108 meters: submarine "Kursk"

- What happened to the submarine Kursk?
- She drowned.
From an interview with Russian President Vladimir V. Putin Larry King


Twelve years ago, 12 August 2000, one of the worst disasters in the Russian stories. The nuclear submarine Kursk has gone to the bottom of the Barents Sea. The submarine missile carrier sank at a depth of 108 meters. All 118 people aboard the ship died. The whole country watched how the crew of the boat tried to save and then lift it from the bottom of the sea. At the same time, the whole of Russia was discussing various versions of the catastrophe, questioning them. After 12 years after the tragedy, the question of how the Kursk submarine still died is still of great interest to many Russians. Many simply do not believe the official version, according to which the explosion of the remote torpedo 65-76 "Kit" became the cause of the death of the boat.

The submarine "Kursk" was exemplary. According to the results of the year of 1999 competition, the Kursk APRK K-141 was recognized as the best in the 7 division. Five submarine cruiser combat units are “excellent”, 23% of crew members are masters of military affairs, the remaining 77% of submariners are specialists of the 1 and 2 classes. Even before the tragedy in the Barents Sea, the submarine commander Gennady Lyachin was presented to the rank of Hero of Russia.

In August-October 1999, the Kursk APRK took part in an autonomous march into the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, having previously performed an “excellent” rating on the prize of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy. The submarine was marching to the Mediterranean Sea according to the plan and under the control of KSF commander Admiral Popov V. A., who described the actions of the submariners in such a way: “The commander of the Kursk nuclear-command and control missile completely managed to realize our plan. He led the ship unnoticed through Gibraltar into the Mediterranean, it was not a breakthrough, but a song! ”
108 meters: submarine "Kursk"

In the Mediterranean, the Kursk submarine monitored the 6th fleet The US Navy, which included the Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, from which aircraft took part in the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. During the course of its Mediterranean campaign, Kursk carried out 5 conditional attacks on real targets. As a result of this campaign, 72 crew members of the boat were presented to various government awards.

The sudden appearance of a Russian submarine, which is classified as an "aircraft carrier killer", caused panic in the ranks of the US NNXX fleet. The anti-submarine forces of all the states of the Mediterranean basin that are part of the NATO bloc were involved in the search for the Kursk. Despite this, K-6 disappeared from the Mediterranean just as suddenly as it appeared, dealing a crushing blow to American pride. After this incident, a number of commanders, including the commander of the antisubmarine defense of the Gibraltar zone, were deprived of their positions.

10 August 2000, the submarine K-141 "Kursk" went to sea to participate in the three-day planned exercises, this campaign was the last for the Russian nuclear-powered ship. According to the plan of 12 August exercises in 9: 40, “Kursk” was supposed to start training, and in the period from 11: 40 to 13: 40 to conduct a training attack of the aircraft carrier group of ships. Recent entries in the logbook of the boat were left in 11: 15 minutes 12 August. On the same day, in the 11: 30 area, the Norwegian seismological stations recorded 2 jolts, the strength of which was on the Richter scale 1,5 (taking into account the distance from the epicenter, this was equivalent to an explosion of TNT xNUMX kg) (equivalent to 100-3,5 tons of trotyl) ). These shocks occurred at intervals of 1 minutes at sea at a distance of about 2 km from Severomorsk. On the same day, the submarine Kursk did not get in touch and an alarm was announced in the 2 hour of the evening.

Versions of the disaster of the Kursk APRK

The official version of the catastrophe is the 65-76А “Kit” torpedo blast. The crash report was published in 2002 by Russia's Prosecutor General Ustinov. According to a report in 11 hours 28 minutes 26 seconds Moscow time, a torpedo "Kit" exploded in a torpedo tube No. 4. The cause of the explosion was recognized leakage of components of the fuel torpedoes, specifically - hydrogen peroxide. After 2 minutes, a fire that broke out in the 1 compartment led to the detonation of the torpedoes here.

The second explosion was of such strength that it destroyed several compartments of the boat. At the same time, torpedoes on hydrogen peroxide have not been used in most fleets of the world for over more than 50 years precisely because of reliability and safety considerations. Torpedoes model 65-76 "Kit" were created in 1976 year. They are cheaper than torpedoes equipped with silver-zinc batteries. After the investigation of the death of "Kursk", torpedoes on hydrogen peroxide, which were trying to return to the fleet in order to save, were finally removed from service.
According to the official version, the first explosion caused a strong fire in the first compartment of the boat, the shock wave from the explosion passed into the second compartment. As a result of the second explosion, the bulkhead between the 1 and 2 compartment of the boat (22 frame) was cut off and, moving like a piston, crushed all 22-mm floorings, equipment of the boat, into the robust hull. After lifting the boat, it was found that the bulkhead of the first / second compartment was in place of the bulkhead of the second / third compartments (43 frame). Only the bulkhead of the 5-bis compartment was able to stop the second shock wave. The bulkhead arched, but she parried the blow.

In the course of the investigation, it was established that the Snegir tape recorder was turned off on the boat, which was supposed to record the crew’s hands-free conversations; the toggle switch was off in the corresponding position. According to the regulations during the preparation of the training attack, this equipment should have been turned on. In addition, it was established that the emergency buoy alarm system was not turned on at the Kursk automatic missile defense system and the antenna emergency ejection system was turned off for several years. From the emergency buoy the factory fastening device was not removed, which simply did not allow the buoy to surface.

Close enough to the official version of Vice Admiral Ryazantsev, who was a member of the government commission to investigate the causes and circumstances of the death of the nuclear submarine Kursk. According to his version, the first explosion of the so-called “thick” torpedo occurred because of its filling with non-greasy high-pressure air, which the crew of the boat performed on August 11 on the 2000 of the year, using the wrong instructions. Until August 12, the air filled into the torpedo could not get into the oxidizer tank, since the torpedo was in the rack, the shut-off valve was closed, and safety devices were located on the air channel. Uncontrolled reaction of hydrogen peroxide, which led to the explosion, occurred after the torpedo was loaded into a torpedo tube.

Unfortunately, for the crew of the Kursk, all boats of this class have one constructive disadvantage. To prevent an overpressure in the 1 compartment during salvo firing with torpedoes, the flaps of the general vessel ventilation system during firing remain open. Thus, after the explosion of the 65-76А torpedo, the shock wave enters the 2 command compartment of the boat and the entire composition of this compartment receives a serious contusion, disabling. According to Ryazantsev, the second explosion on the boat is not connected with a fire, but with the fact that the Kursk APRK with the 1 compartment filled with water at a speed in the 3 node with a trim to the nose in 40-42 degrees encounters the ground at 108 depth . At this moment, the battle torpedoes, equipped with fuses and located in the apparatus number 1, 3, 5 and 6, crumple and explode.

Unofficial versions

If we talk about unofficial versions, we can distinguish four of the most common, two of which are related to the participation of American submarines in the incident. In the course of investigating the causes of the catastrophe, the option of colliding a submarine with a mine from World War II was considered, which was ultimately declared untenable. Experts familiar with the strength characteristics of submarines of the Kursk class, noted this version initially.

Also on the Internet, the version that the Kursk was sunk as a result of a missile hit by one of the ships that took part in the exercise was spread. The author of this version is the former captain of the first rank Alexander Leskov. According to him, a submarine of the class "Kursk" for physical reasons (the length of the boat is greater than the maximum depth of the sea under it) could not be under water in a given area. In his opinion, the boat was hit by an anti-ship missile fired from one of the ships while on the surface. However, most submarine officers call this version a complete nonsense.

At the same time, violations during the organization of the exercises took place. The area of ​​action of the Kursk AISSD included a part of the combat training ground of the Northern Fleet, which was not intended for joint work on combat missions by anti-submarine warships and nuclear submarines. In addition, the execution of the task that stood before the "Kursk" in the area was significantly hampered by its shallowness. In the place of its flooding, the boat could not perform all the tactics of attack, acting against the ships of the anti-submarine strike group and the battle group of ships, namely, maneuver in depth while searching and attacking surface ships, and also conducting reconnaissance, dodging after attacking surface ships, developing speed more than 12 nodes.

Along with this, during the official investigation it was established that 12 August was a day of firing of submarines, none of the surface ships of the Northern Fleet participating in the exercises, firing and missile launches. In addition, it was found that the boat at the time of the tragedy was under water and was at the periscope depth. On the submerged Kursk, retractable devices were lifted: a periscope, an observation and identification station antenna, a communication antenna, that is, that set of equipment used when moving under water.

The most talked about were versions involving American submarines. Immediately after the crash, a number of officials and admirals claimed that the Kursk could have been torpedoed by a US submarine. The French director Jean-Michel Carré even shot the documentary Kursk. Muddy Water Submarine, which was shown on January 7 2005. It argues that the torpedo attack by the American submarine Memphis was the cause of the death of the Kursk APRK. According to the version voiced in the film, at the time of the shooting of the new torpedo "Squall", Kursk was observed by two American submarines: "Toledo" and "Memphis".

The film assumes that Toledo was in close proximity to the Kursk and could have run into it (the video of the Kursk lying on the ground shows long gaps on its body). After that, in order to warn a possible salvo of "Kursk" at "Toledo", being at a distance of "Memphis" fired at "Kursk" with a torpedo Mk-48. The film’s director, Carré, claims that President Putin deliberately concealed the truth about what happened to the boat in order not to drastically worsen relations with the United States and for fear of a possible military conflict.

According to another version, there was no torpedo attack, but the cause of the first explosion could be a foreign submarine, ramming the Kursk in the area of ​​torpedo tubes. According to the captain of the first rank Mikhail Volzhensky, the sliding blow of the horizontal rudders of the submarine could lead to a serious deformation of the Kursk torpedo tubes.

    There is no doubt now that the real reasons for the death of Kursk will remain a mystery. Regarding the fire and the internal explosion of torpedoes, I talked with the submariner, the commander of the BS-3, this is a torpedo weapon control post. So he called this version complete nonsense.

      2000 August 12 - according to the official version, the explosion of the torpedo 65-76A caused the death of the K-141 Kursk SSGN, pr.949A. The explosion was caused by a leak of fuel (hydrogen peroxide) from a torpedo in torpedo tube # 4. The torpedo specialists reject the version of the fire and explosion of the torpedo 65-76.

      Americans fucked and flooded - 100%.
      This is supported by the fact that they conducted their exercises there, tested the latest weapons, and Kursk spied on all this, right under them.
      They discovered (perhaps an accident) and flooded - and moreover, it is no longer important torpedo, or ram.
      The fact is important - our submarines were flooded by the Americans - UNPUNISHED !!!
      They gave the titles of Heroes to all those who died, because they were all on a combat mission. Putin spoke I remember, says - the essence of the task of the State. mystery, but they fulfilled it and died they say.
      They were afraid of exacerbations. Wow. And if the next time - they blow up the Kremlin - we won’t say anything, or else we’ll drown it.
      They have us - and we type get stronger only from this. There is also enough arrogance for these Amekans - to blame Russia for their Hurricanes like Katrina when the whole state was demolished and destroyed practically under 0. Well, at least - maybe it is. At least some revenge, since we have a thinner intestine. Or was it thin then, and now is getting fat? Now, if something like this happens (and it can easily happen) - what will Russia keep silent about? Or, as it should and must, it will do it (it will destroy, say, an enemy aircraft carrier, even if after that the enemy will use nuclear weapons, which we will use in response).
      That was the only way they reckoned with the USSR, because they knew - just like our missiles were on the way, without thinking. And only in this way they will reckon with Russia. When they will be sure - that in return they will receive if something like that ........... that little will not seem to anyone.
      However, option 2 is still unlikely. Due to the fact that our Oligarchs - oh how they would not want to lose everything acquired by overwork. They have something to lose, we have nothing to do but our own skin. That’s why it always will be like that - it’s better to give up for slaughter - 100/200 soldiers (new ones will be recruited and born anyway in half a year) - than to risk billions and the existing capitalist feudal system - the children need to be put on their feet, grandchildren. Why do they need Russia after the nuclear war? It’s not possible to steal there. And live in luxury and chocolate, passing all this by inheritance.
      That is exactly how one oligarch spoke out - a friend of Prokhor. Well, there will be a war, well, they’ll kill 60 million, think - they’ll still give birth.
      We are cattle for them. More breeding, restoring livestock.
      However, they also provide for option 1 - and in this case they build underground cities for themselves - for the FAVORITES in the case of nuclear weapons (400.000 inhabitants for 50 years). They then will be saved along with their families. And they will survive all this underground. And then, armed with a good army, they will crawl to the surface from head to toe and rebuild what they need. Those who survive on the surface, as they were essentially slaves, they will remain in the end. Nothing will change in essence.

          Well then, this is generally a complete paragraph.
          We are also drowned in our territory with impunity.
          Or maybe she really drowned herself? Accident due to the fact that everything is rusted, everything is old, everything is on snot and honestly.
          Planes, rockets and satellites are falling and exploding - even NEW. Why don’t the boat drown ?, all the more far from new. And in a terrible technical condition, due to the fact that in the 90s and early 2000s, everyone did not care about these boats and money for their maintenance, no one allocated repairs. And if what pennies fell, then right there the Navy themselves plundered completely.
          And the story of the mysterious 2 submarine is nothing more than a fairy tale invented for excuses and hanging noodles on the ears of the population and other curious people.

            these are articles on the topic that Kursk was torpedoed in English: http: //www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?

            Interestingly, when Stradling in 2001 said that the cause was a malfunction in the Russian torpedo, he was shown everywhere; but as soon as he announced the American torpedo torpedo and he even named the type of the American torpedo: MK-48, he was kicked out from everywhere and stopped giving his word. - "A FORMER British military official Maurice Stradling, a torpedo designer and former lecturer at the Royal Naval Engineering College has backed a sensational claim that the Russian nuclear submarine, the Kursk, was torpedoed by US forces in August 2000. An official inquest concluded that the disaster - in which all 118 crew drowned in the Barents Sea, 135km off the Russian coast - was caused by an accidental explosion of an onboard torpedo. But Maurice Stradling, a former torpedo engineer and a key figure in the original investigation, believes a new French documentary, The Kursk: A Submarine in Troubled Waters, should change world opinion on the sinking. "On the balance of probabilities, the Kursk was sunk by an American MK-48 torpedo," said Mr Stradling, formerly a senior member of the British Defense Ministry ".http: //www.siberianlight.net/2005/05/10/kursk-torpedoed-by-us-sub/ - It also says that Clinton forgave Putin the Russian treasures worth 12.5 billion dollars, that is factually Ki paid for the rise and thereby indirectly acknowledged the fact of the American cause. : The cause of the sinking was covered up at the time in an act of diplomacy between then US presidents Bill Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin - a deal that included the cancellation of $ US10 billion ($ 12.5 billion) of Russian debt, the film states ...

            For the most part, I don’t care because of what Kursk died - even if due to a collision with Toledo, which jammed depth wheels and hit its nose with the nose and detonated its torpedoes.

              Truth?,
              Having deployed, the Mirages opened fire on the Liberty from 30-mm cannons, and the Super-Mister attack aircraft that approached them dropped napalm bombs. The ship caught fire in several places at once. The surviving members of the crew, under fire from Israeli aircraft, began a desperate struggle with the fire and tried to help the numerous wounded. Despite the fact that most of the antennas were destroyed during the 20-minute air raid, radio operators managed to install an emergency antenna and broadcast the SOS Distress Signal. The signal was heard, but the aircraft carrier planes promised by Admiral Martin never appeared during the attack or after it.

              Meanwhile, the situation for Liberty took an even worse turn. As soon as the planes were out of sight, three Israeli torpedo boats appeared on the scene - the very surface targets previously detected by radar. Approaching the American ship at a distance of 200 meters, the boats fired their torpedoes at it. Fortunately for the Americans, the Israeli cutters were less accurate than their Air Force counterparts: of the five torpedoes, four passed by. But the fifth landed right in the middle of the building, where the main posts of electronic intelligence and communications were located. For a moment, the explosion literally threw the Liberty out of the water and instantly killed 25 people. The starboard side formed 12 meter hole and the ship immediately got a roll of 10 degrees.

              But the ship was lucky again. The sailors on the lower decks managed to batten down the waterproof bulkheads of the compartments and the flow of sea water into the hull stopped. However, Commander McGonagle ordered his team to prepare for the evacuation. But as soon as the American sailors launched three life rafts, Israeli boats immediately sank two of them with machine-gun fire, and the third was dragged aboard

        again 25 .... if you include at least logic and technical thinking, which a man should have, you will understand that such a dent (hole) cannot remain from a torpedo. Firstly, torpedoes do not penetrate the hull of the boat, but explode near it, and secondly, this dent (hole) in the area of ​​the second compartment, while it is well known that the explosion came from the first compartment to the stern, and not from the second. You really want to see the wine of the Americans, you must agree. There are no and there were no prohibitions, because this "hole" was shown on the RTR and in the future it is free on the internet

    In fact, it is unlikely that for the next 50 years one of the ordinary inhabitants will find out the true causes of the death of the submarine, if they are different from the official version. Personally, it seems to me that there was not an intentional collision with a boat of a potential enemy due to which there was an explosion of ammunition. Information was deliberately hidden at that time Russia was an order of magnitude less prepared for any kind of conflict compared to the present time, moreover, in my opinion, they would have hidden the true cause of death if there had been a collision with a US or NATO boat, a direct military conflict is not in our interests.

      direct military conflict is not in our interests

      You might think directly in the interests of Amer and Nata.
      If something serious happens, the living (survivors), the Russians, the Americans, all envy the dead. The Stone Age of years on ...... sies on the whole planet will come, that's all. In fact - it's okay. Nobody is going to live forever. We will all be there.
      Although what is actually surprising. Nothing. Our women are sold into slavery - in a year, 40.000 Russians disappear without a trace. Young people are chipping, smoking and drinking, the nation is degrading. The level of migrant workers and the level of prices for everything goes off scale. The level of salaries and life of the population - the mat is not enough. The level of corruption - you yourself know where.
      For a long time you can list and marvel at the stamina of the Russian people.
      At that pace, the Russians will soon not remain. According to forecasts, by the year 50 - 20-30% will be us in Russia.
      In view of this, it’s a clear matter - what to arrange, even now - because of some 100-200 people who died - the 3rd world - Nobody and Never will be.
      Here, from cigarettes - 500.000 Russians die each year - and no one moves to raise prices for a pack of up to 200 rubles, all blah blah blah. From vodka - 800.000 mines - and the prices for it rise - ridiculously - by 10 rubles. About drugs - in Russia there are about 7-8.000.000 drug addicts. And no one does anything.
      And why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$ - billions of $$$.
      In fact, it turns out that the life of a Russian is not priceless, but has a price. For example - for the dead conscript - the state pays to parents - ASH 40.000r (2010). What a bounty! And is it not from here that the legs and the high number of 200 cargo grow in peacetime at that time. It’s easier, after all, to give 40.000 rubles to MO than to restore order in the army and lose billions. Is not it?
      That paid at least 10.000.000r - then they would have thought about the pressing conditions and problems of ordinary soldiers. That in the winter they are dying of menengitis and pneumonia, that they’ll eat the hell, that they’re doing whatever and wherever. What would be nice to carry out checks more often and more strictly, to provide parts there with medicines, and not to steal these medicines and products. That it’s time to start looking for, judging and imprisoning the soldiers guilty of death. And do not unsubscribe - heart failure / suicide - then put the Doctor in the military enlistment office, which sent the core to serve, since suicide - why? Who brought it? Who extorted money, who threatened?
      Eh - dreams, dreams. Nobody needs this. It's easier to close your eyes. And sit in your chair in place. And then those who cannot close them and love the truth themselves often find themselves behind bars.

    it is interesting to read the copies of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" I have saved /
    Ex. No. 157 (22381) dated August 26, 2000. A letter from a submariner who died in Kursk to Vladivostok. I quote. "... The village is just" ah ", as you look, you will shudder. Most of all, you were struck by the empty houses with boarded up windows .... We cook vermicelli in a coffee pot .... The crew goes to sea, and families without a penny remain on the shore. ... We curse, grit our teeth ... "End of quotation.
    That you, dear debaters, are complicating the problem. There are still not enough Quakers to connect to this. And UFOs. is it really not clear from the subsequent actions of the leadership (see Komsomolskaya Pravda from 25 August) that "the secret is so terrible that it scares even the military." End of quote. Those who wish will find the author in this newspaper. I remind the words of ComKSF
    V. POPOVA to the whole country on TV. that he "looks guilty in the eyes" /
    Dear submariners! I don’t know how now, but we always went to sea with brewed ASB. And the so-called RCCU failed after the first leak test due to condensate after comparing the pressure.
    And the conclusion is clear. Our weapons are not protected from unauthorized use. Lyachin lost control of the ship from one bolt in the rack. Popov knew that. The boat sank in violation of the BCF, that any struggle for survivability is conducted ONLY in the surface position so that torpedoes cannot be used. I met with FlagMin 4th EPL. According to him, a torpedo falls to 20-30 meters before a set of operational parameters. Maybe this is an immersion for this? ”The torpedo hit the bottom and self-destructed. I’m not a miner, as far as it's true, I can’t judge, but it makes me think.
    Why was the first compartment cut off? I suppose to hide the EMPTY squeezed torpedo tube. The rest are blown apart by an explosion of hardware torpedoes. The presence of practical torpedoes does not exclude this version.
    I think we will never know the truth. Kolesnikov’s note on the scenario proposed by the authorities should begin with words about a combat or emergency alert, and he wrote it when everyone .....

              would have opened the first compartment with a daisy, the bulkhead would have stood, and would not have worked as a piston until the 4th compartment. And a boat with a flooded compartment and adjoining GBC would have a residual buoyancy margin. Whether the DH will go beyond the borders of the existing waterline is another question that can only be considered theoretically, since Lyachin did what he did - plunged ... Yu.

          You can easily find information that three of the crew are not identified - two sailors and a Dagdiesel representative. And why was there no commander of the BS-3 and other officers in the compartment if the boat was preparing for practical firing, or there were problems with a torpedo? Did not want to enter the compartment, or could not? YU.

    * 8In the course of the investigation, it was found that the Bullfinch tape recorder was turned off on the boat, which was supposed to record the crew’s conversations over the speakerphone, the switch corresponding to its inclusion was in the off position. According to the regulations, during the preparation of the training attack, this equipment should have been turned on. In addition, it was found that the emergency buoy alarm was not turned on at the Kursk nuclear submarine and for several years the emergency antenna ejection system was turned off. The factory mounting device, which simply did not allow the buoy to surface, was not removed from the emergency buoy itself. ** - apparently, again, irresponsibility and negligence!

      it is not negligence, it is a necessity.
      the boat often goes into autonomous mode, secretly walks around the expanses of the oceans, in an extreme situation, that the boat is not uncommon, the buoy can come up and give signals, it is not very pleasant if this happens during exercises,
      and very bad, somewhere in the Canada area.

          so as not to be unfounded

          In the practice of some boats there were losses of alarm buoys (ASB). The design of their fastening on all projects was not distinguished by thoughtfulness and reliability. August 17 1981 BS-153 (V. Vedeneev) in a six-point stormy sea lost aft ASB at the outer raid of Balaklava. 5 February 1983 g. S-296 (V. Babenko) lost the bow buoy. The commanders of the warhead-5, whose command included the mechanism for the return of the buoys, sometimes welded the buoys by electric welding to the hull or put additional fasteners that prevent the buoy from floating. Even such measures did not always help. In 1984, the city of C-36 (V. Salomatin) lost the ASB along with additional fasteners and a rusted piece of a durable case. In 1988, B-41 (Y. Batalin) lost feed ASB due to corrosion of the drive

    The height of the submarine hull with the wheelhouse is 18 m, by the way. It is obvious that after the accident there were still living people on the submarine. It is likely that the first statements by the leadership of the fleet about establishing acoustic contact with them and preparing a rescue operation are just true. Obviously, the subsequent babble about the possibility of carrying out work exclusively by the forces of Norwegian (obviously military at the main place of service of NATO) divers is an absurd and pathetic lie. It is almost obvious that the death of the crew was simply expected. I do not presume to argue that it was technically possible to save someone, but the point is that such attempts were not even made. Obviously, the essence of the cause of the catastrophe (external or internal impact, explosion or accident) was known on the very first day. Obviously, this reason was again pitiful and absurdly hushed up until all traces were covered (destruction of the remains of the first compartment of the boat). And what else could prevent Putin from disgracing himself to the whole world and instead of “she drowned” to answer: “the reason for the death of the submarine was some kind of internal explosive effect”?
    Based on the above facts, it is difficult to draw a different conclusion except that the voiced official version of the catastrophe is a lie. Then of course you can only guess.

      Do not forget to take into account at the same time that the picture of the destruction of the first compartment was no secret at that time for Norwegian divers. And almost certainly among these divers there were reservists, and then the current officers of NATO special forces. It would be strange if this were not so, agree.

The reason and the details are another matter, here of course you need the conclusion of the commission before chatting.

      It is almost obvious that the death of the crew was just waiting.


      After the explosion, only 23 people remained alive in the stern of the boat. They were led by Lieutenant Captain Dmitry Kolesnikov. Together with other surviving officers, he decided: to remain in the 9th compartment, which had not lost its tightness, and wait for help. “There seems to be no chance. 10-20 percent, ”wrote Dmitry Kolesnikov in the dark. The last entry is dated 15.15 on August 12, that is, after 4 hours the field of explosion. Why didn’t they come out? Investigators say they most likely did not have time. In the 9th compartment, another tragic accident occurred - due to the ingress of water, a regeneration plate explodes, which produces oxygen from carbon dioxide. This happens literally in the hands of Kolesnikov, who dies on the spot. According to experts, the rest of the sailors die after seconds from carbon monoxide poisoning.

          Meanwhile, another attempt is being made to dock the rescue module with the Kursk hatch. Earlier 10 such attempts were unsuccessful. True, according to official data, in four cases the rescue vehicle "was close to docking," however, a strong underwater current, as in previous days, did not allow this work to be completed.

              At the very beginning of the operation to lift the bodies, when it became clear that the diver could not squeeze in his equipment through the emergency hatch of the 9th compartment, it was decided to cut the technological hole in the eighth compartment and enter the boat through it. The first to descend to Kursk was the commander of the 328th expeditionary unit of the Navy Hero of Russia Andrei Zvyagintsev. During underwater cutting, a small oxygen bubble was suddenly blown up. It seems to be okay, but this microexplosion was enough to damage the respiratory membrane in the diving helmet. Immediately, sea water begins to flow into the helmet, and this, mind you, occurs at a depth of 100 meters and a temperature of about plus 4 Celsius. There was already water in the eyes when Zvyagintsev manages to swim to the diving bell. Five minutes later, after repairing the membrane, the deep-sea boat returns to Kursk again. Foreign colleagues aboard the rescue ship were in shock.

              London, August 20, 22:10 GMT, 02:10 Moscow time

              On Sunday, Russian media reported that Norwegian divers managed to unscrew the hatch valve on the Kursk submarine, but they were unable to lift the cover.

              Divers confirmed the fact that the docking site was severely deformed - so strong that, as Murmansk Region Governor Yury Evdokimov said in an interview with ORT, the British would not be able to dock on the LR-5 rescue vehicle.

Weather conditions in the area of ​​operation did not significantly improve. The storm reaches three points, visibility under water, as they say in the headquarters of the Northern Fleet, is zero.

But it has the AC-36, the newest unit in the entire fleet. It is necessary to somehow deliver him to the place of salvation. On Rudnitsky, he no longer fit. As it became clear later, it would be the right decision to transfer it to Rudnitsky, leaving AS-32 on the shore, but they didn’t.

                18.32 Maysak (commander of the AC-34) :. “On the move, 2 knots came into contact with an object that has a rubber case. He fell on the screw when he examined the stern, after which he was forced to emerge abnormally. "The coaming site of the aft emergency rescue hatch was observed through the periscope."
                Visually confirmed that this is Kursk. The commander of the electromechanical warhead of the same type as the Kursk K-410 captain of the 2nd rank Butskikh descends on the apparatus. Visually confirmed that this is Kursk. About this second descent, the story goes that the device was able to dock to the coaming site, but when the water began to pump out, the batteries sat down completely.
                20.15 AS-34 was lifted to Rudnitsky. The batteries on it really ran out. Need to charge. But it takes time. What to do if charging is not a quick process? On the civil TINRO-2, it took 19 hours. On Search-2 13-15. On Prize it seems the same. Everyone understands that every minute is important and they start charging, bypassing instructions, in forced mode. Also preparing for the launch of the AC-32. He must assess the degree of damage to the boat and specify in what conditions it lies.
                22.35 AS-32 launched. Meanwhile, the excitement increases to 3 points. Rudnitsky is already difficult to carry out the descent / rise of the speakers. AC-32 lead to the place of the submarine, but he stubbornly does not see her.

    "The cause of the explosion was the leakage of the components of the torpedo's fuel, specifically hydrogen peroxide" ?????????????. I will add a bit of doubt about the veracity of the version of the State Commission. There is an interview with the developer of the fuel for the allegedly exploded torpedo. According to the technical characteristics, this fuel mixture in the space where it got, as the investigators say, could not explode in any way. It was necessary at least to consult with him, so that the version of the explosion from the "bad" Russian torpedo, and from the actions of the "bad" would be more plausible "Russian sailors. I learned about the tragedy while on the ship, in the company of FSB officers, and tears welling up in my eyes from impotence and despair for the helplessness of all the technical services of the once mighty fleet.

      It’s a leak, in history there are examples when there was a leak of components of intercontinental missiles in the mines on the boat, a fire ... an explosion and the boat sailed on, losing the covers of the mine, only there were tons of components, no kilo ..

    From scuba diving records: 225 m (25.04.2010/XNUMX/XNUMX), Natalya Molchanova

    And what does diving without scuba gear have to do with it?

    At a depth of 108 meters, the pressure difference with the surface is 10,8 atm.
    And the ascent without scuba gear, an unambiguous death - will spit out the lungs on the surface, if it is still in consciousness, because nitrogen already boils in the blood ...

    I believe in the version of the Amer’s torpedo, because on the starboard side into the edge of the bulkhead of the 1st compartment, a hole was visible, as from a cumulative charge ... The body was cut off just in the middle of the hole ...
    Yes, and two boats of adversaries, one of which w / w two days got up for repairs in the norwegian. fiords, and the second got to the base in England. or the USA I don’t remember exactly.

        I am not a specialist, but I also know that diving with air on the surface and diving with compressed air are not the same thing ...

        In other words - breathe in, dive, at least 1000 m, if you have enough health, and you can emerge with the same air ... How do whales, killer whales, who else are large with thick skin ...
        To be underwater, when atmospheric air is pumped to you through a hose and then emerge without stopping for decompression, in my opinion, it is also possible ... It is also possible to go down in the "bell", there you can swim at depth without scuba gear ...
        But with the air taken with you, the story is completely different ...
        Remember the movie "78 meters", when the hero slowly ascended to the surface along the halyard of the buoy, on which there were musings ...
        That is, after each meter set according to the instructions, it is necessary to stop the ascent and carry out decompression ...
        But there is a border depth (it seems like up to 30 m.), When a quick rise in scuba gear does not very much affect the boiling of nitrogen in the blood ...
        If N. Molchanova did not have enough air and she would have used the help of belaying scuba divers to "breathe", then she would have floated up after that in exactly this, slow way ... Otherwise, the lungs, together with the body, would float alongside along the surface of the okiyana sea .. ...

        Something like this ...

          Well, of course, I just didn’t think about holding my breath, I just smiled at the childish absurdity about the lungs. So there are helium mixtures so that blood does not boil and you will be annoyed, but the materiel just says that even with breathing with ordinary air you can go down to depths of up to 100 meters. Of course, decompression requirements become very stringent.
          Still, I don’t understand yet what was your comment? I brought this as an illustration to the fact that even a non-Norwegian woman without special equipment dived at times great depths and did not flatten and burst when she surfaced, and it is obvious that even in the 90s there was equipment left in the navy that allowed working on at a depth of 100 m. I agree, however, that you probably very smart once even know that floating from great depths should be slower the longer you stay there.

          Because right after that, Putin met with then-President Pen - got it. And what they were whispering about there, who promised whom and what, is unknown. The fact that the boat was torpedoed, no doubt. When cutting, the hole most likely should have remained in the bow and the case is sewn - covered. But the error in the calculations and the facts are there. Pictures of the side of the boat with the hole were hidden for a long time, but apparently - the secret always becomes apparent - it still works.

This submarine really was an American Memphis and it reached Norway for 7 days instead of the usual 2. Another American boat, Toledo, in zigzags, a non-standard course, left for the USA.

                    A collision would have far more serious consequences, to say the least, namely that it would remain lying next to Kursk

                  it was you who looked at Wikipedia and read there nonsense, composed by some teenager, immediately after the death of the Kursk. On the same Wikipedia, read the same article about the torpedo, only in the English version. our handles did not get there, and there it is indicated for people with brains that this torpedo hits the ship in the immediate vicinity of it (and certainly without getting into it). Separately, it should be said about the command compartment - if you at least turned on the logic, you yourself would have guessed (if you are so far from the submarines) that the location of the command compartment immediately behind the torpedo (ie in the second) is a feature of the Anteyev. And not on all submarine projects, he is in the second. Or was the MK 48 torpedo designed and tuned specifically against the Anteevs?)))))

              Some time later (about two weeks after the incident), all of Russia's previous US debt was canceled, and America granted Russia a new loan of $ 10 billion. Each family of sailors who died on the Kursk received unthinkable compensation of $ 25.

                    my evidence? evidence of what? the fact that it was not torpedoed ??? this means that I will have to refute the non-existent, which is almost impossible. Or prove to you that debt relief and tragedy are not connected? and I can’t prove it, but I don’t bind it together, but you. So prove that these two events are directly related and if connected, then where did you get this information.
                    Regarding the 11 perpetrators, given that you gave the exact number, you yourself are familiar with the official conclusions of the commission and the actions that followed. However, since I was asked, I will bring those who are more or less guilty, the people who in August 2000 held the following posts in the Navy:

                    - Acting Chief of the General Staff of the Navy;
                    - Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy for Operation and Repair;
                    - Deputy chief of combat training of the Navy;
                    - head of the Navy anti-submarine weapons department;
                    - Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet;
                    - Deputy Commander of the Northern Fleet for operation and maintenance;
                    - Chief of combat training of the Northern Fleet;
                    - Head of the Mine and Torpedo Directorate of the Northern Fleet;
                    - Commander of the 1st Fleet of Submarines of the Northern Fleet;
                    - Chief of Staff of the 1st Northern Fleet Submarine Flotilla;
                    - Deputy Commander of the 1st Flotilla of Submarines for Operation and Repair;
                    - the flagship specialist of mine-torpedo business of the 1st submarine flotilla;
                    - commander of the 7th division of the 1st flotilla of submarines;
                    - Deputy Commander of the 7th Division of the 1st Flotilla of Submarines.

                    Hopefully, do not force to justify the degree of guilt of everyone - a multi-book will work out. The main culprit - Popov became a deputy after resignation. Cool resignation.

        those holes that turned in the hull of the submarine to lift it - they are all located on the upper plane of the submarine and have no relation to the inlet. These holes for lifting are not even visible in the picture, not a single one, and they were made on the upper deck of 26 holes. And this hole in the "Kursk" is located even below the centerline in the direction of the rear - obliquely forward and could not have anything to do with the rise of Kursk.

    I think that after all there was a place of clash with the Americans. A torpedo attack is unlikely, the Americans, at least dudes, but they would have decided on such a thing. Rather, they spied on ours and accidentally collided, which caused a torpedo explosion. It was more like that. Not without reason, after all, then immediately officials of the American defense industry came to us. Yes, and some kind of toli was issued to us.

      They showed that there were two American submarines in the area of ​​maneuvers. They were on special missions, following the maneuvers. One Memphis submarine was sailing under cover of another Toledo boat in the shade. It seems like the only one on the screens of all radars and sonars. Then, Memphis emerged from under its leading boat in order to better explore the launch of a ballistic missile from the Kursk without calculating the course and distance. The Americans were on a collision course and collided head-on with ours. They walked with their whole body through the most vulnerable second compartment of the Kursk. But the worst happened later. On the second American boat, Toledo, watching the whole picture, the captain decided that the Russians somehow attacked the Memphis and without hesitation, fired a torpedo at the Kursk. The torpedo hit directly in the weakened part at the junction of the second and third compartments and exploded inside. Our planes, in fresh tracks, were fixed oil stains on the water at the rate of a foreign submarine leaving the scene.

      It turns out that ours drove these two American submarines to all events and knew for sure that they were Americans on observation. After the collision and attack on the Kursk, Minister of Defense Sergeyev took two anti-submarine squadrons into the air. Reported south to Putin immediately. And at the same time, the Americans got in touch with Putin. After liaising with the Americans, Putin recalled the planes and, in the end, Putin (or his team) decided to stay in the south so as not to provoke tension. Everything, it turns out, was on the edge of the abyss.

      The CIA director arrived in Moscow urgently for consultations. All this time, Putin was constantly in touch with Bill Clinton.

      As a result, no one was allowed into the boat, although the whole world was offering qualified help. After all, we all thought that you could save someone. A few days later, we agreed to let the Danes go, but with a strict order not to swim to the bow of the boat. The Danes managed to open the hatch in the eighth compartment, found several posthumous records, and confirmed that no one survived inside the boat. After that, the work of our divers continued. They no longer cared about the boat itself, its reactor and the dead sailors. It turns out that from the bottom near the Kursk, pieces and fragments of the American Memphis were urgently removed.

    The fact that the official version is complete nonsense, no one needs to prove. To detonate the ammunition is not so easy. 2 minutes of fire, this is a pretty decent time to make a decision. It turns out that the crew was smoking and didn’t do anything, automatic fire extinguishing The main postulates of the case, the torpedo, the boat was in a bow-to-ground position. Let's even assume that everything started with a torpedo, the torpedo tube remained in the open position (it was turned around by an explosion, the commission says) inside the boat. The compartment should be in position closed, the bulkhead is designed for pressure from the outside. The conclusion is that during the explosion of the main ammunition it was supposed to take out the cover of the dashboard from the outside, from the inside it was in the open position. And part of the explosion was supposed to go outside ... and this is not such a quiet bunch under water, and they want to assure us that not a single sonar speaker heard anything. But what brought the boat to the fore position in the ground is no answer, and this is the main reason explosion in the back of the boat. But the combination of a blow to the hull of the boat from the outside with another boat (the trail was shown in underwater shooting) could lead to loss of control and, as a result, an impact on the ground, into which it simply buried its bow. This coincided with the moment of loading the torpedo , it did not catch fire, but detonated, rather close to thermobaric ignition, given the fuel, which led to the detonation of the main ammunition.

      Reread the version of Vice Admiral Ryazantsev in the article.
      I happened to communicate with knowledgeable people from the Northern Fleet, they said exactly the same thing, with one "but" - there is a difference of opinion about the cause of the torpedo explosion in the TA. Collision? Perhaps harmless in a normal situation, at the time of firing a potentially faulty torpedo from a TA, it played a fatal role.
      And then everything is more or less clear - the explosion of a torpedo in the TA, the flow of water, the trim on the nose (there is no control anymore), the impact on the ground, the detonation of the entire ammunition, the catastrophic destruction of several compartments, the remains of the boat on the ground that survived are collected in the 9th compartment , some time there, maybe hope for salvation, maybe get ready for the exit, and then a fire for the most commonplace in the submarine fleet reason - chemical regeneration + oil.

    Obviously, the subsequent babble about the possibility of carrying out work exclusively by Norwegian (obviously military at the main duty station of NATO) divers is an absurd and miserable lie


    And besides, the depth for divers is just for children. And then, according to all the television programs, they told us that, apart from NATO divers, no one could go down to the boat. What is it for?

    deep-sea divers have always been piece goods.
    To maintain qualifications, they must have at least 15 deep-sea descents to depths from 60 to 100 m per year.

    and now you have a question, how many in the 2000 year in the Northern Fleet, there were divers divers authorized to work.
    how much in the country?
    How much can they be assembled and delivered?
    Who did not give such an order?
    Where did the best school of deep-sea divers in the Northern Fleet in 2000 go?

      And what could a diver do ???

      The only hope was for the rescue apparatus, which could not hermetically "stick" to the coaming of the 9th compartment hatch ... and not because the comms were damaged.
      Although, according to eyewitnesses, at the time of the operation with unsuccessful attempts to dock, there were no one alive.

        There is a diving bell for this, and a diver, open the hatch or help the same device dock. The bottom line is that we were then announced that the technical means of salvation, including we don’t have divers. Then the truth suddenly turned out that there were devices, but the platform bent and even divers in Russia, capable of diving 100 meters, were found a miracle.
        There were just too many lies. Personally, the official version is more likely for me. Nevertheless, all the damage is really localized in the first compartment, and the boat would hardly have sank so sharply at such a depth if it had been in the surface position when it got into the nose. Collision detonation also seems unlikely. But there were too many lies.

          Personally, I stick to Ryazantsev’s version - the explosion of a torpedo in a TA and detonation after hitting the ground. About the American torpedoes and the Flurry from Peter the Great, the versions are simply funny, designed for the layman.

          I confess that for many years I believed that the site was bent until just recently I heard a refutation from a participant in the events. No divers could help the device dock, if the design of the docking station does not provide tightness.

            I wrote that I don’t really believe that it was possible to save someone. But I am outraged that the first days did not try to do this, and through state channels announced the impossibility of even an elementary immersion in the submarine.
            And once again I will notice about the diving bell, there the tightness of the dock is not needed, it seems.
            Well, about the divers, I’ll remind you once again, I mentioned because I remember very well Putin’s powerful propaganda in the early days of the tragedy, that there are no divers in our country who can go down to the sunken submarine to stupidly relegate with the surviving crew, not to mention the vehicles . Very similar to the fact that they were just waiting for everyone to die. Then the apparatus and divers even appeared, but 2-3 people, the rest are racially faithful Norwegians. The question is why?
            Here is a typical clipping from an article from that year:
            So what happened to the Northern Fleet rescuers? Where are they now? The "MK" correspondent managed to meet with one of those who resigned from "Altai" several years ago - Valery Laizans. This person has experience working at a depth of 376 meters.

            “When officials say on TV that we don’t have specialists in our country who can work at a depth of 100 meters, I’m just shocked,” says Laizans.

            It turns out that if you do not take into account the people who still wear marine epaulets, then there are about five thousand retirees in the country who have the necessary experience working underwater. Everyone who even served as a deep-sea diver and worked without problems at a depth of 160 meters

            Nevertheless, I did not dream that we were driven around by the ears about the impossibility of the work of Russian divers at a depth of 100m. Therefore, I am indignant at such a blatant and frank lie, and there is no faith in the official version, although it is the most plausible.

                In the early days of the tragedy, the Russian leadership, represented by the media under control, launched an information campaign about the inability to not only save the crew, but also to conduct an elementary inspection of the boat without involving NATO specialists. A few days later. when the crew was guaranteed to die suddenly there were deep-sea vehicles and even those same Russian divers whose extinction we were hammered with from all the media.

                Find and ask someone close to you to explain (if you yourself are not able) what information the widows of the victims were given at that very moment, not to mention information for the people. Maybe then it will finally come and there are divers and whether they tried to save someone there or just quietly examined the damage, waited for the knocking to stop, after which the platform suddenly straightened and the hatch opened. Why was it at the highest level to lie that there were no means of salvation? Yes, because there was no rescue operation, they did not ask for help not only abroad, but also inside the country, they did not try to look for funds, but immediately announced the impossibility of working at "such" depth. And the depth turned out to be funny.

                  Give an example of publications!

                  Air Force, London, August 16, 18:35 GMT, 22:35 Moscow time
                  A Kremlin spokesman said Putin had held talks with Clinton about the fate of the Kursk submarine sailors. The two presidents 'conversation lasted about 25 minutes, and, according to Reuters, Clinton reaffirmed the United States' willingness to help Russia in the rescue operation.

                  Immediately after the end of these telephone conversations, Putin gave orders to accept any help in saving the submariners, no matter who they came from. Earlier, the command of the Russian fleet claimed to be able to do on its own.

                  Hopes that the crew is still alive reappeared after Vice-Admiral Vladislav Ilyin, First Deputy Chief of the Navy General Staff, said live on RTR television channel that the submariners were again responding to rescue signals.

                  Tonight, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Kuroyedov, announced that the supply of oxygen on board the boat should be sufficient until 25 August. The admiral is confident that the crew is "alive and fighting for the ship's buoyancy."

                  Other statements were less optimistic. Russian Navy press secretary Igor Dygalo explained in an interview with ORT that the difficulties in rescuing the Kursk's crew were caused by "non-standard damage" to the boat. That is, it is already obvious that the submariners will not be able to get out on their own, and salvation can only come from outside.

                  At the same time, at the time of preparation of this material, the British rescue boat LR5 was still in Norway, since it was not clear how best to deliver it to the Kursk. If the LR5 travels under its own power, it will approach the accident site only after two days. And then, apparently, it might be too late.


                  Apparently, you read only what you write, other comments, by definition, do not interest you. And then, where did you get the idea that I am Putin? The fact that I catch you on not knowing the issue does not apply me to the faithful Putiners. Once again, you need to be more thorough, more thorough, and Google will help you.

First, they announced that the crew is alive and well, they are being given oxygen and tomorrow they will be raised, then they announced that we were joking at you, neither of us nor the diver has a single remaining in the country, not only technology, but "worlds"? ? ", and the" worlds "are not suitable for this, they were made for Spielberg and we have no idea what happened to this boat, either we found it, or our rusty instruments are buggy. A few days later, "okay, we still agree to allow our overseas masters to save our cattle-subjects if there is anyone else left." NATO servicemen came under the guise of peaceful Norwegian divers and took out the corpses, the first compartment was thoroughly destroyed with a control detonation and finally the version was announced to us.
                    Something like that, young man, it was.

But after that, I talked a lot with the participants in the events, and surface and submariners. And to say that the crew did not try to save, to put it mildly, is not correct. If you carefully read my posts (which I doubt), you noticed that our Diver was the first to board Kursk, both our and Norwegian divers worked.

Why was all this lie about the absence of divers and equipment in the country? Look at how people got it into their heads then, how many comments they wrote to me with this decompression. And it turns out that hours after the tragedy, underwater vehicles descended to the Kursk, and the divers must have descended, but at that very time all of us and even the widows of the dead were lied to something completely different. And Putin sneered with "she drowned" when everything was clear for a long time, except perhaps without details. The boat then stranded, in fact, sank among its own fleet, and we were presented with this as a kind of great secret that only the best NATO specialists can uncover.

    Torpedo developers do not agree with the conclusions of the commission and believe that the cause of the torpedo explosion is external impact

    The explosion of the fuel components of the 65-76 torpedo, which killed the Kursk nuclear submarine, could have occurred only as a result of external impact on the torpedo, Stanislav Proshkin, director of the Gidropribor Central Research Institute, told Interfax.

    "We objectively believe that there was an external impact on the torpedo," he said. "There is information that it could have been a local fire."

    In particular, noted Proshkin, "on top of the torpedo in front of the ballast tank there are changes in the structure of the metal from the temperature effect." According to a study carried out by the Central Research Institute "Prometey", which has the most competent specialists in the field of materials science, "clear estimates of this temperature - 550-570 degrees Celsius" were obtained.

    The nuclear submarine "Kursk" had two autonomous, independent control systems. "And any event associated with an increase in pressure inside the tank compartment, an increase in the temperature of peroxide, an increase in the level of oxygen in the gap between the torpedo and the torpedo tube is recorded," Proshkin added.

    “If an increase in temperature is noted in the torpedo tube or on the rack, the crew has six hours to cope with this emergency,” he said. “Including using a special system for draining peroxide overboard if an increase in the temperature of the torpedo on the rack is noted. In the event of a fire, the boat has a powerful fire extinguishing system that instantly drops tens of tons of water. If a torpedo is in a torpedo tube, it is simply fired and the water environment localizes it. "

    The head of Gidropribor also called an absurd version that the cause of the torpedo's thermal explosion could have been a breach of its tightness as a result of a fall that allegedly occurred during loading. "When testing torpedoes, we throw such a torpedo from a height of 10 meters onto a plate, a rail and a pin," he noted, "and there were no emergency situations."

    In the course of the investigation into the case of the Kursk sinking, 18 versions were put forward

    I have a slightly different theory ... In my opinion, we simply blew up the shipmarine without a crew, so as not to damage the reactors ... You ask why? And do you think a boat is worth the state debt of Russia ??? How did we force the US to pay it? Very simple! For starters, we attracted the attention of Americans, so that at the time of the tests, there were Chinese together with Putin (the sale of the Flurry to the Chinese would greatly undermine the American fighting spirit in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean). And then we provoked an American submarine to attack and from above just clicked on a button ... and there is neither Kursk nor public debt .. The crew most likely lives now somewhere in the vastness of our homeland.
    What brought me to this idea? The answer is very simple: an interview with Putin with how he was there - Stephen King if I am not mistaken ... What kind of person will go to America, knowing what he will be asked about ??? His answer to the question "What happened to Kursk" he answered "She drowned" with a certain grin ....

    And besides, in the case there are results of experiments conducted by specialists of the RSC “Applied Chemistry”. And they show that: “... ignition in a torpedo tube occurs only in the case of a drop of spillage of hydrogen peroxide,” and further: “... maintaining a fire in a confined space of a torpedo tube is possible only when a peroxide is spilled at a speed of about 200 grams per give me a sec".
    And the point here is that a more powerful jet simply extinguishes the fire, and with a lower pressure of hydrogen peroxide, the Fire itself suffocates - there is enough air inside the torpedo tube for only 1,5 seconds of burning. And here you do not need to be either a deputy prime minister or a prosecutor general, but you need enough knowledge in chemistry for the 5th grade: regular oxidant supply is required to maintain combustion in a confined space.

    , during the experiments it was also found out that the fuel in our torpedoes is very resistant to high temperature and even with strong heating it does not explode for a very long time (which one is to be kept quiet so as not to tempt foreign intelligence). And that means, if you seriously adhere to the official version, it should be imagined that at the time of the Kursk accident, a fire in the 4th torpedo tube blasts, fire sirens roar, sensors flash, but none of the crew lead with their ears, and the sailors in this time they calmly light cigarettes from the red-hot torpedo tube cover ... Something is awkward so far with official conclusions. It seems that this is not a torpedo, and the official version flows at all seams

What X was put on the boat an abnormal torpedo of caliber 650, which the crew saw for the first time in their eyes, but at the same time there were specialists from the dagdiesel on the boat ...
    Why did the search for the boat begin so late, did the speakers on the ships hear a big boom? It was clear to everyone that there were only a few divers in the country, and there wasn’t anyone able to do anything in the Navy. Why didn’t they immediately accept help from Amers and Norwegians? people could be saved ... many questions and the answer is the same, and I already wrote about it ...

      The speakers on ships and boats did not hear the big boom. They began to look late because before that they were looking for a torpedo "lost" by another boat, which also fired practical torpedoes, and they began to search for "Kursk" when it expired two communication sessions.

          I see a torpedo from the first compartment here in the comments. Maybe something like that was lifted up like the cover of a torpedo tube, but not fragments of the compartment, by the nature of the destruction of which it would be possible to judge the nature of the explosion, were thoroughly blown up at the bottom, that's about it. Isn't that the most glorious thing. what should be raised and investigated? Or maybe you google photos on which destruction would be visible? For some reason, photos that show the construction of the raised part of the submarine as much as you want. We have no secrets from anyone now with this. But for some reason, the discreet first compartment is a mystery, but not for Norwegian divers.
          So, I also remember very well how this very first compartment should have been raised. Then, after talking about it, we waited for the cooling of attention to this tragedy and quietly and peacefully blew everything up at the bottom.

      11.30. The chief of staff of the Federation Council ordered the PK-7500 floating cranes with the autonomous shell AS-36 on board and the sea tug MB-100 to be prepared for access to the area.
      Monday August 14th:
      16.00 p.m. The PK-100 floating crane (captain-cranemeister A. Porubailo) arrived in the search and rescue area in tug MB-7500 with an autonomous shell AS-36 on board. Due to weather deterioration (wind - up to 10 meters per second, sea - 3 points), the AS-36 could not be unloaded. It was decided to send the PK-7500 with the AS-36 on board to the shelter point - Porchnikha Bay for unloading the AS-36 into the water and then towing it to the accident site.

According to the regulations, during the preparation of the training attack, this equipment should have been turned on. In addition, it was found that the emergency buoy alarm was not turned on at the Kursk nuclear submarine and for several years the emergency antenna ejection system was turned off. The factory mounting device, which simply did not allow the buoy to surface, was not removed from the emergency buoy -------- nonsense !!!! the crew and the commander specifically were excellent and they knew their job !!!!!!!! !!!! there was a ------------ attack of another boat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Information for consideration:
    - BZO "fat woman" is equipped with FS (high power). This explosive is phlegmatized with appropriate additives and withstands the hit of a 30 mm projectile without a volumetric explosion, but only with a local flash.
    - a torpedo fuse has up to 3 degrees of protection and independently, without a torpedo exit from a TA, it is not technically possible to get into a combat state;
    - during the operation of hydrogen peroxide torpedoes, there were several contingencies related including with a leak of hydrogen peroxide, but not one did not lead to the explosion of a torpedo.
    And yet, some time after the death of the Kursk, the automatic torpedo attack system was disabled on the American nuclear submarines.

    I don't believe in the official conclusions. The country's leadership did not want to raise the Kursk. The truth could be established by the nature of the explosion, so the first compartment was sawed off and destroyed on the spot. The truth will emerge only after the departure of all those involved from the power structures, and judging by the fact that the LADY is going to change places with the GDP in 6 years, this will not happen soon.

      Of course, I am not a great specialist, but all the same, I have a notion about mine and torpedo armament, since we were seriously trained as commanders of the BC-3 in a sailor, so torpedoes and RSL have several degrees of protection, completely excluding a spontaneous explosion, we gave an example - on the TFR 50 pr, managed to make a shot from the TA in the stowed position, and so, the torpedo pierced the superstructure and nothing ... until the last stage is removed, there will be no explosion, especially since the explosive is not banal TNT, but sea ​​mix,. Well, this is what it was necessary to apply on the TA, so that the torpedo detonated, but a direct hit from a torpedo is quite likely, especially since it "arrives" just between the first and second compartments.
      At the expense of degrees, as far as I can’t remember exactly, something like this: the first one is taken off when entering data, the second when leaving the TA, the next one at the first turn (so as not to get into oneself) then at the second turn, and then I don’t remember, but it seemed to be a couple

    By chance, the author of these lines had to deal with the death of “Kursk” from the moment of the first official announcement on August 13 that “the boat lay on the ground”, and up to the moment of lifting the remains of the missile carrier and placing it in the Roslyakovo dock. All this time I kept the official website Kursk.ru, where online information about the rescue operation appeared online. After that, in another publication, he wrote another year about the progress of the investigation. At the end of 2004, an unexpected proposal appeared from the Prosecutor General’s Office to write a script and make a film based on the book by the Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov “The Truth About Kursk”. At the first meeting, I honestly said that I did not completely trust the official version of the absence of those responsible for this disaster, and I believe that the prosecutor's office has something to hide. The senior investigator for particularly important cases of the Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office, Arthur Egiev, did not convince me of anything, brought to his office all 118 volumes of the case and a couple dozen volumes with video applications and said: “That's it - study it and draw conclusions yourself.” I doubted again - the matter can be falsified. Yes, it is possible, Yegiev agreed, but only when one person leads him. A team of almost 50 investigators worked right there, hundreds of experts from various organizations from military to forensic and civilian experts conducted examinations, and almost 1000 witnesses gave testimonies. If someone had hidden something, then sooner or later it would have surfaced.

    If the Americans really sank the boat, then the 2000s were not the time for war, because the Russian Federation after the EBN was still weak, and Putin had just arrived. I think that Putin will remind the Americans about Kursk. That's why everyone says that Americans are afraid of Putin.

    So was international help needed? Now, when many of the events of those tragic days are seen differently, it is absolutely clear that neither English nor Norwegian help was absolutely needed, because the tragic outcome of the situation with the Kursk was already completely clear to the professionals. The decision to invite the “Varangians” was more a political decision than dictated by real necessity.
    — I didn’t need foreigners! The decision on them was made without me. I was at sea all the time, and I had no time for them, - this is how Admiral Vyacheslav Popov answered this question.
    However, mass psychosis, fueled primarily by the media, took its toll. From morning to evening they shouted furiously from television screens about the lack of domestic means of rescue, about the need for immediate reprisals against the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the Navy. It never even occurred to anyone that from a depth of more than 100 meters, divers, no matter how experienced they may be, would never be able to save a single person on their own. At their first attempt to open the hatch into the 9th compartment, all the people who were there would have died immediately, if not from the release of air (with its release the air cushion in which people could still breathe would have disappeared), then from the pressure drop, which instantly amounted to would be more than 10 atmospheres. It is possible to rescue submariners from such depths only by “dry” means, that is, as a result of the suction of the underwater vehicle. The fact of the flooding of the airlock chamber and the deformation of the coaming platform indicated that not a single device, neither ours nor foreign, would be able to stick to its mirror.
    Then, in August 2000, there was a lot of talk about the “criminal delay in seeking help from the all-powerful world community.” Why haven’t the Navy leadership been accused of anything in connection with this? It was agreed that the rescue operation was being disrupted deliberately and deliberately in order to hide the true cause of the tragedy from the public and protect oneself from unwanted witnesses. It is impossible to imagine greater blasphemy! However, while politicians and journalists were making accusations, our guys were doing everything in their power to save their comrades. And they would definitely have saved them if they had even one chance in a thousand. Alas, there was no such chance...

    From the certificate in criminal case No. 29/00/0016/00 about the death of the Kursk anti-aircraft missile system, published by Prosecutor General V. Ustinov:
    A criminal case was initiated on August 23, 2000 on the grounds of a crime under Part 3 of Art. 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation - violation of traffic safety rules and operation of maritime transport, resulting in the death of two or more persons through negligence. I would like to remind you that at the initial stage of the preliminary investigation we had extremely limited information about the disaster. In this regard, 18 working versions were put forward about its causes. The main ones were the following:
    — collision of the Kursk anti-aircraft missile system with a Russian or foreign submarine or surface ship;
    — defeat of the Kursk anti-ship missile system by a torpedo or missile by a Russian or foreign submarine or surface ship;
    - sabotage;
    - detonation of the Kursk APRK on a mine from the Great Patriotic War;
    — the death of the Kursk anti-aircraft missile system as a result of an emergency situation with its weapons.
    ...The objectivity of the conclusions of the preliminary investigation and the causes of death of the Kursk APRK is based on numerous scientific and multiple instrumental-analytical studies of a huge number (more than 2000) of fragments raised from the bottom of the Barents Sea and recovered from the 1-3rd compartments of the Kursk APRK ", including more than 30 fragments belonging to an exploded practical torpedo and more than 10 fragments of torpedo tube No. 4, in which this torpedo was located. Recorded changes in the material of the fragments (degree of deformation, features of the microstructure of the metal and the microrelief of the fracture surfaces) that occurred as a result of explosions are objective “witnesses” of the events that took place.

    It seems to me that the “torpedo hole” is too big for the Mk-48.
    In addition, the hull of the boat is concave towards the hole. What kind of energy must a toreda have to tangentially (!) leave such a dent. At the Black Sea Fleet, when training torpedoes were fired at ships, there was only a blow to the hull (a training torpedo is an ordinary one, only instead of a warhead it has a rubber knob).
    Compare the diameter of the hole with the height of people - at least a meter. Calculate what the speed should be!

If we raise a boat with living people, they will tell lies to the media and everyone, So the decision is deplorable, But with this we can avoid a nuclear war, and then they came to us amers and covered our debt to them and even gave us compensation.. It seemed to me that it was very difficult for Putin at that time.. leave to perish for the sake of peace

    If you compare the two photographs, you can see that there is no penetration of the pressure hull, so this hole on the starboard side can hardly be considered a torpedo mark, although it is very similar. I also want to say that immediately after the sinking of the Kursk, an emergency white-green buoy was noticed in the sea, then this information was hushed up.

      not a buoy, but a jellyfish that looks like a buoy. This is exactly what the message from Peter the Great sounded like.

    This is what Putin said at a meeting with the mothers and wives of Kursk sailors
    quote:
    Putin. You know, we have no other information, no other versions. Or a real collision, or a mine, perhaps an explosion inside the boat, although experts do not think so - practically unrealistic, but theoretically possible. I repeat: in addition to the military, I also talked with technical specialists, which means the hole is very large - one and a half by two meters. Apparently from an explosion. The explosion was so powerful that, of course, in the first compartments the tragedy occurred within one and a half to two minutes...

    Then it’s not clear why the entire bow of the submarine would be cut off because of a hole of one and a half by two meters???

      I recommend reading the timeline of the tragedy and rescue operation first. This is so as not to ask unnecessary questions and not to indulge your imagination. There is an answer to the question of why cut off the first compartment

    Here is about the explosion of torpedoes in 1962 on a B-37 in Polyarny. The boat, with two compartments torn off, remained afloat. Kursk and the crew were destroyed by the decision
    Lyachina dive in! And this decision was imposed on him by the leadership of the Fleet. I stated the reasons here earlier. Yu Petrunin

    The official version is of course nonsense. There is one interesting book, “Swept Abyss. The death of the "Kursk" is called, the author is N.A. Cherkashin, and so, all versions of what happened are considered and analyzed there, and the author, by the way, is also a submariner in the past, and therefore understands perfectly well and is well versed in what he writes about, leaning towards versions that there was a collision with an American submarine

      Kolya Cherkashin is a former political officer with the B-409. And that's it.
      And for him, the reference book is the materials of the CPSU congresses, and not the RBZh PL and other documents. And the literary gift of all political officers is very developed and adapts to the party line. And of course, for Nikolai (I know him personally, they served at the same time, lived in the same barracks) without America, like Mikhail Zadornov, it’s absolutely impossible.
      On Cherkashin’s boat, for his military service, the largest crossword puzzle in the world was compiled (which everyone in Polyarny had heard about), glued from grid cards. As an example: -A cloudy hangover drink? Not kvass at all, but brine.
      Use logic, comrade officers.

        Does Putin know the structure of a submarine? Does he know that ASB cannot be brewed, that the buitros from the ASB will lie on the coaming area and will not allow the bell to stick? Who should know this? Putin or Lyachin?
        Putin said as he said: “She drowned,” and did not come out with the icon like Dygalo, the son of the eldest Dygalo, to the people to speak Kuroyedov’s mantras about knocks from a solid body. Present your claims to V. Popov, and not to Putin.

    As Mr. Antonov sings:

    They say that in our century
    Nothing can surprise you
    They say the secrets have disappeared
    Sliding along the sea waves.

    They say it's on the map now
    There are no more white spots
    They say it is now known
    An answer to any question.

    Chorus:

    But still, but still, what interest do we have?
    Without risk of living and without thrills?
    But still, but still I really want miracles
    And the most impossible adventures!

    And I thought to myself, remembering how South Koreans love to torture dogs to secrete a special enzyme that prolongs their life. There are all sorts of crazy shows in Japan. Can't they combine both bread and circuses?

    I wonder if maybe the owners of the Sailor's Silence restaurant will tell you, they say Masons can foresee the future and control the universe.

    Probably also skilled chefs? (I

    Maybe the Kursk didn’t just sink, maybe it was blown up by a UFO, and the crew, as depicted in the Mitkov gallery, are like the Australians who were not sent into battle, but thrown to be devoured in Gallipoli.

    Rumor has it that 267 members of the Royal Australian Army were abducted by a UFO?

    I won’t develop the topic about “Hard Target”; illiterate people don’t know that it’s a bad omen to wear gas on yourself. But I’d recommend watching about The Mummy. Countless treasures, Egyptian women - beauties, and generally pleasant actors. Especially the sweet girl who also starred in Enemy at the Gates

    PieS: For the Baltic people, I will add that they also tried to make you illiterate. Have you heard the word “magic”, G - can also be read as L. Ask the guys from the team of builders from “Our Russia”, they dug such a den! Back in 1996, I was carrying a Minsk crystal chandelier across the world, although it was very beautiful, but they made a hole in the floor, and...

    By the way, walking near Asian chukmekom, my schizophrenia begins to chatter, sometimes frighteningly, in pure Russian. True, now it’s much more vocal. Thank you.

    Arigato, pi(da)rates! Are you feasting while the Slavs are being killed?

    PieS: and for people who know who the real Lithuanians are, as it is displayed on the Wikipedia page “knight”, and not by the Greek -atas and -chis, then I will say that I really liked the picture of Zi Mitkov, where a sailor hugs a woman in orange .

    By the way, do you know what roof means in Lithuanian? Stogas?

    And say hello to Seryoga from the Far East, from Mrs. Monika and from me.

    On the armored personnel carrier, not to be confused with the Boston terrorist attack, I, as in the songs, “ordered” me, without delay, for 6 months. Well, it’s a black spot on the asphalt, in the form of an armored personnel carrier’s nose, on the horn opposite the park’s Telstra with the code of the colony. There they were also installing a “stage 2” fence, and they were going to repair the pier.

    I, personally, am a big collector of KV-1 tank models, incl. KV-1S. The appearance of the formidable machine, as well as its fur, are worthy of respect.

    UFO is what made me write this comment, the tales of Jabba the Hut. Or about kwa kings. It turns out that German folklore is simply teeming with them. And this is how interesting it is that the word toad is translated into languages ​​in Google Translator.

    PieS: this has never happened to you, you are driving down the street, immersed in your thoughts, and here, like in the cartoon about “Simpson-Lone,” they are trying to break through your consciousness from the outside. And is this connected either with advertising or with Asian hypnotist snipers midgets?
    It seems that their flu does not save people from criminals, but helps criminals drag honest people to the other side of the law. Werewolves in uniform.

    toad =
    Vietnamese cóc
    Japanese ヒキガエル (Huh?)
    Germanic Kröte
    Finnish rupikonna

    By the way, have you heard about the toad from the German city of Bautzen?
    Here is an example of the tower of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (from Lake Peipsi) in the same city.
