Delta III SSBN Sub Brief

What's a "backing bell"? Does that mean K-44 may have thrown the screws into reverse when it damaged its towed array?

The size of these Russian missile boats is hard to 'fathom', until the photo of the K-44 in the floating dry-dock. The people walking around on the floor of the dry-dock are dwarfed by the sub. Still, it is hard to imagine something that size navigating deep under the ocean surface.

Just wondering if you were serving when a plane crash wiped out most of the senior submarine admirals in Russia

They have no business building new subs whilst other countries foot the bill for disposal of the old ones.

The K443 featured on the Combat Approved show on RT a few years ago.

I just discovered your channel the other day and I really like it!

I see that you have some problems with pronouncing Russian names, so I'll give you some clarification.

"Zvezda" shipyard is located in the Far East, indeed. "Zvezda" means "star" in the Russian language (and many other Slavic languages).

"Zvezdochka" is another company which owns shipyards in the European part of the Russian Federation. "Zvezdochka" is a diminutive of "Zvezda" and it means "a little star."

Now, you may have noticed that many things in Russia still have the word "Zvezda" in their names, and this is because the red star was a symbol of socialism, so many companies in the former USSR had the word "Zvezda" in their name.

Sod it. "Give me a ping Vasily, one ping only please".
Vasily mis hears because the plant is louder than a skeleton wanking in a biscuit tin and wipes London off the map🤔🤔😂😂.

Researching this must have been a monumental effort Jive, brilliant content, you must be like a composite of Norman Polmar and Rainman after this.

Please stop calling them Russian submarines, they were Soviet submarines. Yes, the Russians designed and built them, because the industrial capacities and labor force within the Soviet Union were almost 100% within the republics, that is, the percentage of labor force participation from other republics was less than a "statistical error". On the other hand, EVERYONE used those submarines, because the Soviet Army did not have any restrictions when it came to deploying personnel.
Even in the very gloomy 90s, Russia had better statistics when it comes to submarine incidents, even with very problematic submarine production during that decade. In this millennium, Russian production and use of submarines shows high professionalism. Besides, if you already say that Sevmash produces submarines of excellent quality and that the problem is in use, and if we see the statistics of the Russian submarine fleet, we can conclude that some other "elements" within the Soviet Union influenced the quality of use, so it is quite unfair to call them Russian, right?

Like the photo of the 7 bladed screws , Thanks to Walker's.

Hey Aaron, not sure if you'll see this, but your video helped me out on my final essay. Thanks for the great content!

.1 MT is still 100 KT and that's 5 of the more powerful fatman bombs dropped on Nagasaki. or 6 little boy bomb dropped on Hiroshima. so the r-29rk has the equivalent of 35 fatman bombs.

New subscriber here. Why do you sound so excited about what the Soviet Navy did/do? They were/are a threat to our US Navy. "Hats" of to the Russian Navy? REALLY, wow.

about the air line for breathing the Russians have them. there was a story where it got contaminated and wasn't able to be used. I think it was kursk.

You'd have to be a dumb dumb to believe globe anything...star navigation proves its flat

.2 megaton is a small weapon? Are you kidding me? That's more than 10x what was dropped on Nagasaki! Should be mentioned that it is a 200 KiloTon weapon!

gta 5 kosatka seems great

Russian shipfitters are always drunk. 😂

Hey look, it's that one from GTAV

Hi, you said something that really peaked my interest about 50min in. You mention how If any big countries (US/Russia/China/etc.) Go to 'real war', everyone is going to instantly shoot down each other's satellites. (I don't disagree) leading to global communication blackouts. I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on how Starlink might shift the balance? It's one thing to shoot down a few dozen spy & communication satellites, but thousands of them? Especially when they've shown they can launch up to 150 in a week? I know there's also a potential threat of jamming, but wouldn't mind hearing your opinions.

Superstitious. Soldiers are Superstitious as well. Trust me.

What means sub brief 🤔👀

This channel has grown on me quite a bit I must say.

[10/26/22] Hi Aaron!! I've only just recently subbed to your channel, and I am very concerned that you may advertently, or inadvertently reveal some classified Russian submarine capabilities/technology information. My question is, do we really want to tell the Russians how much, and what we know about their boats? With these briefs, we could be letting it known that we know too much. Your not having served in the Russian Navy means that you cannot be sure of what you are, or are NOT permitted to divulge. This could be an issue.

The Russian officials all have yachts. Why are we giving them money? No way. We shouldn’t. They can buy a few less yachts and take care of it themselves. If not then they can contaminate Russian coasts.

I believe that the US/ other countries do have a responsibility to make sure these old sub reactors do not become a global issue but OF COURSE russia pulls garbage like this. No clue how you even begin to resolve the situation without russia stepping up at all.

The upright "bars/rods" are called stanchions.

1.18.46 min he is showing sub name LOSHARIK word LOSHARIK comes from word LOX which stands for LOSER . why would they name boat like that,

I always loved the Delta III. Was the first variant I ever saw when reading Polmar's book in high school. I fell in love with all her free-flood holes.

Dude, you literaly make up these Russian names.

It says: "Petropavlovsk" and you say "Pepravsky", you might as well let your cat do it.

In war, it's not murder brother: in that case, Joshua, Caleb, and King David were murderers? I think not.

Hatch opening, dual systems hooked together, option for individual ops.

I love how you try to say the names of the russian boats and say nailed it, totally get it. Lmao

You would think over the years Russians would care more about protection, security, safety, and, efficiency. It cost them more to keep losing subs than it does to just make sure safety is there number 1 priority an keeping the subs they first built in operation. Sloppy drunks. 😂 lol

If that's the case, poor poor whale.
☹️

The Chinese navy 094 class SSBN was very much based on the Soviet Delta III but with a smaller magazine of 12 SLBMs instead of 16. Even the missiles the JL2 was similar in length and range.

What you said about countries paying for Russia for decommissioning reactors or cutting the old subs, I hope you dont think that this is done purely for the saint "save the planet" reason? :) I mean, Americans do not pay money or invest into something that doesn't give them profit. After the cold war, Americans used every opportunity to get their hands on Soviet gear or blue prints, study them to and adapt the best solution into US military. Good example that comes to mind is the MiG-29 helmet guidance system for the Archer missile, where the Soviet pilots could lock and launch just by looking at the target. This was something that Americans found out later from the East German MiG-29's and was a big surprise, later this technology was adopted into the modern US jets.

Man late 70s early 80s Russia was churning out subs

Borisoglebsk is the prettiest name I’ve ever heard

You supply phone numbers for various offices of the Nerpa yard but no review for the canteen! Shoddy! Just shoddy😂
If you do phone them then bare in mind we are tapping the line so no loose talk!😂

Interesting! So now they have a mini sub for destroying pipelines and comms cables too now.

Why do you show their phone number and then say not to call them? Now we we HAVE to call!

I've been shot in combat and defending myself I don't consider it as murder
I also don't believe in God or mystical beings

Let me know when the KGB is at the front door

The U.S. Navy is the best in the world! 🇨🇦❤🇺🇸
