"Now, in effect, there is hardly any Russia n naval presence in the Mediterranean left. There's a lone and broken Russia n submarine limping home from patrol. What a change from the 1984 Tom Clancy novel The Hunt for Red October. Today, it seems more like the hunt for the nearest mechanic."
"There are no spare parts for repairs or qualified specialists on the submarine, and the crew is unable to fix the malfunctions,"
"Information disseminated by a number of media outlets about an alleged malfunction and, as a result, the emergency surfacing of the diesel-electric submarine Novorossiysk off the coast of France does not correspond to reality."
A Kilo-class Russian submarine, Novorossiysk, is being monitored by NATO and the Royal Navy while transiting the English Channel and North Sea and has been classed as an explosive hazard. VChK-OGPU reported diesel fuel leaking directly into the hold and said there are no spare parts or qualified specialists aboard, leaving the crew unable to fix malfunctions. The accumulated fuel in the hold is presenting an explosive hazard. NATO’s Secretary General mocked the diminished Russian naval presence, citing a lone, damaged submarine returning from patrol. The Black Sea Fleet press service denied that an emergency surfacing off France occurred.
