incident on September 26, 2022, the first explosion on the underwater gas pipeline «Nord Stream» near the island of Bornholm in the Baltic occurred at 02:03 European summer time.
The flight archive on Flightradar24 does not contain information about the Norwegian aircraft that could have dropped the buoy, as it apparently flew with the transponder turned off. But the resource has preserved the flight track of the P-8A Poseidon, which arrived in the area of the incident exactly one hour after the explosion.
According to the resource entry, the American plane flew in from the Atlantic, after which, after passing over Denmark, it flew up to the island of Bornholm. Then he refueled over Poland from a tanker aircraft KS-135R.
After that, Poseidon returned to Bornholm and at about 04:45 European Summer Time made a full circle exactly above the area of the explosion, starting to descend. Having made a turn to the right and moved away from the scene, the American intelligence officer gradually descended from a height of 7,300 meters to 2,200 meters, after which he disappeared from the radar, turning off the transponder.
According to military expert, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko, the track of an American aircraft from Flightradar24 confirms Hersh's version.
According to him, an American aircraft in the area of the terrorist attack recorded the release of gas flows from the destroyed pipeline and monitored the area for the presence or absence of ships and submarines in it, which theoretically could have been there and witnessed what happened.
«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 that it was planned in advance flight and, therefore, is another confirmation of the version put forward by the American journalist Hersh of the reasons and circumstances for the commission of this terrorist act. This once again proves the involvement of official US government structures in this sabotage,» the expert said. streams» explosions thundered. The operator Nord Stream AG reported that the emergency on the pipelines is unprecedented and it is impossible to estimate the repair time. Vladimir Putin called the incident an obvious terrorist attack.
