K-219, the broken tow, and missing missiles

Did a US submarine cut the tow cable of the sinking Soviet ballistic-missile submarine K-219?

It was a fortuitous accident and technically plausible, but he would not conclude that the United States did it.

A question links K-219's conveniently broken tow to later reports that missile silos were empty when the wreck was examined. The break is described as a very fortunate accident for anyone interested in the submarine. Covert intervention would require a navy with the right submarine systems and the ability to work quietly without detection. Such an operation is treated as technically plausible, but the discussion stops short of accusing the United States or presenting the suspicion as established fact.
