Jul 2, 2019 @ 22:24 Diane Shalem First reports reaching DEBKAfile’s military sources say that a US submarine intercepted a Russian nuclear sub in American waters opposite Alaska. The Russian sub escorting the nuclear submarine responded with a Balkan 2000 torpedo and scuttled the US vessel. Urgent consultations in both the White House and the Kremlin were taking place on Tuesday night. US Vice President Mike Pence called off an appearance in New Hampshire after being recalled to Washington for a conference called by President Donald Trump without explanation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cancelled an engagement and headed for the Kremlin to confer with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and military chiefs, after learning that 14 submariners died in a fire that broke out on a nuclear-powered “experimental submarine in Russian waters.” This account carried in Russian media varies in most respects from the first reports reaching this site and may refer to a separate incident. They report between 14 and 17 members of an AS-12 nuclear powered submarine died of poisonous fumes caused by a fire aboard the vessel. The submarine was described as experimental and unarmed but often used in spy missions. It is unclear how many of the 25 crew survived. Local media suggest four or five are receiving treatment in Severomorsk’s military hospital for poisoning and concussion injuries. Another news account said the majority of the officers died in or on their way to hospital. These reports do not cite the cause of the fire.
not a cigar in the closet?
I was once attacked by a Crazy Ivan with a Balkan 2000 torpedo. Fortunately, I was in my 18’ foot Tracker Bass Boat with a very shallow draft and it went right under me and blew up the marina and bait shop. Lucky day for me. I did lose my Yeti cooler in the confuson. USAA took care of the claim.
Hope the cooler had a NRA sticker over the Yeti logo. If the bait shop wreckage landed in the water use it like chum any booze floating from the Marina is I believe legal salvage. Very fortunate for you, not so much for the sand crabs.
My gun collection was in that Yeti.
Dang well the Dems can pee on their search warrant. Most unfortunate, all for a fishing trip.
It debeka which means there is a hint of truth and the rest is bs.
Don’t you use capital weapons in land mines in the hopes someone steps on it?
Why do so many dumb assed freepers continue to keep the lie alive that Sarah Palin said anything about seeing Russia from her house?
Right up there with this one
"According to Brazilian aviation authorities, a commercial aircraft Santiago flight 513 took off from Germany on 4 September 1954 and disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic ocean. It was assumed the plane crashed and all lives were lost. It reappeared allegedly in Porto Alegre Brazil on 12 October 1989 with all aboard skeletonized."
Very interesting article, thanks.
FoxNews’ story mentions nothing about a US Sub being “scuttled” by the Russkies; just the loss of Russkies.
I don’t know what disinformation to not believe (dbl neg), until all the dust/crap/flies settle-out, and we get some semblance of a truthful story.
But if we weren’t hit, or did we hit them?, why was VP recalled?
Yeah, well Severomorsk--in Far Northern Europe, by Scandinavia--is half-way around the world from Alaska.
THAT'S what I need to do with our Yeti! We wanted one for the longest time but couldn't really afford it, or put another way, we had better things to spend our money on. Then when we finally popped for a small Yeti, the NRA thing hit six months later and I'm ashamed to take it out in the world with us. But the sticker idea is brilliant, thanks.
And hence were DOA. Great! We can argue we didn’t kill them. Russian incompetence did.
Wow, hard to top that one..!
(snicker)
She is still around, on Instagram and so forth, getting the best revenge. Living Well ;)
Oh course C.P. ;)
