Wait... has it been clearly established that it was a German made torpedo? I mean the only link was that a particular alloy composition was found that could be linked to a German-made weapon. I dont know much about torpedos... but the latter does not necessarily make the former true.

Anyway the Russian report will be released soon. Im interested to see what they have to say about the incident. It is pretty much beyond speculation that the Russians will come to the conclusion that a torpedo hit the Cheonan. Though whose torpedo they think it is will be interesting to find out.
