Kursk Conspiracy
 

Don't know if this has been posted before, but anyways the brief outline below describes an alternative theory to what happend...

Film: Kursk: a Submarine in Troubled Waters
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian..._the_explosion

I saw a documentary made by CBC, and actually they were saying that Shkval exploded
when they tried to launch it at a target.

I would say that it`s totall bullshit, IF an american submarine would sink a russian one it would be a classic case of casus belli.
And I doubt that "curiosity" would push the two american Los Angeles class subs, so close to a russian exercise.

Anybody heard/read some other theories ?

BTW Max can you upload the whole movie ?

Me too, I have serious doubt about this "French theory" about what sunk the Kurks submarine. The Kursk an Akula class (Typhoon) type 949A nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine (SSGN) is built around three concentric cylinder (multi-hulled) and is designed to resist from the assault of several conventional torpedo hits.

I remain with the version of an accident around the handling by Russian navy of the famous "bubble gas" torpedo named Shkval. It's true the US Navy was in the sector to observe the Russian Navy maneuvers, but they are not responsible. In more they offered their assistance to the Russian government which has refused any International help during several days.


BTW, I am very interested to see this French theory video. Merci à l'avance ! :wink:

Very interested in the french version too :D

I'll get it up by tommorow...

Very interesting!! :shock: :o

Thanks!

schwalbe is right, there is undeniable documented evidence...

It is my understanding that the russian people (families of those who died) don't trust the story, however... but this is a very different russia then it used to be.

since i don't speak more then 10 words of french, i shall pass, thanks for the offer tho.

I've heard of this theory, and don't believe it. It sounds plausible in theory, but given the post Cold War political climate, you would think Russia and the US would not be engaging in acts of war against each other.

Thanks max.. Its definitely an interesting theory :good:

Hmm I'd never heard of this. Too bad it's in french :(

well i could add subs to it...but i'd probably make half of them up...

Like several JW people, I very like all about military contents. I'm happy to see the first video from the reborn "Conspiracy theory" topic it's about a military issue. Thanks a lot Max Power for this one. :D :good:

It's cool, I'll just wiki it.

I'm downloading a vid called "Secret societies" done by the history channel. If I get it I'll try to upload it.

just found this....although it won't be much help ... russian subs :(

The Kursk was an attack submarine belonging to Oscar II Class

Akula class is something different

And Typhoon an ICBM carrier:

You really mixed them badly :?

haha....shows how much you know :lol: :P

Yeah your right it's in fact an Oscar II Class submarine, thanks to have indicated. I looked too quickly his silhouette in the Max Power video preview. However that doesn't change anything of what I said, because these two submarines are built on the same principle (multi-hulled) and in more of being assembled on the same place at Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk. :wink:

Not the conspiracy story but the full story of the Kursk itself.

thanx for the links max!

It was indeed an interesting documentary even if of course we'll never know what really happened in the Barents sea...
