Cause idk, not risk Global nuclear annihilation...
Because that's what the Soviets wanted. They wanted the US to start shooting and then either out of fear or because of pressure from fearful allies, the US wouldn't enter the Black Seas again.
full contact game of chicken.
Seems that ship had nothing on the US vessel? It just took the hit.
Giving a bit more context: The United States was entering Soviet waters, including territorial lines, multiple times, and the Soviets originally were trying to make contact via radio, but the Soviet ships were a bit of... Age. Thus, they couldn't get a direct contact, and thought that the US Ships were just being overly aggressive, and because of this, they began to do bumping. This wasn't like the Bering Straits btw, it was within the Black Sea.
The US ship in the first one's just like "What was that? Did we hit something?"
I bet those where some redneck's from the 80s power trip VHS tapes, well first one sure looks like that. He was probably like "YEAH MADE IN USA YOU DIRTY COMMIES" while listening to Bon fucking Jovi.
