NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Russia was forced to abandon a nuclear-powered torpedo test from one of its submarines in recent weeks, a US intelligence source has confirmed.
A number of Russian naval vessels were spotted making preparations to carry out a trial in the Arctic Sea earlier this month, before suddenly leaving.
It is believed the crew may have encountered a technical error which forced them to abandon their training exercise and return to port.
Among the naval ships was the Russian sub Belgorod – the world’s largest nuclear-powered submarine – which is said to be equipped with eight Poseidon ‘doomsday’ missiles.
