You are steering in right direction but you steel don’t know the answer on question “why?”. From my perspective I could say that as a Polish I
understand Russian reality better than most of the people from the western world. It was not so simple for sure that Russians put some weapon of mass
destruction on the ship to sold it to the bad guys but USA stol it secretly using device from Philadelphia experiment
Russia has no interest in
spending such weapons to Algeria or any other country. So Russia as a country wouldn’t do that but… who and why?
In my opinion one of the Russian generals come with the idea how he could earn some money for his retiring. The corruption in Russian army is
legendary. You always will find person which could sell anything you want from the Russian arsenal and no one ever find that something is missing
because they have such mess. They even lost in misterious circumstances about 50-100 nuclear bombs after soviet union collapsed.
The scenario in my opinion was that some high military officials was making illegal deals with Algerian. They prepared a ship in shipyard in
Kaliningrad to carry that secret cargo and they do it in the right way in case of such incident which happened later on Baltic sea. Some of the
western intelligences discovered that fact of that deal. I would say that in my opinion it could be France although they have many secret operations
in their former colony of Algeria. They try to catch the cargo fast but as they discovered it was probably hidden in the construction of that ship and
they were unable to take it without heavy tools. Probably they thought it would be easier to get it. They know that majority of crew don’t know
anything about that cargo so after playing some police comedy they live the ship to return later to snatch whole ship when it get to the ocean. They
could snatch the ship in the Baltic sea but in that situation they would be unable to escape from that sea so they mount only tracking device and wait
until La Manche. There is the biggest sea traffic in the world in that place. So many ships that no one find the missing one and its close to French
coast.
If I have to guess that ship is now in one of the French naval ports and Russian navy is tracking similar ship replaced with the arctic sea to misled
the pursuit.
The question is why the Russian react on that situation. They probably understand what is happening when they cached signals from the crew after they
are overran in the Baltic sea. Then they needed some time to find what is all about. Maybe one of the military person involved in that deal panicked
when he understand that the cargo was found and probably tracked and the whole Russian machine was lunched.
What was that cargo? I would say that probably some missiles or missile components with Russian electronic which contain their secret codes. They
would be very unhappy if such technology sweep into NATO’s hands. Unfortunately for them, and lucky for us it happened even if we never find the all
answers.
