Report: Russian Sub Attacks & Destroys a US Submarine in US Waters - Is It Fake News? - Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Mission Fleet

Published on Jul 3, 2019

This report is NOT yet confirmed. At this time, all we have is an unconfirmed report that alleges that this happened from an Israeli military/intelligence related website called Debka. If you can confirm the information here, please share a link in the comments below. We don’t have any proof yet – so don’t rush to judgement.

Both countries are hushed about all of the details – including the location of the damaged Russian Sub, and whether or not any fire-fight took place between the US and Russia. The original artiucle from Debka says that this took place off the coast of Alaska – an American ship was “scuttled” (which means it was sunk or destroyed).

This seems to be a different event from the reports of Russia’s Submarine fire which killed several mariners – though it is possible that they are related. The American ship /sub had moved to intercept the Russian Submarine and escort the vessel – when it opened fire on the US ship. Could this be a mistake – a slip up? Perhaps if it is, we may see nothing more about this story and no further escalation. I think that is the best case scenario. Right now there is no official admission of ANY of this – and the US Navy claims that all assets are accounted for. Developing…

The mystery of the ultra-secret Russian “Losharik” submarine disaster

By Diane Shalem / DEBKAfile

At least 14 Russian naval officers and sailors died in a fire on a top-secret Russian AS-12 deep-water submarine on Monday, July 1. Some had been awarded the highest military honor of “Hero of the Russian Federation.”  But when on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov was asked for details about the disaster, he declined, saying that information about the vessel would not be released because it “is classified” as a state secret for protecting the country’s national security.

Regarding the crew, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu disclosed only that they were “unique military specialists, highly qualified professionals, performing important research on the Earth’s hydrosphere.

Neither cited the vessel’s name. However, DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources have learned that the AS-12’s work was so secret that officials only mentioned its nickname: “Losharik,” which has a double connotation. In the 70s, Russian TV ran an animation series built around a horse made up of small balls known as Losharik. The stricken submarine was also made of interlinked titanium balls.

But the most secret department of the Russian Defense Ministry whose functions are known to very few insiders is also referred to as “Losharik.”. The nickname therefore pointed to the submarine’s highly classified missions.

One premise is that the vessel was engaged either in testing a new Russian secret underwater weapon or in a covert operation against a top-secret American object of some kind. Its exact location when the fire broke out and its cause – whether an explosion or an attack – remain hidden. This information may not come to light for years to come. But just as intriguing is the fact that, on Tuesday, June 2, when the Russian leadership met urgently in the Kremlin in connection with the submarine disaster, top officials were also called to the White House  for an emergency consultation.

What did Washington have to do with the Russian submarine disaster? The two powers are evidently colluding to cover up what happened. You will find more, much more, about this mysterious episode in the coming issue of DEBKA Weekly (for subscribers) out on Friday, July 5. Click here to sign on.

……don’t you mean “sank”? Scuttling occurs when a ships crew purposefully sinks their own ship to avoid capture by a hostile force. If this were truly a fire aboard a Russian sub and only that, emergency security meetings would not now be in progress on three different continents.

There is an article from a year and a half ago in “The Berant Observer” a publication out of Norway. It disusses the large upscaled submarine force of Russia, the targeting of transatlantic internet cables and whole Russian under ice (slush) ocean spy type monitoring in the Arctic.

Zero chance of leak if two subs had a battle nobody would know except the highest levels of gov. If they are deep underwater they are silent!

L Simms20 hours ago (edited)

The problem I have with this story is the Russians are saying the Sub is in Barents Sea, pretty much north of Finland in the Murmansk area at Severomorsk. The Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska. Go to Google Earth and look at the shortest possible great circle distance – even allowing for some of these crazy claims of “territorial waters” it’s thousands of miles away (which would be necessary if any vessel was actually escorted out of territorial waters into international waters) I’ll agree Russia’s constant claims of “territorial waters” might mean those crazy claims where everybody tries to claim waters up to the North Pole but that still doesn’t account for this & it wouldn’t include any valid claim to escort somebody out of territorial waters. This story is a mess. (not the video here I mean the whole story & all it’s variations on the internet)

Officially, Russia is reporting a fire on one of their subs, killing 14 crew members. I agree that more must have happened. Especially when Emergency meetings among the governments on three different continents were held simultaneously. Is the U.S. standing down to avoid nuclear war ? Or are we on the precipice ? Let’s pray for our military and for cooler heads to prevail in this dark hour.

Its fake news. Debka Files. Use critical thinking. Use logic. Do you really believe that something like this would remain secret from the public for more than 24 hours? There would be such fury within the ranks of US command, The US Intelligence Community, and Naval Command that any such thing, any exchange of fire would provoke an immediate and overwhelming response somewhere in the world, against Russian Naval Vessels, Naval Ports and Installations in the Arctic region, East coastal region. Someone would spill the beans..Especially on the US side. If Russia had taken such action, they would already be publicly announcing their so called “legal right to defend” its forces from unprovoked US aggression…on RT, Sputnik and TASS to say the least. Alaska region would be swarming with US directed anti-submarine operations.

Morpheus 2 1 second ago I do not believe what happened in Alaska is real, or my opinion is that Putin and trump with others planned a false flag event, to deescalate the tension with Iran. where I am going is this, the issue with Iran is far more serious than it happened would crash the world economy and cripple many nations, and I know one country who seems to be pushing for this war and I am not talking Saudi Arabia, you the one always accusing Iran of building a bomb, they are the ones sh*t stirring know that America would have to jump in.. with this Alaska event the pressure will be taken of that situation for a while for these nations to find a way out of this more dangerous situation, Those black hats will not like it. but when have they ever cared about other humans on this planet.. we have seen no real proof of any damage. and I would think that if this event had occurred we would see both side propaganda machine Russia and America accusing each other. we do not, so it was a planned false flag involving more than one nation to foil the deep state planned Iran, Saudi and Israeli America war in that region, this event will give that power some time to find a solution, but I guarantee you it is the only temporary has those black hats will find a way to start this shit off.

Mike Pence’s plane never took off. He never left Washington. I think the Russain Sub was tapping into US underwater cables to spy on the US and got caught. The Russian sub attacked when got caught just like they did when they attacked the Fitsgerald destroyer but this time it didn’t work out very well.

We’re being told one thing that we don’t but I know we do we are the first space force. We have the technology to take out anybody in the world at any time. But I do think all this is the Deep State trying to cause a war

That sub is either carrying a nuclear bomb or electromagnetic pulse ( EMP). Russia is gonna set that off on one of the coasts and either do a knockout to the grid or try to do a complete annihilation to the American people. Iran is gonna attack Israel in the east forcing the United states to back Israel. Then putin will side with iran and cause the end of times.

If there is a more responsible way to report something that is not yet confirmed – I’d love to know. As it is, until there is some kind of confirmation, everyone needs to remain skeptical. We will soon see whether or not this information is real.

Ok if you scuttle a ship then ur more or less just dumping it , this Russian sub also holds a smaller submersible under it , yes it has in the past been seen or caught messing with cables in the past but , I think you’d of known by now submariners families would of took to social media by now I’m sure or something would of come out , at worst it’s just diss info against USA over the latest tensions in the Middle East , relax but these videos don’t help and Hal who started this should of backed it up a bit more , cobra did not meet today and I can tell you that %100 ! My opinion , they were maybe trying there old connection to cables for listening purposes or even slight sabotage but as with most Russian hardware probly broke or Ill trained crew this sub is getting old now

We’re truly the idiots for allowing these power hungry, greedy, evil men to ruin our lives and our world. Maybe we really don’t deserve to survive for allowing all these wars to be carried out in our names for so many generations.

To “Scuttle” is to destroy ones ship by deliberately sinking by explosives, opening seacocks or hatches, etc. It has zero to do with destroying the enemies ship or vessel. Russia and the US aren’t trading blows, it’s all rumor. When are people going to pull their heads out of their rear ends and realize that Israel are the terrorists of the damn world and any kind of confrontation in the middle east is all for the Synagogue of Satan?
