New pictures of the sub came out just today. Looks pretty badly damaged. There's 2 holes. One where you pointed out and one in the side near the middle of the sub. Big holes.
Yeah I saw them yesterday actually and it looks like a sever hit was made about the crew compartment. It damaged the outer hull between the 2 hits but the crew compartment hit was very severe and substantially breached the pressure hull as did the forward hit. That sub is a tub. They would have to cut it in sections and rebuild it. It would take years to just check the pressure hull integrity and that is if the fire wasn’t hit enough to completely destroy the steel tempering and torch the pressure hull beyond repair.
One of my buddies is in the Coast guard, and he just saw Aaron climbing into the USS Nautilus, renting about creating an "outer haven for submariners" in Africa. The Nautilus has subsequently been reported missing.

@@Smos233 There were something like 13 Storm Shadows launched, given the absolutely piss poor state of Russian Air Defenses I wouldn't be shocked if both ships got hit 2-3 times. Edit: Seems I was right, each ship got multiple impacts.
@@PeterMuskrat6968 A portion of the missiles were likely to have been MALD decoy and jamming missiles, Ukraine has them, has used them before with Storm Shadow/SCALP attacks against heavily defended targets. As well it is thought drones too. We don’t know how many of these missiles have been donated by the UK and France, though use will be selective, with the other limitation being the small number of SU-24’s to launch them.
@@Smos233 Looks almost certain to have been two hits. Both holes are huge and part of the hull is bent outwards around each one. The tandem warhead they carry is designed to blast a hole through things like walls and hardened shelters to enable the main warhead to penetrate and explode inside the structure to maximise its effect.
I've just read that the specific warhead used in this strike was a two-stage warhead originally designed for bunker-busting. Additional photos of damage starboard amidships published via at least one large news org suggest two separate impacts. To wit, the view of the second impact site strongly suggest some substantial portion of that payload was delivered to the *interior* of the boat. HTH.
Newer pictures from the starboard side show an impact around the area of the galley, just in line with the aft portion of the sail. Under that are many batteries though so it could have been some vertical explosion of the batteries perhaps, but looks like an impact similar in size to the hit above the bow torpedo room.
There's video evidence of another hole punched into the kilo. Starboard side just after the sail, even with a water line. I watched the video on the RUclips channel Suchomimus. The video was posted about 9 hours ago.
The 2nd hit appears to have been an internal explosion with the edges of the hole blown outwards from the inside. One possible explaination is that the approach bearing and angle of decent of the Stormshadow on impact was planned so the 2nd stage of the warhead penetrated deep into the submarine before detonating.
@@Akm72 The missile tore through the relatively thin outer hull to impact on the much thicker pressure hull. That blew inward as a reflected blast wave bounced back outward.
I'd imagine one of the first steps (aside from handling the actual fire/gas/disaster) is to begin emergency surfacing. Even if all the crew eventually became casualties, China would still more than likely have access to the sub, even if they had to tie off and dock with the thing. I'm more interested in what the actual incident was, unfortunately all that stuff will probably never see the light of day.
Correction: the total mass of the Storm Shadow is a little less than 3000 lbs (1300kg), and the warhead is about 450kg. Still enough to wreck those ships :).
Heh, good work. Certainly feel your pain. LCS 25? Reminds me of Blackadder Goes Forth where walking very slowly towards the enemy like the seventeen previous occasions was thought a very good idea, as it was the last thing the enemy would be expecting if we did it again! I understand that the Kilo was a newer one one with guided missile capability, love to be a fly on the wall in that costs/benefits meeting. Were the Soviet/Russian Diesel Electric Attack boats potentially the most dangerous because of their reputation for being quieter?
I think the bigger win is taking out one of the prime ships in the Black Sea that was used to fire Kalibr missiles. The timing of both the Ropucha and Kilo being in drydock is interesting and I'm curious whether we're going to see more cruise missile strikes on Sevastopol in the near future: even lighter damage to fleet vessels will become a real problem with there now being very limited drydock capability.
Much in the way a country without an Air Force or Navy could stop the most powerful country in the world at dropping paratroopers or assaulting a coast. Modern Man pads and anti-ship missiles make this all but impossible and the US Navy has actually began decommissioning multiple craft .

Thank you for talking about the PLAN sub. I heard rumors about and paid no heed. Neither you nor Mr. Sutton mentioned it so I gave it no thought. I really appreciate your establishment of the "Huge Freakin' Warhead" standard. Would that be just about under 1500 kg in "Les Grande Tete du Kaboom" measurement? Slava Ukraine!
The navy building LCS's reminds me of the crank yankers sketch where the guy calls a supplement store with a concern that he's having an allergic reaction the creatine he bought there while ostensibly continuing to take the creatine while on the phone saying he thinks he's having an allergic reaction to it.
Russia has lost a submarine, in a ground war, against a nation that doesn't even have a navy XD Whether or not they "choose to" is now more so whether or not they "CAN". Facilities and the availability of capable people aside, it's becoming more and more unlikely that they have the money and equipment to rebuild a submarine.
They could save a lot of money (besides not building it in the first place) by bypassing the shakedown cruise and having the commissioning and decommissioning ceremony at the same time. Sailors running up and sailors running back down. Weeee
Even better, set up a ship-breaking yard opposite the slipway they're launched from, then they can go straight for disposal and a new life as razor blades.
One missile (or even 2) doesn't make a victory. It's like a mosquito bite on Russia's arm. I remember when Ukraine had a navy. Now all they have are RIBs. 😅 That is a victory.

There is a photo of the sub from stern looking to the bow on the port side. There is a large hole just behind and below the sail, around where the battery bank is in in the drawing. The hole in the bow is quite ragged, and extends quite a distance from the bow.
Dude! Thank you for commenting on the Chinese submarine. I figured that the Chinese probably had not lost the submarine, because first and foremost you had not commented on it. Secondly, there did not seem to be any reports of ships going to the site of a lost submarine as there undoubtedly would have been had the Chinese lost the submarine.
With an authoritarian regime, rescue / salvage missions can sometimes take days, weeks or months to manifest as embarrassing the party / regime is seen as more costly than losing sailors and equipment. It largely depends on the leaders of the day.

I'm saying it's not repairable. Unless you define repairing it by rebuilding it from the ground up. The Storm Shadow penetrates the target and detonates inside whatever it's hit. The inside will be even worse than the outside.
Wow, was that an ending! This was a really great video. It had everything! Many thanks Aaron, commenters. When the comments are a real "value add" you know you have a great channel.
There are two up close photos out now of the Kilo (with censoring of the drydock). The first showcasing the damage on the bow and a second showing explosion damage to the starboard side behind the sail.
The Storm Shadow is designed to crack hardened targets like concrete bunkers, that Kilo will certainly have had her pressure hull breached if not gutted by fire. The pictures that came out yesterday show 2 holes (unclear if two hits or that was from a secondary explosion) in her and smoke pouring out great gouges in her hull. That sub is scrap iron clogging a drydock

Last part is truly the best!
The rant at the end 😂
the images on reddit showed 3 hits. not gonna sail for the rest of the war.
how long would it take to repair the dry dock? that night be a bigger impact if those facilities are unavailable for other vessels
There are two up close photos out now of the Kilo (with censoring of the drydock). The first showcasing the damage on the bow and a second showing explosion damage to the starboard side behind the sail.
i can see into the future and the reaction to the launch of LCS 376 is hilarious
9:29 were they actually writing "freedom done wr..." and then just catch the slip at the last second? Sort of... 😜
They ending was great 😂... Thanks!
Thanks for clarifying the Chinese sub incident!
My Favorite part of the final clip is "Freedom Done Wright"
That Oscar is yours Aaron!
How do you lose a submarine to a cruise missile holy crap thats embarrassing
Meanwhile, Jimmy Buffett is still missing his shaker of Salt!
As a Brit i must say i've very chuffed that we in-effect took out these vessels. It's like we're getting a free hit on the Russian Navy.
Of course it could have been a SCALP-EG! 😄
Aaron packing up his greenscreen was 😄
Legend has it, he went home.
I bet one of the Chinese sailors removed the door of the XO
The Storm Shadow is designed to crack hardened targets like concrete bunkers, that Kilo will certainly have had her pressure hull breached if not gutted by fire.
The pictures that came out yesterday show 2 holes (unclear if two hits or that was from a secondary explosion) in her and smoke pouring out great gouges in her hull. That sub is scrap iron clogging a drydock
The KILO-class was also hit on the starboard side, just behind the conning tower.
You forgot to mention that an RN Vanguard bomber has set a record for the longest patrol
