Think about it. Torpedo doesn't punch through sub's hull. And if it explodes as it is designed to do, there is no round hole, there is explosion hole. Dud torpedoes bounce of from ship's or sub's hull, there is plenty of evidence from that, those don't make round holes. Either the torpedoes explode on the contact or nada.

I don't know what seamole's hole is that, but it isn't impact hole from torpedo. Maybe it is a hole made to lift the sub up from the bottom, I don't know.
Added to this, if for instance the US had some special torpedo which penetrated the ship before exploding.. Why is none of the interior framework damaged from a blast in that area? If you notice there is zero damage inside the hull from an explosion which could of originated at that hole..

It's most likely some sort of hatch hole or a hole made for lifting the sub out of the water.

When they first started showing that hole back when the kursk was first raised calling it a torpedo hole, I literately laughed my ass off, because it was so absurd.

Hell modern day anti surface ship torpedoes don't even make contact with the ship's hull.. They are designed to blow up underneath the ship in order to break the ship in half from the water pressure. I'd suspect anti sub torpedoes would work the same and never actually hit the hull.
