Russian nuclear submarine breaks down in Danish waters

Video Summary

A Russian nuclear attack submarine, the Oskar-2 class subsurface vessel “Ariel”, experienced a propulsion problem while transiting the Danish Straits, resulting in it drifting for about an hour and a half. The incident was reported by the Danish Navy and the submarine’s own crew. The Russian submarine was eventually able to repair the issue and continue its journey. The event has raised questions about the maintenance state of Russian submarines and the safety of their operations. The use of social media by the Danish Navy to report the incident has also been noted, with the crew of the patrol ship “Diana” sharing the story on their Facebook page. The Russian news agency Tass denied the incident, claiming that all went as planned, but many observers saw this as an attempt to mislead and undermine the credibility of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
