Convoy PQ17 (Part 3/3)

Dudley, you say.

This heavy casualties were due to the impossibility to carry enough resupplies through Transiberian railway and caspian sea, probably due to Soviet disorganization. This convoy teach us that if a Power has enough strenght to close sea-ways, it can win a war against USA and European allies. Now we should be worried about the improving Russian capabilities to make an effective naval strategy based upon Oscar class submarines, long range antiship missiles and Su-34 bombers.

Isn't the last sentence a bit strange?

I mean, of course it's war, but how can u revenge a convoy by sinking a ship that was never even planned to attack that convoy?

Thankyou for posting this.
