So ... is your submarine big enough?
-
I always love the Soviet approach of solving problems with a design by just making it bigger.
-
It’s insane that the operating life of the submarine is only as long as the life of the first munitions load
-
my submarine is very small. It can only bring 5 people to the bottom of the ocean using Logitech controller
-
At least one Typhoon should become a museum.
-
I didnt knew a typhon was still in active service until the begin of this year, wow
-
It's just sad to see an engineering miracle such as this go. This, the TU-95, and the Ekranoplan were wonderful things to look at
-
The submarine videos are always the best! Sad that they only come up so rarely
-
the russian sailor giving water for his pet turtle was the best part of this video. 🐢
-
There is always something vague about Submarines that intrigues me, something eerily unsettling. Thats why I love submarines.
-
this has consistently been one of the best military informational channels since covid. every video is a treat to watch

The I-400-class submarine I-401. The Sentoku type (潜特型, Special type submarine) (I-400-class) displaced 5,223 tons surfaced and measured 400 ft 3 in (122.00 m) overall. They had a figure-eight hull shape for additional strength to handle the on-deck hangar for housing the three Seiran aircraft.

I once read a good fiction about a rich guy who purchased a retired Typhoon and refit it to be a deep sea science vessel. Out with all the missile tubes and in with a helicopter and mini sub. Just as the book was getting a bit dull, having talked a lot about the refit, the zombie apocalypse happened.

Russia should totally turn the last Akula class into a museum.
-
Great video! I appreciate your keeping it clean. It's something I can watch with the family listening.
-
Tatainium too. When Russia scrapped its first titanium sub, the price of titanium on the world market not only plummeted, it made this amazing metal more easily availble.... and thus, titanium bicycles. I've a friend who perfected welding titanium. He now has a business dedicated to doing just that... all because of Russian subs. In this vid, I was most impressed by... a smoking lounge...

Can we take a minute to appreciate the amount of research it took to make this video! so much engaging military history!
-
Someone needs to buy that beast and add it to the US museum fleet. Be a shame if such an awesome piece of history was lost.
-
Thank you for listing the music you used in the description! Hugely appreciated 😁

"The safety of the personnel was a top priority" is not something I thought I'd ever hear about Soviet tech 😅 Soviet subs are so much cooler looking than US ones, even if the tech was always a bit behind.
