Couldnt down load it TLAM, but the thing is if one did hit kursk the metal would be pointing inwards too look at the picture its bent slightly outwards conclusive of an internal explosion.

Whats more when Hydrogen peroxide is alight in a small sapce it just keeps reacting and can cause fires, and this has been known for 60 years at the time, and well the amount of torpedos onboard in a very hot super heated compartment with no room to expand would have built up pressure inside, either detonated torpedo fuel or warheads or both and thus giving you the second devastating blast.

Whats more apparent is when they raised kursk they noted the air conditioning ducts were charred and thick black ash and soot inside the vents meaning a fire of some kind forward, this would also prove that no MK48 had been involved, because if the 48 had detonated outside there would have been no fire, the water would have quenched that in seconds.
And the front would remained largely intact with a penetration hole in one side.

The notion the MK48 penetrated inside the submarine is also rubbish, the first hull is about 1/3 inch thick steel coated with 6 inches of rubber, then you have a 2.2 meter gap with support stantions then the main pressure hull which is half inch thick steel so some how a torpedo doing 55 knots and wieghs 2 tons has got to penetrate that i think not even a standard shape charge would only cut one hull open she will still float.

You have to understand the americans are a conveniant excuse for the russian mishaps, the do not like or tolerate failure and will cover it up to try and save face.
also the admiral who made the rediculas claims about a forign torpedo later went on to say the peter the great was in danger of blowing up was repremanded for this (later dismissed after the PTG incident) he liked to stir the crap as it were and so you got these stories.

Admiral Popov resigned from the navy he was commander in chief and now sits in parliment on the upper bench (kremlin).
