SeaFox drone found at Nord Stream 1 pipeline (lost in 2015)
MOSCOW, Oct. 10 (Reuters) – A spokesman for Russian energy giant Gazprom (GAZP.MM) said on Monday that a mine countermeasures vessel discovered near the Nord Stream 1 offshore gas pipeline in 2015 belonged to NATO.
Nord Stream reported on the same day in 2015 that a “munitions object” had been cleared by Swedish forces, without providing further details about the object.
Gazprom spokesman Sergei Kupriyanov told Russian state television on Monday that a NATO piece of equipment called SeaFox had been recovered from a depth of about 40 meters (125 feet) and taken to safety.
