BalticConnector Blur

The Russian truck was located near the explosion between October 6 and 8. Gas operators noticed the pressure drop on October 8. The Russian ship was near the Balticconnector gas pipeline when it exploded around October 8. This was stated by the commander of the Estonia Defense Intelligence Center Colonel ANTS Kiviselg on the air of ERR. A Russian SVG FLot was found near the BalticConnector gas pipeline scene. It was there from October 6 to October 8.

For the first time on October 8, gas systems saw pressure drop, the next day it became known that the only reason could be a hole in the pipe. In addition to the Russian ship in the Baltic Sea near the Balticconnector, another 4-5 ships were recorded. "The investigation is ongoing. But at the same time, the location of these vessels can also be obtained from open sources. Everyone can check it themselves," Kiviselg said.

In addition, he added that the Navy Estonia is tracking the movement of ships in the Baltic Sea, but underwater infrastructure cannot be completely protected. It is not only about gas pipelines, but also about cables or the Internet. They can be controlled with sensors and see a change in the situation, but these opportunities should be discussed with foreign partners and allies. SVG Flot is a Russian ship used for transportation of ore and oil. The load is 3345 tons.
