US Naval Forces decided to listen to submarines during explosions on the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, which made Sweden and Denmark to find out the cause of the incident, writes CNN with reference to sources familiar with the question.
“We know about the leaks from the Nord Stream pipelines. We are ready to support and help in close cooperation with our allies and partners, if necessary,” said the representative of the US Navy Captain Tamara Lawrence.
The United States has the most advanced reading technologies of “hydroacoustic signatures” – unique underwater sounds. According to the source, the analysis of sounds can become a key part of the investigation, supplementing what underwater researchers will find. Satellite pictures that were taken a few days before the explosions will most likely be useless, officials say.

However, when analyzing audio recordings, everything will depend on their quality. What it is – it is still unclear. Experts of the Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) have already transmitted US seismic notes. However, this is not the same as high -quality watercolor records. The upcoming analysis will be built on a vast library of various sound signals that are characteristic of submarines, torpedoes and ship engines.
Explosions on the North Stream gas pipelines 1 and 2 occurred at the end of September. They damaged three of the four threads of gas pipelines. The causes of damage are still unknown.
