It's showed that Putin at a very serious time made a series of ineffective, wrong decisions. I think at a minimum we're going to see a couple of people from the government, a couple senior civilians leaving and several admirals will also be leaving their jobs within the next couple weeks. From everything that we've heard, it was the rocket fuel that exploded first, and then the warhead detonated. Our Scorpion may have gone down because there were problems with our torpedo batteries.

Torpedoes are weapons.
If there were problems with training, if there was a hydraulic line that broke in the carriage that moved the torpedo from one part of the sub to another, anything could have gone wrong.

If another submarine had created that much damage on their submarine, the other sub would be lying next to her on the boom. No surface ship was in the area that reported any damage.
