First reports reaching DEBKAfile’s military sources
say that a US submarine intercepted a Russian nuclear sub in American
waters opposite Alaska. The Russian sub escorting the nuclear submarine
responded with a Balkan 2000 torpedo and scuttled the US vessel. Urgent
consultations in both the White House and the Kremlin were taking place
on Tuesday night. US Vice President Mike Pence called off an appearance
in New Hampshire after being recalled to Washington for a conference
called by President Donald Trump without explanation.
Russian
President Vladimir Putin cancelled an engagement and headed for the
Kremlin to confer with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and military
chiefs, after learning that 14 submariners died in a fire that broke out
on a nuclear-powered “experimental submarine in Russian waters.” This
account carried in Russian media varies in most respects from the first
reports reaching this site and may refer to a separate incident. They
report between 14 and 17 members of an AS-12 nuclear powered submarine
died of poisonous fumes caused by a fire aboard the vessel. The
submarine was described as experimental and unarmed but often used in
spy missions. It is unclear how many of the 25 crew survived. Local
media suggest four or five are receiving treatment in Severomorsk’s
military hospital for poisoning and concussion injuries. Another news
account said the majority of the officers died in or on their way to
hospital. These reports do not cite the cause of the fire.

Damn good question.
DeleteFake News. I can’t go into detail but for my patriot community brethren I can assuredly tell you that I would not be home right now typing this if this story were even remotely true.

DeleteDEBKA is like Sorcha Call......loony tunes.....they are virtually never right on anything. And the "Balkan 2000" torpedo is a variation on a name for a SWEDISH torpedo. Not something the Russians would need to buy, they make their own. This story is bullshit.
ReplyDeleteDo you know why Pence was called back?
DeletePence was likely called back due to the fire onboard the Russian nuclear sub. It is a big deal; however, there was no shooting. Before everything is known, protocol is to get the big wigs in for a briefing to see if we offer assistance, condolences, or just monitor. Also, they would want to know whether the nuclear reactor was in danger of going into meltdown. Nothing out of the ordinary for VP to be called back over this. If you look, the story has now evolved into the Russians shot and sank one of our subs. Laughable to say the least since that would have sparked some seriousness. USNI has the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
