The Pentagon said if the "Losharik" could collide with a submarine of the US Navy
Recently we Reportedas the Israeli media came up with and published a frank fake related to an emergency on the AS-12 Losharik deep-sea vehicle, where 14 Russian submariners were killed. And so, at the Pentagon, they commented on this fake about the “combat collision” of the nuclear submarines of the Russian Navy and the US Navy off the coast of Alaska in early July 2019.
It should be noted that a large number of different media around the world, with an extremely dubious reputation, gladly spread this "sensation". Indeed, the fake claimed that the Russians sank the American submarine using the Balkan 2000 torpedo and openly hinted at a connection with the emergency at the AS-12 Losharik.
The famous Ukrainian journalist and blogger Alexander Kushnar decided to check this information and contacted the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) through his channels. He asked the U.S. military to comment on this information before publishing it.
- stated the journalist.
Kushnar recalled that the source of this fake is the Israeli edition of DEBKAfile, which specializes in political and military issues in the Middle East region.
- specified Kushnar.
It should be added that Kushnar takes an openly pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian position. He repeatedly attacked Moscow with fierce criticism and justified Kiev. He works as the chief editor of the news site Newsader. Before that, he worked on Radio Liberty and was deputy editor-in-chief on the Amburg news site. But even he did not dare to publish frank nonsense.
We remind you that the AS-12 Losharik is a Russian top-secret nuclear submarine (classified as a deep-sea atomic station). It does not carry weapons at all, but can dive to a depth of 6000 meters (real diving to a depth of 3000 meters has been demonstrated). Its carrier is a special-purpose nuclear submarine "Moscow Region".

I spoke briefly with the Pentagon press officer and then wrote a letter asking: is it true that in early July, a battle between US and Russian submarines took place off the coast of Alaska and is this related to the Losharik accident? The American lieutenant colonel said: there is no truth in these rumors - the US armed forces did not operate in the area. So everything turned out to be a lie

The American submarine allegedly tracked down the Russian one, after which another Russian submarine attacked the American Balkan 2000 torpedo and sank it. After which a version appeared that in fact 14 submariners were killed in battle with the American Navy, and not as a result of a fire aboard a deep-sea vehicle
