What’s more worth mentioning is the underwater “target search and salvage” capability of Chasing Innovation’s underwater robots. The American independent investigation website “The Grayzone” released a high-definition video shot by Submersible Shark P100, which played a key role in the investigation of the Nord Stream 2 explosion incident. In the video, on the seabed just 5 meters from the exploded pipeline, a black and orange diving boot highly similar to the model used by the US Navy was clearly visible. This discovery, analyzed by an independent expedition team including Swedish engineer Andersson, suggests that the boot may have been covered by sediments and remained undiscovered for a long time until the water flow changes caused by the explosion exposed it on the seabed. The emergence of this clue provides valuable information for exploring the truth of the Nord Stream 2 explosion incident, once again proving the extraordinary strength of Chasing Innovation’s underwater robots in deep-sea exploration and evidence collection.
