The Russian nuclear submarine Kursk, which sank in the Barents Sea in August 2000, could not sink due to a collision with American submarines, as it was significantly larger than them, writes the Polish newspaper Defense24.

The publication claims that the American submarines Memphis (6,900 tons) and Toledo, as well as the British submarine Splendid (4,900 tons) were in the region at the time of the Kursk crash (with a displacement of 23,900 tons). The publication reminds that in terms of size and displacement, the western ships were significantly inferior to the Russian submarine, so their collision with the latter would rather lead to a problem with them.

In this way, Defense24 commented on the statement of the former commander of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Vyacheslav Popov, who had previously stated that the Kursk nuclear submarine has sunk as a result of a collision with a NATO submarine.
In November, The Drive reported that Russia could be involved in the damage and disappearance of submarine cables from the Lofoten-Vesterolen marine observatory off the coast of northern Norway, capable of tracking the movement of submarines.
In July 2019, the NRK reported that the Norwegian intelligence service was aware of the crash 3.5 hours before the accident was reported to Russia’s Northern Fleet. In particular, it is noted that the Norwegian specialists who received the data for the second explosion of the submarine already understood that water had penetrated into it, as a result of which a few seconds later the submarine found itself at the bottom of the Barents Sea at a depth of 108. meters.
The Russian nuclear submarine cruiser (APRK) “Kursk” sank on August 12, 2000 in the Barents Sea, 175 kilometers from the Russian city of Severomorsk at a depth of 108 meters. According to the official version, the tragedy was due to a torpedo explosion on board and the subsequent detonation of ammunition in the course of the exercises of the Northern Fleet. All 118 crew members were killed.
