NATO Chief Mocks ‘Broken’ Russian Submarine | Kremlin Denies Any Malfunction |Russia Ukraine|#shorts #HindustanTimes

Russia’s Black Sea Fleet said the diesel-powered submarine Novorossiysk had surfaced off France to comply with navigation rules in the English Channel, and rejected reports it had suffered a serious malfunction.

But Dutch authorities said at the weekend that the submarine was under tow in the North Sea. And Rutte, in a speech in Slovenia, said the vessel was “broken.”

VChK-OGPU, a shadowy Telegram channel that publishes purported Russian security leaks, reported on September 27 that fuel was leaking into the hold of the Novorossiysk, raising the risk of an explosion.

NATO’s Maritime Command published photographs on October 9 of what it said was a French navy frigate observing a Russian submarine operating on the surface off the coast of Brittany.

On Saturday, the Dutch defence ministry said the Dutch navy had escorted the Novorossiysk and an accompanying towing vessel, the Yakov Grebelsky, in the North Sea.

The Russian Black Sea Fleet said on Monday that the submarine was conducting a “scheduled inter-fleet transit” after completing tasks in the Mediterranean.
