“Moscow’s slow release of information about the incident has drawn comparisons with the opaque way the Soviet Union handled the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power station disaster...”
Moscow Times is very much against Putin, so they’d say something like this. But think about it, we knew with hours that 14 Russians were dead on a top secret nuclear submarine...getting information that quickly about an accident like that would be impressive, even if it was our sub.
Our irresponsible media always calls them nuclear submarines, even when they are only nuclear powered.
There is a huge difference in a nuclear powered spy sub and a sub carrying nuclear armaments.
It’s a silly pet peeve of mine.
Does this move the timetable to the end of the world as we know it to.. 10.2 years?
After 5 days we know more about a Russian nuke spy sub than we do about the biggest mass-shooting in US history after two years.
YOU live in Russia but just celebrated your freedom, btw...
Exactly.
When put in the context of this being an incident involving a very important Russian sub, it actually seems as though the information has been coming out relatively quickly. But this is the Moscow Times, so the bias is to be expected.
The world’s first operational military submarine, the CSS Hunley, also carried the designation ‘AS-31.’
Whoever wrote the article probably some satirist looking for a laugh. I read in the U.S. Navy blog has different link article by Navy Times, it didn’t mention if a U.S. vessel was sunk.
