Fears over Russian threat to Norway's energy infrastructure

 Norway replaced Russia as the source of natural gas for Europe after sanctions were placed after the war began. Workers on the gas platform have heard unidentified drones over their heads, which could mean that Russia is trying to Cut natural gas production from Europe before the winter starts. The Norwegian government has sent warships and fighter jets to patrol to secure the gas platforms. The Problem is that it's extremely hard to secure a 9000 Km pipeline, so it could easily be targeted by Russia. The Prime minister of Norway has asked for help from their NATO allies Britain, France, and Germany to help them address the problem better as it's a very important time to maintain gas production before Winter Begins.
