Photos of major damage to a Russian Navy submarine attacked while in dry dock in Crimea point to the boat being a complete write-off.

      The photos are from the Conflict Intelligence Team, who are not operating with permission from the Russian military.

      Any accidental reflection, or visible detail that could identify people in the background or time the photo, could give the Russian police enough information to track down the photographer.

      Maybe so they won’t know where it’s being held?

      Maybe it got moved to a new drydock to get fixed and they want to obscure where it is.
