From the American side has come the message  concerning  what
reason the Russian atomic  submersible  could  perish  for  K-141
"Kursk". Under the supposition of the admirals  of  the  American
fleet it has taken place as follows: during a torpedo  attack  on
pontoons,  on  this  Russian  subsurface  ship  there    was    a
unsuccessful start-up of a torpedo. Shot the torpedo leaving from
a torpedo launcher tube, has sticked in it(him), having  put  out
approximately half outside. And at once after that its(her)  tail
a drive has blown up. A bit later - approximately in  one  minute
or two, the warhead of a torpedo has blown up also, as  a  result
of the second explosion the submarine of "Kursk" has  received  a
trim by the head, has hit about bottom and has perished. However,
the American admirals deeply err. All has taken place at all  so.
Their version - is a mistake.
    Business in that modern torpedoes on submersibles more  often
electrical, in their basis ordinary accumulators, which basically
blow up can not. But even, if by  a  fantastic  image  to  assume
explosion of a drive of a torpedo sticked  in  a  pipe,  by  this
explosion a fore of a torpedo NECESSARILY WILL PUSH  OUT  forward
of a torpedo pipe, why she(it) quite safely will  sink  and  will
not blow up, not  having  plotted  a  submersible  of  any  harm.
Because the submarine torpedoes have  no  the  self-liquidator  -
that is, device of explosion on a finite phase of trajectory,  as
against antiaircraft projectiles - that at cases of a gross error
to not produce to anti-submarine vessels of the fact of  presence
of a submersible. Therefore also could not work torpedo  head  in
two minutes - for it(her) simply there is no fuse  from  time  of
course.
     Besides - you see there were doctrines, instead of the  war,
and attack on pontoons was too educational, therefore shot by  an
EDUCATIONAL torpedo not having any explosive, but  only  a  smoke
candle for cloning hit. And the  educational  torpedo  after  the
release remains whole, and she(it) again is accepted to  usage  -
by(with) torpedo drives and all their instruments  are  extremely
dear(expensive). If on pontoons to shoot by warshot  torpedoes  -
neither torpedoes, nor pontoons not ­ ¯ á¥èìáï. And from  it  all
is clear - torpedo basically blow up could not. It by the way  is
very easy for testing: you see the course  of  the  doctrines  is
planed beforehand, any amateur performance is  not  admitted,  an
ammunition for educational shooting beforehand is assigned  also.
Therefore in  an  army  headquarters  of  northern  fleet  should
perfectly know, what sorts by a torpedo  collected  to  shoot  of
"Kursk" - educational or battle?
    On the other hand - the Norwegian seismic servers have  fixed
the second explosion by force approximately 1-2 tons of a  trotyl
equivalent. However, it is precisely known, that the torpedo  was
one (on  the  doctrines  expenditure  of  torpedoes  is  strictly
limited  is  not  at  battle  volley  To  shooting).  And  it  is
impossible such to assume, that in torpedo  tubes  simultaneously
have sticked all six shooting of  torpedoes.  But  why  torpedoes
there should be six? And 300 kgs are simple because weight  of  a
warhead of any torpedo only. And she(it) in any way does not pull
on force of explosion of 2000 kgs of a trinitrotoluol (TNT). Only
six torpedoes at once. But as the torpedo  ostensibly  which  has
sticked in a means on supposition of the American admirals, there
could be only one, then she(it) could not blow up with  force  of
2000 kgs in any way. A conclusion from here follows: the American
admirals do not know the elementary facts, which are  known  even
for the schoolboys, that of a weight of the torpedo head only 300
kgs.
