A $250 million dollar prize submarine? Have we time-traveled back to 1960?
It was not dollars.It was British pounds. Also, that might have been the cost when first built.
“Have we time-traveled back to 1960?”
Not all of us, just the Russian military.
Looks like this was indeed a submarine that received some publicity from Russia. I know little or nothing about submarine warfare, so I’m a little surprised it was just sitting out in the open in a nearby dock.
If this gets escalated to a a hot war with Russia, I’m afraid the entire world will learn that.
1. Nobody’s ships are safe (military and civilian).
2. How darn important having ships are to our economy and way of life.
That’s a lot of money to a Slav unless you’ve been trafficking kiddies to politicians and laundering money.
It’s a “KILO CLASS” deisel boat so not as expensive as our all nuc boats.
