Russian super-weapon carried by a super-weapon neither so super?
From Radar Online | 11 November 22 the original [?] story MSN.
"Vladimir Putin’s infamous submarine, dubbed the Belgorod, is reportedly headed back to port after a series of failed tests in the Arctic Sea, RadarOnline.com has learned."
"The development comes just years after the submarine was first put into service in 2019 and its return to port marks just the latest loss for the already struggling Russian leader."
"Even more startling is the fact that the nuclear-powered torpedo launched from the Belgorod, named the 'Poseidon' and put into service in July, failed to launch from the submarine during a series of test launches."
POSEIDON NUCLEAR-POWERED TORPEDO CARRYING ENORMOUS NUCLEAR WARHEAD WILL NOT LAUNCH? THAT SUBMARINE DEVOTED AS THE DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR POSEIDON ALSO DEFECTIVE IN SOME REGARD? LOTS OF QUESTIONS HERE.
Once more the proud Russian military with big time egg-on-face?
"have egg on your face - idiom informal | egg on your face, you look stupid because of something that you have done" [or did not do]
Those original Soviet era nuclear submarines [November class] went right into production without having built a prototype for testing. November as a consequence had many problems with quality control and untested and untried systems.
This one informed Soviet admiral said this did NOT pose a problem. Difficulties were "worked out" went vessels went on patrol, encountered difficulties, solutions found!
I can imagine the orders came from the very top, "get those boats underway and do it now".
coolbert.
