A distress signal followed on December 23. Spanish rescue units responded and found the ship heavily tilted. The captain claimed mechanical failure, but hull damage showed signs of an external strike consistent with a supercavitating torpedo.

Spy shit? War shit? Both shit?

As far as I'm concerned for Russia: "Eat shit."

Don't care who did it or why, other than to give them a round of applause and buy them a beer.

Leaving North Koreans without electricity isn't good shit actually, US + EU sanctions kill half a million people yearly. How many innocent civilians will be left without access to energy as a consequence?

Im sure NK was totally going to use a reactor built for nuclear submarines for.... civilian use, even though they annouced building a nuclear submarine a few months ago.

Oh, my bad, I assumed it was for civilian use.

Russia is the only country with supercavitating torpedoes. However, the damage they cause wouldn't be any different than a conventional torpedo.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I don't see how the blast damage would indicate the torpedoes propulsion type. Which makes me question the rest of the details.

So, somebody knows about those ships and is capable of sinking them. Why are not more sunk?
