Divers used chartered yacht to sabotage Nord Stream pipelines – report

Report in Der Spiegel says six-person crew took Andromeda to Christiansø, close to site of blasts, but experts question theory

Wow, I totally believe that some random Ukrainians rented a small sailboat, filled it with hundreds of pounds of explosives and high tech diving gear, and then managed to plant the explosives hundreds of feet below the surface on the middle of a busy shipping lane. That's definitely what happened.

This is such a bad cover story that the reporters can't even prevent themselves from questioning it. Didn't stop the NYT from running a big headline tho.

    Oh yeah sure. 6 dudes with thousands of pounds of explosives and specialized diving equipment on that little sailing yacht. The boat is significantly smaller inside than your average 53 foot semi trailer. It tops out at 7 knots. According to the article, it would have taken at least 4 separate dives, each one lasting several hours. All while remaining unseen in an extremely busy shipping corridor.
