Top Gear Russia magazine accidentally published an image of a secret Russian submarine.

The Russian edition of the automobile magazine published a photo of the classified "AC-12 Project," a nuclear deep-water submarine, nicknamed "Losharik" after a children's movie.

This was first reported by the unofficial blog of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies and picked up by Slon Media, which reached out to an expert for commentary.

Not having access to my prior sources I can't comment one way or the other. That said, if I did have access to them I probably wouldn't be posting this thread.

See article for the Top Gear photo.

Oh noes, that's a scary sub. Oh what shall the world ever do to appease it's greatness.

They have what, One? Two maybe? Good grief. The Bear is shrinking.
