As raised Kursk. Next & gt; & gt;
Let us remember?
- As everyone knows ASMC "Kursk", also known as the submarine project 949A (for the eyes "loaf") died in combat shooting in the Barents Sea at a depth of about 100 meters.
Here are some photos taken during the examination of the boat after lifting.
Mamut barge lifting
Boat dock PD-50
General view of the destruction of the nose. The bulkhead between 1m and 2m compartments is 22 frames. Bulkhead compartments 2 and 3 on the 43m trowels. In reality, the bulkhead 22nd trowels. found at 43 frames, ie, it killed the whole bay.
In fact, the compacted 2 and 3 in one compartment.
22shp bulkhead hatch. Metal edge vertically on a solid body - all that was left of the frame 43.
View from outside
Torn edges of the outer hull. The upper part of the boat.
View from the bow to the stern. Are the ruins of decking.
Drawer. The thickest - 430 mm.
Most of the cleaned. Seen decks. Vvaryshi Wall - cut off the explosion.
Part of missiles tore blow the rails, so they are filled with foam and cut out along with the mines for disposal.
By torpedoes (of exploded about 80%) were only shanks and flattened the battery. Power of the explosion is estimated about 8 kilotons.
Here you can see how the flooring (steel up to 22 mm thick) and the explosion pressure has developed in the corrugation. Imagine what happened with the equipment and people.
View of boats on the nose.
Onboard clock (most likely 3 compartment).
Do not bring the other compartments, photos, because they are not of particular interest. Were flooded all but the reactor (6th). In the reactor, and in the desert of the visited, nothing special, background 7-9 micro-roentgen.
Residential compartments blurred (walls made of particleboard). Was a shock to find work Wrist electronic clock that shows the time and date at the time of inspection, ie a year after the tragedy, after lying at a depth of 100 meters.
Note that the military prosecutor's office worked very honestly and sensibly. Sort of "black box" found. He was disconnected from the network during a training exercise. So there is nothing you can not get out of it, except for records "Lube" (the device worked and reproduction).
