Super Russian Torpedo
2002-01-22 12:49:19
A fascinating link that details the possibility of the Russian Navy developing a 230 mph super cavitating torpedo called the Squall, which, if true, would quickly alter the balance of naval power around the world.
The article goes on to claim that it is possible that the Kursk, the Russian submarine that was lost with all hands last year, was testing the next generation of the Squall, when something went horribly wrong and the bow of the sub was blown off with the equivalent of 5 tons of TNT.
There's a lot of off-the-cuff speculation, unanswered questions, and cloak and dagger stuff, but little hard information, just the way you conspiracy buffs like it.
