I find it odd that no freeper has brought up the question why this Russian submersible was so close to a communication cable to get snagged on it in the first place. The ocean is a big place as evidenced by the eighty years it took to find an ocean liner. Were they tampering with transatlantic cable traffic? Were they involved in corporate or military espionage? These are serious questions that need to be asked before everyone pops the champagne on a successful joint rescue effort.

Earlier Sunday, a British remote-controlled Super Scorpio cut away the cables that had snarled the vessel in Beryozovaya Bay, about 10 miles off the east coast of the Kamchatka peninsula. Way to go Brits... (how did they have one so close?)
Now on to another matter... This sub did not look like any military vehicle - (7 man?) So what was it doing participating in a Military Exercise? Does this call into question any Russian claims for peacefull use of these gaudily painted subs?

While I happy the crew is safe I've had the same questions you do.

Why couldn't they be working on their own costal defense system? A cable tapping story would be sexier though.

Rush said the other day that there were Russo-Sino war games going on. Funny, he thought, that they can have war games but finish up with a British-American rescue.

I find it odd that no freeper has brought up the question why this Russian submersible
was so close to a communication cable to get snagged on it in the first place. It was their own antenna. I see no conspiracy.

Indeed. This is the question that needs to be addressed, and only Putin can provide a satisfactory answer, if he so chooses.
Perhaps we could get someone to peer into his soul and see what's going on down there lately, eh?
My money is on espionage and tapping into international cable traffic on the ocean floor, just like Spacebar is theorizing... ;)

ere they tampering with transatlantic cable traffic? Were they involved in corporate or military espionage? The cable they were snagged on was part of the Russian Submarine Detection network, not a communication cable.
The sub, (oddly enough) is a Rescue and Research Sub. What was it doing participating in a military mission.

Does this call into question any Russian claims for peacefull use of these gaudily painted subs? What I read today indicated that the sub is a rescue vehicle itself. It is small and only holds 7 men so that it can assist larger, trapped submarines. It was supposed to be on a training mission (rescue training).

This wasn't a communications cable, it was some sort of sensor/antenna array. Since this was pretty close to their bases in Kamchatka, so it make sense that they would have this sort of equipment in the area.
To: Mad Mammoth
Geez, you're not a sailor. We do plenty of nasty stuff, but when a vessel needs assistance, you give it, no questions asked. It's the law of the sea.
