In 1995, the submarine's batteries permanently failed and she was abandoned. In 1990 the submarine was transferred to the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, serving there until 1994. In 1970 she was commissioned into the Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet, where she conducted 14 patrols, including a port call in Cuba. Zaporizhzhia 's keel was laid down in 1970 at the New Admiralty Shipyard in Leningrad. The submarine was operated by a reserve unit, having not yet returned to front line duty after her 'refurbishment'. Zaporizhzhia had a crew of 78, commanded by 1st Rank Capt.
Zaporizhzhia was designed at the Rubin Design Bureau ( Saint Petersburg).Ĭaptured by Russian forces on 22 March 2014 (during the 2014 Crimean crisis), half of the Ukrainian personnel, among them the captain of the submarine, had left while the others chose to begin their service in the Russian Black Sea Fleet with the submarine. She formerly carried the Soviet Navy pennant number B-435. Zaporizhzhia (U-01) ( Ukrainian: Запоріжжя) is a project 641 (Foxtrot-class) diesel-electric powered submarine, and was the only submarine of the Ukrainian Navy up until her seizure in March 2014 by Russian forces during 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea. Isaacson, a former chairman of CNN, is the best-selling biographer of Steve Jobs, Henry Kissinger and Albert Einstein, among others.Surrendered to / Captured by Russian Forces in March of 2014 Earlier that year, Musk challenged Putin to “ single combat” over Ukraine, an “absolutely serious” proposal that resulted in Dmitry Rogozin, director general of Russia’s space program Roscosmos, calling Musk a weak “little devil.” Tangent “It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.” Last year, the Tesla CEO denied a report from political analyst Ian Bremmer saying he had engaged in communications with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the Ukraine war. “Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars,” Musk reportedly says in the biography. The tech billionaire’s Starlink system has played a large role in Ukrainian government operations since its country was invaded by Russia in 2022, with more than 42,000 Starlink terminals being used by businesses, hospitals and the military, according to the Times. Key BackgroundĪdvance copies of Isaacson’s biography on Musk were read by CNN and other news organizations, which reported quotes from Musk as asking “how am I in this war?” Musk reportedly likened the attack on the Russian naval fleet to a “mini-Pearl Harbor” and said such a military action would provoke retaliation from Moscow.
We estimate Musk’s net worth at $251.3 billion, making him the world’s richest person.
It is unclear how the call between Musk and Antonov was set up or if Musk revealed the Ukrainian attack to the ambassador. Russia’s former president and deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, also took to X this week, writing Musk is “the one with the balls” in “gender-neutral America” if what Isaacson wrote in the biography is true.
