The reason for the explosions that stopped both "Nord Streams" for an indefinite period is not clear, nor is it clear which state is behind it. In the light of the still completely unclear situation with obvious damage to gas pipelines, it is interesting to assess the underwater unmanned potential of foreign countries.
