This is a russian page

But the french newspaper called la Stampa, is saying that a US sub called mephis shot a torpedo at the russian sub called Kursk. The point of Kursk's journey was that the russians wanted to show there new torpedo called Chkwal that can "swim" up to 500 km per hour to chines.

But the major point was that on those training it was chines inspectors that wanted to see the russian torpedo.It saying that the americans were worried about that the China will see that effect of the torpedo.

And two american submarines were spying on the exerise, one the them launched the torpedo МК48.

Mephis was damage two because it crashed with the other submarine, and the photo of it was taken in a norwegian port.

That article is pretty big so if you can translate it in some way, then do it.
 
That just sounds like bullshit to me.
IIRC there was a Russian navy exercise going on right?
How come that all of a sudden you have 2 subs undetected, 1 supposedly in firing range in the middle of the whole Russian North fleet?
And the reason is the absolute absurd-they can give them a demonstration anytime and the US wont be able to do a thing.

Oh and the Shkval technically flies, not swims.
And La Stampa is an Italian newspaper.
 
Hi

La stampa: &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; the submarines OF THE USA exploded, but Putin and Clinton agreed and hid truth the time of the publication: 06:58 last renovation: 13:02 versions for the press to preserve in the form of file to send on the mail the survey of the photo-illustrations 118 fellows perished under water with the emergency of the atomic submarine of &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot;, 118 families they await the truth, which never they learn and which could prove to be the last report not of cold, but icy war. But Bill Clinton and Vladimir Putin agreed to shut this theme, he writes La stampa (transfer on site Inopressa.ru). The fragment of this so of the not open truth could be hidden in the small communication, only it is more than 10 lines, that was appeared on 22 August, 2000, on the Internet site of &.tsuot;Pravda.ru&.tsuot;. The communication, which not was never published in the printed version of publication and which in the virtual peace of the Internet existed is only is somewhat hour. The text of spectral communication is such: &.tsuot;V Saturday, on 12 August, the incident, which occurred in the Barents sea, could lead to the third world war. During several days the peace was suspended from the small filament, and any incorrect political step could lead to the exchange of nuclear strikes. Fortunately, the incident was regulated diplomatic of putem&.tsuot;. These were the days of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot;, the Russian nuclear-powered submarine, which motionlessly lies on the bottom at the depth of approximately hundred are meter with its load of people and riddles, secret of catastrophe, which not will be never opened. According to the communication, published on 22 August, &.tsuot;prezident of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and President of the United States Of bill Clinton after numerous confidential telephone negotiations knew how to agree about the peaceful settlement of dela&.tsuot;. But what this was &.tsuot;delom&.tsuot;, which in two years of investigations the Russian procuratorship did shut with the hypocritical formulation of &.tsuot;za with the absence of the composition of prestupleniya&.tsuot;? As it writes La stampa, &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; not it was destroyed as a result of random explosion of one of the nonnuclear charges, APL was struck by the American submarine Memphis. According to the data of publication, the maneuvers were organized by Russians for the purpose to demonstrate to Chinese effectiveness of one of last &.tsuot;zhemchuzhin&.tsuot; Russian oboronki: the torpedo of &.tsuot;Shkval&.tsuot;, capable of move under water with a phenomenal speed of 500 km an hour. This weapon the Americans do not have, until now. Specifically, by these severe of &.tsuot;chudom&.tsuot; in the month before the catastrophe Putin praised before entire peace. This version of the history of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; it is fruit of the three year investigations of French journalists. The materials of investigation became the basis of the film, taken by director Jean- Michel Carr, who will be shown France TV during the first days of January. For the journalists of the Italian newspaper La stampa it was possible to see this film. In it there are no single-valued proofs whatever (what film can change the motion of history?), but the reconstruction of the events of these improbable and terrible ten days, when entire peace because of the television controlled the agony of Russian seamen, produces strong impression. Pravda this or not, but this picture gives its explanation of the improbable behavior of Vladimir Putin, if we consider that this is the not simply age long dull indifference of Russian authorities to the lives of its fellow citizens. It did not pass at that moment and six months as Putin it was selected by the President of Russia after the lightning takeoff, built on the second Chechen campaign. It was on leisure in Sochi on the shore of Black sea during those August days, when &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; already two days it lay on the bottom of Barents sea, but no one spoke about this, quieting that occurred, attempting to understand as this tax in most advantageous light. Contrary to any expectations Putin decided to remain on the dacha. From there he forewent the western aid on the rescuing of crew. Nothing essential it was undertaken during the entire week. The mothers of fellows, buried alive in the sea, cried on the moorages of Murmansk and in vain they appealed to the Russian officers. From Great Britain and Norway to the Kremlin entered the proposals about conducting of operations with the use of bathyscaphs and recovery facilities, which the Russians not had. Pale and inexorable Vladimir Vladimirovich moved not the millimeter. The present discovery of this investigation became the fact that the Chinese was present during the studies. No one about this spoke never. In the film there are personnel, on which is visible the group of Generals from Peking, who be present during the studies together with the Russian associates. Judging by the film, the presence of Chinese strongly disturbed the Americans, who wanted to prevent the renewal of qualitative military deliveries by Russians. And in the center of these studies there was the monstrous torpedo of &.tsuot;Shkval&.tsuot;. For several months thus far, hardly only Putin was based in the Kremlin, the colleagues OF FSB arrested in Moscow the American owner of Edmond Poupa, one of the former colleagues of the secret services U.S. NAVY. Poup discussed the construction of &.tsuot;Shkvala&.tsuot; with its inventor by Anatoliy Babkin. No one connected never this matter from &.tsuot;Kurskom&.tsuot;. In actuality Poup, sentenced to several years of prison, was crossed into the United States after a certain time after the completion of the matter concerning the submarine. How to explain this &.tsuot;dobrotu&.tsuot; from the side of Russian management, which, beginning from its President, did plan first of all to overcome anarchy and pliability of the times of Yeltsin's administration in the attitude of the former American enemy? To explain is possible by the fact that this was the part of &.tsuot;paketa of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot;. However, so that in reality did occur there, under water? The matter, possibly, was as follows: while Russia conducted tests and demonstrated to Chinese the weapon forbidden according to the agreements, two American submarines they spied near. Chance, or, it is not excluded, shielding reaction, it became the reason for launching torpedo MKYA8, which is been nonnuclear weapon, but which has tip with impoverished uranium, which makes possible for it to penetrate the metal. &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; it proved to be more vulnerable than it was expected: torpedo led to two internal explosions, and most perfect from Russian APL lay on the bottom. Round hole with the edges bent inward serves as the proof of entire this: in the film the fragment of submarine is shown. Furthermore, about the fragments MKYA8 reported the newspaper of &.tsuot;Versiya&.tsuot;: FSB immediately conducted search in the editorial staff and forced newspaper to become silent. In this sea duel Memphis also were obtained the damages, two submarines simply encountered. The American submarine several days was later photographed on the Norwegian report base, located hereabout from the place of incident. Another submarine - Toledo - returned to the United States with the damages. Several months later New York Times described about its mysterious adventures. On the whole, to Moscow and to Washington it was that hide, but Putin and Clinton everything settled. No information about this will filter never, because &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; was raised to the surface, but the section, where explosion occurred, it was cut off from the housing. Amin' - to scrap metal 118 to Russian fellows, whose agony shook peace, concludes La stampa. Version of the ram: as this was or it could be The Americans repeatedly denied their participation to the catastrophe of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot;, although two submarines of project Los Angeles - Memphis and Toledo - actually they were located in the region of the studies of the northern fleet on 12 August, 2000. But after catastrophe Memphis it visited into the Norwegian port Bergen to the repair. But the Ministry of Defense OF THE USA it did not allow Russian side to look around these ships in order to ascertain that none of them was damaged. Proving the certain understanding between Russia and USA about the ignoring of the true reasons for the loss Of kurska&.tsuot;, many analysts give the following associated facts: the special telephone conversation of the leaders of Russia and USA, then - the mysterious visit of the director OF TSRU of George snares to Moscow. And finally, the random failure of Clinton's Billa of the development of antimissile system as the concession to Russia. Version of &.tsuot;stolknoveniye&.tsuot; it was one of three basic at the very beginning of investigation. On it insisted entire former management of fleet, then discharged by the order of President Putin. On 25 October been by the central board of Russian VMF Vladimir kuroyedov stated that it were confident in the version of the collision of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; with the submarine. The version of collision outlined former commanding of northern fleet Vyacheslav Popov in the interview for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo. On 5 November the representative of the main staff of Russian fleet stated in the interview NTV that the command VMF of Russia will defend &.tsuot;ne version, and pozitsiyu&.tsuot;, which consists in the fact that by the reason for the loss of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; collision with the foreign submarine became. According to him, the &.tsuot;prinimaya into the attention gravity of the charges, which will be produced for this state, Russian side thoroughly carries out entire complex of measures for the identification of this of submariny&.tsuot;. 17 November in the interview for the newspaper of &.tsuot;Izvestiya&.tsuot; the chief of staff of northern fleet Mikhail motsak again gave the new proofs of the fact that &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; American submarine ruined. This occurred at the very heighth of the warming up of the Russian- American relations, when President Putin met in THE USA with President Clinton. According to Motsaka, underwater object in the region of the calamity of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; &.tsuot;zafiksirovali the hydroacoustic means of the cruiser of &.tsuot;Petr Of velikiy&.tsuot;, also saw it seamen, who were attempting themselves to take out the emergency buoy of unknown origin, discovered in the Barents sea on 12 August. But in the evening on 13 August military pilots saw the floated up bubbles of fuel in 18 miles from the emergency nuclear-powered ship, and then antisubmarine aircraft they revealed the outgoing from the Barents sea submarine. Thus, is erected the picture of the fact that occurred from &.tsuot;Kurskom&.tsuot; 12 August 2000: The foreign submarine, which controlled studies from their beginning itself and which fixed the Russian surface ships, in the morning on 12 August completed certain dangerous maneuver in immediate proximity of Russian APL of &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot;. As a result of this two submarines encountered. From the impact something occurred with the torpedo tube or with the torpedo. The decompression of housing could occur from the impact - air rapidly was pressed and was heated to several hundred degrees, which could cause the detonation of torpedo. The strongest explosion, which fixed the ships of northern fleet, and even seismologists, occurred. 7.30 - seismologists of the Norwegian seismic institute of &.tsuot;NORSAR&.tsuot; they fixed two explosions in the region of the catastrophe of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; in the Barents sea. First explosion by the force of 1,5 marks, in two minutes - second explosion by the force of 3,5 marks. President of Russia Vladimir Putin - on the leave in Sochi. The management of fleet, giving estimation to explosive force, determines that APL and crew perished with probability 95%, and it reports upward. They from there await order, and preparation for the rescue operation thus far occurs. &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot; were not given signals, but signals SOS of podala another submarine - at first this led into error the management of fleet. In &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; there was the call sign of &.tsuot;Vintik&.tsuot;, i, according to Vice Admiral Mikhail motsak, with this call sign already after emergency into ether left &.tsuot;neizvestnyy korrespondent&.tsuot;. Period of communications took place into 19:30, into 20:30, and also in 1:30 nights, when anxiety was already declared. Even three hours prior to &.tsuot;Petr Of velikiy&.tsuot; revealed &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot;, the management of fleet to &.tsuot;eshche had deceitful information about that which has svyaz'&.tsuot; with the submarine of &.tsuot;Kursk&.tsuot;. Who precisely deceived command VMF, servicemen so did not say. Now they do not exclude, that this could be the &.tsuot;prednamerennaya work in ether of &.tsuot;chuzhikh&.tsuot;, i.e., foreign submarine. Let us note that in the case CHP the submarine OF THE USA, in accordance with instruction, had to give out itself for the boat of enemy, i.e., to imitate the signals of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot;. Most likely, Americans knew its numbers and they left with them to the connection into these three sessions, reporting to its about the emergency aboard. Also in accordance with instruction American submarine rejected the radio-buoy, which revealed the Russian seamen, buoy from &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot,; not it was rejected. After a certain time after the catastrophe, about which no one nothing reports, they understand authorities that after explosion in the command of &.tsuot;Kurska&.tsuot; to survive in effect not there were chances. Putin is connected with Clinton, the RF Ministry of Defense - with the Pentagon. The divers work on the spot of catastrophe. Upward again they report, that during such damages APL the crew, most likely, it could not survive. And on 12 August, and on 13 August go negotiations with the American side. As a result both sides decide to hide collision. And only in 2 days - on 14 August of approximately 11:00 - begins the played play from the communication of press- service VMF, that on the submarine occurred the troubles, as a result of which it was forced to lie on the soil.

It was a torpedo that went off, I do not beleve that USA or any other country was involved in this exident. Those torpedos are known to go off when in contact with water (well actualy when the inside of the torpedo comes in contact with water).
 
Let's face the truth, Soviet hardware is not the safest or most cutting edge and never has been. No one knows exactly how many astronauts they lost at the beginning of their space programs. An order to fire on anything other than a practice target would have to come from the President and I just can't see Bill Clinton making a decision like that.
The torpedo popped in the tube and the easiest way to explain an utter failure is to blame someone other than old, faulty equipment. I am sorry for the sailors and their families but military accidents happen every day in every Nation.

Explain this, and this is not the russian news paper that was writing it.
 
There are lots of groups out there that hate the USA to irrational levels. Just what on earth could the US gain from sinking the Kursk? Often that is what you need to consider.
What would those people gain from this action?
What are the risks if they are caught?
Do they have a history of doing such a thing?
Sure I too can type up a professional looking report that a UFO was found hovering over the Kursk before it was destroyed as well.
 
It says that USA wanted to stop Russia to sell the new torpedo to China.

And do you really think that if something explodes from indside, it will leave metal bent inward?

And Kursk was loded with the new torpedos.
 
I think most torpedos nowadays actually blow up underneath the target submarine, creating an air gap at the mid section and having the weight of the water break it in half.
But that statement is big enough for anyone claiming it to produce at least one photographic piece of evidence.
And how would blowing up that submarine stop Russia from selling it to China? China would buy their own torpedos and hold trials of their own.. of course the price of the torpedo might go a little lower.
If the Americans blew it up to send a message, that means they're going to have to be prepraed to sink even more Russian subs if Russia motions to sell the torpedos anyways. And imagine the risks involved in the United States was CAUGHT doing this. Do you have any idea the scale of chaos that would ensue?
Most people consider the risk-benefit ratio before going ahead. In this case the risk would have been ... well I can't think of anything riskier than deliberately sinking a Rusisan submarine, and the benefits from a success would have been practically miniscule. China would get those torpedos sooner or later anyways. Do you really expect me to believe the US would risk something THAT big just to delay the delivery of a few stupid torpedos for maybe 3 years at the most??

As an exercise in absurdity, Snauhi, YOU explain this to me:


Russian nuclear-physicists recently developed a teleportation system that will allow instantaneous travel between our own planet and the famously chemical rich Jupiter. According to the head of the project, Russia plans to send a fleet of heavy tractors to the gaseous planet to retrieve as much chemical rich ore as possible before returning.



You can come up with a hundred different explanations, Snauhi, but the only correct one is that I pulled that story straight out my fourth point of contact. Point is, just because somebody writes something or even gets it published does not make it true. Just something to think about.
 
The bent in metal is a good thing to bring up but not a good enough reason. This "evidence" would work in dry land like a broken window. But there is a problem when the sub (kursk) is in the water, the presure is so emence that if an explotion would happen inside a sub, even if this explotion does not rip the hull open it will defenetly weaken the hull, making the presure outside the sub to bend the steel inwards, this can only be done far enough till the breaking point of the steal. Remember that steal does stretch, but only to a sertain point. When it can no longer ceep up with this sretch it will break a part there the steal is most weakened, this time around the explotion. These subs go to 200 meters deapth? The presure at that depth is extreeme, the only thing keeping the presure of the water to implode a sub is the structure, the rounded structure which works like a rounded bridge which is srtonger then a straight bridge.

Picture your self a coca-cola can. Stand on it, it will take the weight of around 80 KG but if you just only nudge the side a bit, it will collaps. The structure was weekend. Same thing with a sub, if its weekened it will implode and collaps. The presure makes the metal to bend inwards. After the whole is present there will be a current from the air seeping out making debree to disperse on the seabed.

There ware American (or rather NATO) subs present during the Russian exercise, as Russia is disaloved to cunduct submarine exercises without the supervision from NATO members (such as USA, Norway and more). This rule that was set after the cold war with the cat and mouse games.
 
Had any US sub been responsible for sinking the Kursk, there would have been at least 2 submarines on the botton and not one. Does anyone believe that that the USA has such unbelievably superior equipment to the Russians that they could get anywhere close to Archangel, pick off a Russian submarine, and then just casually walz on home? The US sub would have been swarmed upon and sunk in short order. Also, such an action would have touched off a war, possibly even a nuclear war. The article makes the assumption that Putin is a meek little kitten, happy to roll over and let the USA do whatever they like. Does that sound anything like Putin to anyone else??
 
I saw a documentary on this.


The most likely cause of the Kursk is probably U.S. Submarine intercepted it, thats what all the evidence and stuff pointed to the documentary said. Also it might have been a fault in the weapons bay.
 
If the Americans had done it thy would have pointed it out to show they were superoir. or the Americans could have done it to test a new weapon. However America would not have done it cause the Kursk wasn't the only naval ships the Russians had thier.
 
Well its an interesting story...

The tale of the Kursk often reminds me of what fate awaited the USS Scorpian back in 1968. Back then, there were rumors of the sub being sunk by the russians, aliens, ect. In the final run analysis, the most probable cause...a running (accidental start) of a torpedo in the forward torpedo room..followed by an explosion, catastrphic flooding, and then sinking to the seafloor.

In the case of the scorpian it too had the characteristic bending in of metal: that HY-80 steel is flexiable to a point.

try this page to see what the scorpian looks like on the bottom...and look at the pressure effects on the metal structure

a discovery channel exclusive on the scorpian

folks...in the deep catastrophic stuff happens :(
 
That's smart. I think the best thing to do is compare what's presented with other submarine accidents. The ones that have been declared accidents.
 
Have just seen the documentary on Australian TV. They were saying that the commander of the second US sub over-reacted after the collision when they heard the distinctive sound of the Russian sub's torpedo bay being opened. He thought that the Russian sub was about to fire upon him, so "struck back first"

Here's the pictures of the torpedo hole (at the bottom of the article.)

Very interesting, although the source is yper-biased. I'd like to hear what people on the boards think about this. Navy :CG: , anyone?


P.S. That's actually a Coast Guard smiley, don't we have a Navy one?
