Not because this time there are only 7 lifes to save aboard a technologically not-that-important vessel.
The Russian federation has called for foreign assistance this time, yes. That's what matters here, yes. They have done the right thing, yes. But lets not forget that had they done a similar thing when the Kursk sank, there could be a chance that those who perished on board would be living today. And that also matters here.
I really hope that if another "Kursk-like" incident happens in the future Russia will set aside any considerations about egos, secrets and other stupid (In today's world) considerations and put the task of saving the crews' life in the first priority.
Otherwise it means that 150 lifes were lost for nothing aboard the Kursk. And that would be YET another treason to them.

So RAM, you do agree with us to an extent, whether a Kursk comparison makes sense or not in this case. And I agree 100% with you, you merely elaborated on what I and another guy were saying, but expressed in two short sentences.
