How many times before Russia can't have nuclear anything anymore?

Last WEEK? Off to read the link. This was not the first time for the Russians/Soviets. I read a book about another one, this makes the third or more occasion of this?

Averted a nuclear meltdown?
No doubt they were brave.
I wonder why so many officers were on the sub...

Much of a submarine crew is officers on any standard sub. Couple that with the highly classified status of nuclear subs, you get a very high officer ratio. US does the same thing I’d imagine.

This is why I think a lot of people really aren't afraid of Russian Military or their propaganda. This shouldn't be happening.

They really need to fix that AZed-5 button.

Three incidents that we know of...
Then there's the Kyshtym Disaster in 1957. Radioactive contamination accident that occurred on 29 September 1957 at Mayak, a plutonium production site in Russia for nuclear weapons and nuclear fuel reprocessing plant of the Soviet Union.

i dunno what is considered a high officer ratio, but my first hand observation is that there are a crap ton of enlisted men aboard an SSBN.
when you say officer, are you referring to commissioned officers only or including Chiefs?

This was no simple nuclear meltdown. There was an attempted false flag attack on that submarine. It was supposed to fire its nuclear payload and start WWIII. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed and war was averted. They sacrificed their lives to save hundreds of millions of lives.

This is gonna make a great mini series in 25 years.

Same as the Chernobyl firefighers and liquidators

Alternate take: Russian nuclear incompetence on full display again

Reading between the lines, they must have encountered one of those undersea alien craft our Navy has been seeing.

An American sub also came under fire at the same time as the Russian one. However, the American vessel was able to avoid being damaged and escape.
This plot was foretold in the Gerard Butler film "Hunter Killer".

"Comrade Commander, why is our nuclear submarine on fire?"
"Because this is Russia."
