i know that story, there was an attempt, israli mobster(ussr born) with ties to colombia drug lord, tryed to buy a sub, he is in jail now, he was interviewed, he said, when he called russian admiral, he didn,t expect him to even talk about sale, but to his amusment, the admiral asked, "you want it with missiles or not" they got busted by fsb, both in jail.
no subs got sold to drug dealers.

there are some bad apples, but it no way means that russian navy or army is all like that. all armys have bad apples.

as russian saying goes: слышал звон, да не знаеш где он.
translation: heard the noise, but don,t know where it came from.
