“The target is very bold.” A Russian submarine surfaced not far from the coast of France. Public reports about the accident

“NATO stands ready to defend our Alliance with constant vigilance and maritime situational awareness on both sides of the Atlantic,” it said.

The Alliance notes that the surveillance is being conducted by a French frigate.

The UKDJ publication writes that we are talking specifically about Novorossiysk; Russian publics reported about the accident on the submarine back on September 27.

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel, which in Russia is associated with former journalist of the Rosbalt news agency Alexander Shvarev, reports that due to damage in the Novorossiysk fuel system, fuel flows directly into the hold. There are no parts for repairs or qualified specialists on the boat, the personnel are not able to fix the malfunctions. Due to the serious accident, other problems began to occur.

Fuel accumulated in the hold is an explosive factor. The source believes that the crew has no other choice but to dump the fuel directly into the sea.

According to the channel, the classified emergency occurred on August 7. While performing “combat missions” in the Temryuk Gulf of the Sea of ​​Azov as part of a group, the ship collided with a civilian tanker and was seriously damaged. The report stated that the ship was allegedly damaged during a UAV attack, and damage to the ship did not affect its further combat readiness.

Journalist Ivan Yakovina wrote that the nature of the damage does not allow repairs to be carried out on the open sea, but the boat cannot get to the dock due to a fuel spill.

“It’s even interesting what they will do with it now. But even more interesting is whether some good Ukrainian drone will be able to quickly reach it. The target is very bold,” he added.
