I read this that the sub was a fast neutron, Plutonium reactor with Sodium moderator.
Otherwise known as “Boom”
BORSCHT, PRAVDA, WODKA, TOVARICH...ok that’s all the Rooshin I know...
My paranoid mind says that a rocket carrying a warhead ignited while in tube. Sub crew probably could have let the missile out but elected not to do so.
If there had been a planetary catastrophe caused by the Russians...it would be all Trumps’ fault, anyway.
Everything is, according to the MSM.
Huh?
The main thing is that they were able to prevent whatever this catastrophe might have been.
May those who gave their lives be remembered for their sacrifice.
for those who prefer video to my previously=posted article link...

Whenever I read the words “planetary catastrophe” in this context, I immediately think of the point in time about an hour after Michael Moore consumes a half-dozen burritos and a can of baked beans.
Ok I get itt;
Ruskies want to open up : “oh my G planetary catastrophe stock exchange “
and tax the world ; must do it for the kiddies ;
We only have 12 yrs to renovate Ruskies nukes on subs or they will all pop
If I recall, their most recent threat to the free world was a 100 megaton
warheaded nuclear unmanned submarine drone, meant to drown the
world’s coastlines with mega tsunamis.
Perhaps they changed their minds about letting one of those go off.
Or they may have gotten caught splicing into underwater comm cables, and changed their minds about starting WW3 over the incident.
“As for the reactor, there are no problems with that,”
Yeah, whatever.
“Planetary catastrophe”, huh? Russian hyperbole more likely.
Russians are absolute clods at everything in dealing with nuke technology. From Chernobyl to this and lots of other submarine accidents. The Kursk disaster is a prime example.
Saved the planet, huh. Good, bring back aerosols:)
Weren’t 10 of the 14 dead pretty high ranking? Sounds like they were eliminated. That many chiefs on a boat died. How many high ranking officers lived?
For the safety of everyone on Earth, the Russians need to stick with diesel electric submarines and coal-fired power plants. Their track record is just awful.
“Russia confirmed late last week that the research vessel was nuclear powered”
Oh sure, a “research vessel” that needs to be a nuclear powered submarine. It’s a spy ship.
