And? You think the Ruissians put a piece of equipment that must be top secret on some container ship? Just to reveal its existence and preformance characteristic to the US, merely to take out one destroyer? Like the destroyer’s radar would have been knocked out of commission but no one noticed?
Really?

Collision was at approx 2:30 a.m. = 17:30 UTC. (Tokyo is +9 hrs UTC)
The first course correction to starboard was at 16:30 (1:30 am local)
The initial U turn was complete by 17:10 UTC.
There was a second turn to port at 17:38 UTC when traveling at 9.9 knots.
Collision occurs during this time period.
The next AIS reading is at 17:52 with ship headed East (90 degree) at <4 knot, then it turns north....loitering slowly... and then resumes course to the east at approx 19:00 UTC back at full speed.
I simply added that there are rumors that radar jamming technology has been developed that could blind a ship.
It is hard to imagine an Aegis destroyer colliding in open seas with a radar visible cargo ship, whether by accident or intentionally--even if said cargo ship had turned off its running lights and transponder.
There is a mystery here. I have no idea what happened.
But then, of course, neither do you.
Really.
Don't just insult people and run away.
Really...Stupid.
