People could only ask indignantly why the government took so long to accept help offered by Britain and Norway. The Vidyaevo people can't understand how the Kursk, the pride and beauty of the Russian navy became a grave in a matter of minutes. But many of them spoke of neglect. Sailors are supposed to go to sea, pilots are supposed to fly, but they don't. There is no money.
People lose skills.
The Kursk crew is made up of high-class professionals. There are no spares. Anything that contains precious metals gets stolen and sold. He also had little faith in the rescue effort. I'm also doubtful of the compatibility of their devices with ours.
