Appeared in the Russian media
news that Russia had to destroy damaged missiles for the C-400 complex supplied to China, caused an ambiguous reaction. Some foreign media began to put forward versions of what might actually happen to the rockets. According to the publication
The Drive, Russia did not destroy the rocket - they simply drowned in the English Channel.
The American edition claims that the Russian ship
Nikifor Begichevheading to China with cargo belonging to the C-400 complex, 3 in January 2018, in the English Channel during the storm, faced with "certain problems on the deck", after which it returned to Russia. Following him, the ship returned to the Baltic
Ocean power, also involved in the transportation of Russian military equipment.
There is a possibility that the cargo could not stand it and fell from the ship. Such cases have already occurred, including with Russian ships.
- writes the publication, adding that the operation to rescue the guided anti-aircraft missiles 40H6, which could be at the bottom of the English Channel, Russia could carry out secretly or just preparing for it.
If Russia did not lift this cargo from the bottom, then sunken containers with missiles could become "goldfields for Western intelligence services."
- concludes the edition.
Earlier, the general director of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, commenting on the supply of C-400 air defense systems to China, said the contract was delayed a little because the missiles supplied with the complex were damaged during a storm and had to be destroyed.
