The first images and video showing some of the extensive damages to the Nord Stream 1 pipeline were released on Tuesday by the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

"One thing to note, this is after the Swedish gov investigation dive. They may have removed sections and/or debris for evidence," independent defense analysis H I Sutton said.

From The Telegraph:

"It is only an extreme force that can bend metal that thick in the way we are seeing," Trond Larsen, a drone operator with the Norwegian company Blueye Robotics, told the Danish newspaper Expressen.

Mr Larsen, who piloted the submersible drone, said you could also see "a very large impact on the seabed around the pipe".

As I reported last week, Sweden abruptly pulled out of a joint investigation with Germany and Denmark and refused to release their findings due to "national security."

Russia was barred from taking part in their investigation.

Who blew up the pipeline?

Gazprom just released these photos of a NATO Seafox drone that was found right next to Nord Stream 1 in 2015. The drone failed to detonate. NATO was caught red-handed and claimed the drone was lost during exercises. They tried it before. Go figure. pic.twitter.com/aH1NhefXGe

Zero Hedge shared these photos showing just how strong the pipes are:

How strong is a Nord Stream pipe? Quite!

The steel pipe itself has a wall of 4.1 centimeters (1.6 inches), and it's coated with another 6-11 cm of steel-reinforced concrete. Each section of the pipe weighs 11 tonnes, which goes to 24-25 tonnes after the concrete is applied. pic.twitter.com/BFYnv36CaF
