Default Kursk

Watched the 'film' on ITV 4 last night. Was amazed to hear and see how much the rushkis covered up and still will not say about her.

I'm intrigued about the Mk48 sized hole in her though, has anymore cropped up about this?

I thought it was interesting at the end how it spoke about the things going on in Russia and not just about the Kursk. Putin getting most things back under control for the state.

Talk to me on MSN i cant use that kind of launguage here about it.

Also there is no way a MK48 hit her hull because they designed to explode under it.

and if it did hit the hull it would flood only one compartment so in terms of kursk it could survive if it got to the surface.

Discovery aired "raising the kursk" .
It showed the sunken sub. How it was raised and the last rites of the submariners.

Il let you in on something rotary crewman,

Ive been working on the Kursk for almost 6 years from when i first heard she was down (day before the BBC knew).
Ive spent a long time researching just this one submarine and im Not even half way there yet i think.

I have one folder that has atleast 700 pages in it just on the Kursk herself with some about the oscar class, and research takes a long time for her as she was a pretty new submarine (less than 10 years old), and also her type are still commissioned by the navy.

But i have defined that a torpedo exploding inside the submarine did cause the sinking.
