no subs got sold to drug dealers.
It nevertheless is impossible, even in 90th years. Not one admiral in Russia has no so much authority. You represent how many the organizations inspect fleet?
These organizations do not submit to the Navy (for example FSB, an economic department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs). This transaction was probably only with the consent of the government. Otherwise it is simple either a fabrication, or the figurehead. Especially I at all do not wish to speak about rockets. In the Hollywood films, nuclear warheads lay in wooden boxes, and are protected by any awful soldier with АК-47. The opinion in the West is forged on the basis of these films. In a reality I think easier to steal a nuclear warhead in the USA when it again will forget to dismantle and will transport again on other end of the country.
