Remaining Kursk missiles to be cut out
Severe damage to the Kursk nuclear submarine has thwarted efforts to remove its last six cruise missiles, so investigators must cut them out together with their silos, the Russian navy chief said today.
Experts this weekend extracted two more Granit missiles from the carcass of the Kursk, bringing the total removed to 16, navy chief Admiral Vladimir Kuroyedov told the Interfax news agency as saying.
