NATO "Sea Fox" mine disposal unmanned underwater vehicle was found on Nord Stream 1 in 2015

An incident with NATO explosive devices occurred earlier at the Nord Stream gas pipeline, official spokesman of Gazprom Sergey Kupriyanov said on the air with the Rossiya-24 TV Channel.

"It is necessary to remind about developments at the Nord Stream gas pipeline that were already registered earlier. This case is well known. On November 6, 2015, the NATO Seafox mine disposal unmanned underwater vehicle was found during the scheduled visual inspection of the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline. It lay in space between gas pipelines, clearly near one of strings," Kupriyanov said.

"NATO said the underwater mine disposal vehicle was lost during exercises. Such NATO exercises when the combat explosive device turned out to be exactly under our gas pipeline," the spokesman said.

The principle of operation of the destroyer is simple: it explodes mines. That is, it is capable of blowing up the pipeline.

As Kupriyanov noted, the "Sea Fox" "climbed" directly under the "Nord Stream - 1" at a depth of 40 meters at the point of the 651st kilometer.

The explosive device was deactivated by Swedish Armed Forces at that time and gas transport halted due to the emergency resumed, he added.
