Submarines are secrets of the state, and then that’s why I’m asking a question, why this Russian submarine captain tells about this kind of thing? When we are thinking about this “Akula”-class nuclear attack submarine, it can destroy multiple targets inside the opponent's area by using SS-N-21 nuclear cruise missiles. Also, all other Russian submarines have those missiles and they are shown their capacities in the war of Syria. Those missiles are also used in new land-based highly mobile cruise missile systems.


But why this captain of the submarine leaks the information, that he was near the coast of United States? The operations of nuclear submarines are normally highly classified, and the capacities of nuclear submarines are very great secret. Here I must say, that those talking might be made because they are meant for afraid the NATO-countries. But in this case, the question might be about information warfare.


That leak might be very highly calculated, and the objective of that information might be put the pressure to the United Kingdom, what should be shaken because the Novichok chemical agent was used against the Russian immigrate family, who lives in the United Kingdom. First, the panic might be very dramatic, because the strike believed to made by delivering the Novichok agent thru the mail slot.


But later the reason for poisoning was less dramatic. Nobody carried Novichok to the United Kingdom. I read somewhere that the Novichok agent would be put in the daughter’s luggage when this was visited in Russia. When I’m thinking about this behavior, I don’t think that the threats what was targeted to those persons, were not very powerful. And I must ask also if those people thought that Russian intelligence threatened their lives, why they went to Russia? I don’t know was this man, who was ex-Russian spy visited in Russia, but his daughter was.


The question is why those poisonings happened so uncommon chemical agent? Why didn’t those attackers use some more common chemical agent like cyanide? Or why those mysterious poisoner’s didn’t simple shot those persons? Here are many questions, what makes this case very uncommon. And why the finger of evidence shows so clear to Russians?


What kind of intelligence service pulls itself to the target of the prosecutions of murders? The suspicious of murders, what are made by Russian intelligence makes the operations of those services more difficult because they would be problems with carrying the equipment over the borderline, and that kind of high-profile assassinations would cause that the suspected intelligence officers would be followed by counter-intelligence officials more often than before those attacks.
