Russian ship carrying 2 nuclear reactors sinks off Spain's coast
The sinking of the Ursa Major and the nuclear cargo debate

The mysterious sinking of the Russian ship Ursa Major off the Spanish coast in 2024 is back in the news, sparking intense debate about the possible presence of nuclear reactors in its cargo. Forum members are analyzing the reliability of reports from international media and the opacity of the official account in Spain.

Key points of the debate

  • The radioactive cargo theory: Several users question the narrative placing North Korea as the final destination, pointing out the geographic incoherence of a shipping route through the Mediterranean.
  • Foreign military intervention: One line of opinion points to possible sabotage by torpedoes from allied powers, contrasting with the silence or fragmented information from national media.
  • Skepticism toward the media: The lack of in-depth coverage by the Spanish mainstream press has generated distrust, leading forum members to compare this case with other historical incidents of radioactive waste in nearby waters.

What forum members say about the Ursa Major incident

Position A (Structuralist/Critical): Some users argue the story is a smokescreen or a recurring piece of propaganda. They point out that the account changes depending on the source and that the logistics of transport to North Korea make no strategic sense, suggesting the real destination may have been elsewhere in the Mediterranean or Syria.​

Position B (Geopolitical/Sovereigntist): A segment of the forum holds that the sinking is proof of the loss of control and sovereignty over Spanish territorial waters. They argue the government ignores or downplays critical security incidents while maintaining a passive stance toward instability in the Strait.​

Why this thread is getting people talking

The thread stands out for its compilation of contradictory sources and its analysis of an alleged covert operation in Spanish waters. The polarization between those who see a real radioactive threat and those who denounce media manipulation keeps the debate very active.
