Two politicians from Kiel representing the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), of which Chancellor Olaf Scholz is a member, mistakenly showed on social networks the Russian Project 636 submarine Varshavyanka as a German-made submarine of Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. The publication reports that Picture.
According to the newspaper, SPD candidate in the upcoming Bundestag elections Christina Schubert and Bundestag member Christian Klink published a post in their accounts on January 4 discussing the German Navy’s recent decision to purchase four additional submarines from Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems. However, they also added photos of the Russian Project 636 submarine Varshavyanka to this message.
“On the social media accounts of the leading candidate, 33-year-old Christina Schubert, and Bundestag member Christian Klink, the party confused the Russian submarine with the German Navy submarine! “In fact, the ad was supposed to include the 212CD series Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems submarines… It also depicts the Russian “Kilo” class submarine of Project 636,” says the publication.
According to Kieler Nachrichten, the post was prepared by Klink’s team. He himself admitted his guilt for not checking the material before publication. Shortly thereafter, corrected posts with the correct images appeared on Klinka and Schubert’s pages.
Kilo-class submarines are the common NATO name for two Russian submarine projects: Project 877 Halibut and Project 636 Varshavyanka.
In December, the newest multi-purpose nuclear submarine cruiser “Arhangelsk” of project 885M “Yasen-M” entered To the Russian Navy.
Previously in Britain said about the debauchery in the country’s submarine fleet.
