@Sakurako Hikari Obviously they have. But someone bribable knows how to go around it. And I'm pretty sure they don't want them blowing up all over the place accidentally with all that material, especially during a recovery of a failed one so it can't be too hard to disable a bonkers unit.
The a.i controlling this thing is a concern, we are only just scratching the surface of what potentially a.i can accomplish and like any owner of a new pet you are learning about it also....let's give it a planet killing warhead to stooge around with all the while the a.i is learning about us also and scheming with other a.i units.

The Russian have a method called ‘inventive problem solving’ (TRIZ) that is a process for defining problems in such a way as to avoid conventional thinking, and combined with their approach to engineering development it allows the Russians to create some amazing technologies.
Not Russian, Uzbekistanian by origin It was developed by Genrich Altshuller , sentenced to the Gulag by the Soviet purges, but did get traction for TRIZ after his release.. TRIZ is mostly used for patent breaking because it gives you a structured approach at problem solving. If used properly and in software form hooked up to the patent DB's of the world, it will tell you exactly how to solve the problem and break any 3rd party patent you require to solve your problem. only 1 or 2 percent of all breakthroughs are totally new inventions.. And the other 99 to 98 % can be found with TRIZ.. You just figure out the contradiction or conflict that your problem represents and TRIZ can then show you the way out. It's used in Asia and in the West as well ,Bath Uni programme of systematic innovation research run by prof Darrel Mann was teaching it, there are western consultancy companies that are specialized in it.. for instance Rolls Royce was a BIG user of it when Darrel Mann worked for them..
@@stijnvandamme76 - I did Darrel’s Triz course at Bath, and I disagree it’s for patent busting. Patent busting is normally about circumventing overly specific parts of the claims. I think the most useful part of it is removing foundational assumptions by redefining the problem. I get your point about it not being Russian - thanks for the info, I won’t make that mistake again, for the reasons you mention.
Someone please tell them to divert some of their amazing war machine technology towards benefiting man kind …… We hope to see a Russian laptop , a mobile phone , a fridge and a TV and of course a decent car brand but no chance …..

To quote one of our favorite movies... "The damn thing's made to start a war..." At any point in the last 50 years the US would have had a major freak out about this thing. Now... people are too stupid to be scared.
Uh! Yeah! As a former Missile Launch Officer I’m cognizant of a 1.*** M ton warhead. That someone would need 20-90 M tons with today’s guidance systems and such seems like killing flies with hand grenades! Why? Why? Why?

Looks like the Russians just created a new kind of Strategic Submarine, I think they know very well that challenging potentionaly NATO on seas 1:1 is impossible, well always has been. And they are being very creative on inventing technology to challenge them in a different way.
It doesn't even have to work, to be successful. As long as there is a realistic possibility, it will elicit a disproportional response, resulting in a net gain for Russia.
I think they are more area denial weapons than seriously thinking of attacking US ships in the atlantic. By staying at deployed not knowing where in the Norwegian Sea they are, they can quite easily keep the carrier battlegroups on an armlenghts distance in line with their bastion-doctrine.
Instead of having the sub patrol, the Russians can literally have the subs payload do the grunt work of patrolling. Instead of naval blockades they can have blockades of autonomous torpedoes. Absolutely incredible.
To be fair, any sort of automated nuclear weapon-throwing vehicle is going to be a terrifying thing. This one is special, considering the mind-boggling yield of its warhead and the potential applications thereof. I wish the megaton race wasn't back on the menu after almost half a century...
@@_tyrannus As most major cities are coastal areas we can deduct easily where the targets would be. I find Perimeter even more sinister than Poseidon. It may be time to start talking again. All the launchers in East Europe have prompted the Russians to employ asymmetry within a new terror paradigm. Weapon systems autonomy has too many sinister implications, vengeance from beyond the grave, and who can defend against ghosts?
@@mikecimerian6913 I wholeheartedly agree. This new arms race is worrying, Cold War era arms control deals are falling apart, and the population and political leadership have largely forgotten to fear nuclear war.
@@_tyrannus I would assume Poseidon isn't actually on constant patrol. Way too risky for someone to catch it, find it etc. Instead they would send belgograd out on start of tensions.... Put the poseidons out and let the otherside know "hint hint, nudge nudge, we are neither confirming or denying there might be poseidons actually in the water somewhere". Meaning "Don't do anything ..... tooo rash like try to first strike us." Once situation stabilizes.... call the poseidons back and refubrish them for next deployment. It is just new strategic piece in the M.A.D doctrine. Nothing more nothing less. It is nuclear loaded. You threaten anyone with poseidon.... You are threatening global thermo nuclear war. Is is useless as anything except strategic restraining deterrent. You can't even pressure anyone with it, since the otherside will just go "You use those against us it's thermo nuclear war.... You don't want thermo nuclear war.... Your threat is empty." regardless of the target owning nukes or not. The other nuclear powers can't let one of the other get away with using nukes. Someone uses nuke against anyone, there needs to be retaliatory strike against the nuclear nation using nukes.
I had to look up the Poseidon when you were talking about the warhead, I was sure you had mega and kilo confused... You did not. :| So this is an autonomous underwater Tsar Bomb, because the Tsar Bomb by itself wasn't scary enough. Then again that beast is almost 60 years old, got to keep up with the times.
I wouldn't be surprised, if the Russians somewhat overstated it's capabilities. Wouldn't be the first time they did that with a new weapons-system. Sure, it's a scary, scary thing, but it would essentially also have to be a fully-autonomous submarine. To cramp all that tech, a reactor for 50-100 knots speed AND a huge warhead into a pressure-rated tube that's about the size of a RS-12M2 ICBM (1 Megaton) seems ... Difficult.
@@A_Haunted_Pancake The 100 kt and large warhead seem a bit silly. The cw of a torpedo is magnitudes smaller than a submarine and you don't have people space in a torpedo, so maybe high double digits is possible. Also, warhead miniturazation had come a long way since the 80s, as the predictability of explosives has increased. The accuracy and speed with which you can compress the non-critical outer core of the weapon means that can be smaller and the ammount of hydrogen in the center can increase, thus increasing the overall yield while also decreasing the mass and size of the weapon. Also, you don't need to really regeneratively cool the reactor in the final target sprint of the weapon. At 100 kt you hear that thing a long ways of, so you can just pump sea water into the reactor, boil it, use more seawater to recondense the steam after the turbine and pump that over board. Doesn't matter if the reactor is usable after you blow up the weapon. It just needs to hold the last two hours towards Norfolk, Washington or Manhattan.
@@A_Haunted_Pancake Launching something into space and floating it in the ocean are vastly different things. The internal volume usage of an ICBM and this thing are not comparable.
Agreed, thing is so experimental that one of the reasons they made the Belgorod with the capacity to carry the high depth recovery spy sub is so that they can recover the Poseidon on the ocean floor in case it fails, which is something almost everyone forgets to mention.
Churchill said that it would be better to fight an army of wolves lead by a sheep, than an army of sheep lead by a wolf. Right now, Russia is a well trained, well armed, army of wolves, lead by the wolf of all wolves! God help anyone that wants to have a go at them
14:29 and other places - you keep pronouncing it "Loshark" - it has an "i" in front of the "k", so it is pronounced "Losharik". Sharik is the Russian word for a small ball or balloon, loshad is the Russian word for horse, so losharik is the concatenation of the two words, referring to a Russian cartoon character of a horse made out of balls.
Quite insightful never knew we were after an Oscar II class submarine. You are quite right though Russian charge these things quite exorbitantly the deal might have fell through due to price factor. Adding to that we recently paid $3 billion for a mothballed Akula submarine which will join service in 2025-26 as Chakra III. There is talk about keeping Chakra II for another 10 years as lease would end in 2022. As we are looking for designing SSNs these subs are quite good to have a design based upon. In my opinion these subs are for keeping Chinese out of Indian Ocean not primarily for Pakistani Navy. And again thanks for sharing this, a veteran is light years better than any random defence expert.
@@dragonstormdipro1013 Shaurya missile is a land based ballistic missile not a submarine based. Also Oscar class of submarines are SSGNs so they are not designed for ballistic missiles. We also currently don't have any such type of platform for launching cruise missiles.
@@philipbossy4834 I think terminal maneuvering warheads (such as those Russia is *also* currently deploying) prove that such a point isn't true. Even without them, it is common knowledge that it costs orders of magnitude more to field interceptors against a certain nuclear capacity, than to field such a nuclear capacity yourself. Even the USA (and their expensive efforts to field interceptors for the last 40 years) can hope to achieve nothing more than sparse point defense, with a large chance of a lucky warhead managing to slip through the net. Poseidon stands alone in its own entirely different category of strategic weaponry, being simultaneously a perfect first strike and revenge weapon.
Well, I think they do different things! It sounds like the Poseidon warhead might be incomparably more powerful, but obviously it can't address targets in Wyoming or Montana or wherever we keep them. BUT, America has a lot of expensive real-estate along its coasts....

@@metanumia Its designed to insure what any attack on Russia can't prosper, as an additional argument against nuclear escalation. Has nothing to do with the president.

Just because Ruusians choose to elect a leader the West doesn't like, doesn't make him a dictator. But frankly, that whole mind game in the west is damaging to themselves, not Russia. As the West gets confused by it's own BS, its ability to understand the world around them only degrades.
This torpedo is designed so that very few of them a neccessary to wipe out large parts of the US, and no missile defence system is able to stop it. No other weapons have this capability. It's designed to keep the US and their regime change and global hegemon phantasies at bay. The US knows that if they existentially threaten Russia, they will get wiped out, so it balances a much smaller, weaker and poorer Russia against the most powerful nation on earth, the US.

Crimea is a Russian region which is as Russian as Moscow both historically and currently, that legally became sovereign per USSR dissolution agreement in 1991 and was occupied by Ukraine same year, held under threats of war for 23 years, constantly trying to move away from Ukraine and closer to Russia, and in 2014 used the first Ukrainian constitution, Kosovo precedent and the UN charter to declare independence (again) and invite Russian troops to secure Ukrainian occupational forces. Crimea never was Ukrainian, it was a sovereign state occupied by Ukraine that became de facto independent in 2014 and voted to re-join Russia. Not trying to start a holy war here about anything, especially anything political, but it would be greatly appreciated if we could stick to facts and spend at least some time figuring out the situation before jumping to simple black-and-white conclusions.
Would be interesting to see an underwater base built on the ocean floor and powered by this small nuclear reactor. Always dreamt of one of those. Maybe they could build some sort of survelliance base there.
If my memory serves me right, the Tsar Bomb had a yield of ~50 mega tons of TNT. Am I missing information, or does a 10-90 mega ton explosion seem a tad overkill for a fleet killing tactical nuclear weapon?

I just read article of anti-SA-2 missile jamming in 1967. In movies(~1995) they disarmed mobile nuke bombs with detonating ignition charge safely without activating nuclear explosion... I wonder if these work with same principle.
The idea of a nuclear warhead being deployed on a fully autonomous platform is strange and more than a little scary. I mean, to the best of my (admittedly limited) understanding, hasn't the principle with nuclear weapons for pretty much as long as we've had them been positive, redundant human control all the way up until the order is given to actually launch? Is putting a nuclear warhead on an autonomous Poseidon a capability that would actually be used in practice, or more of just a fear-inducer?
@@motokek8649 Not if the AI decides it will attack its owner. Or gets hijacked and TOLD that it's former owner is the enemy.

Seizure - it is, as example, when FRG (Western Germany) occupied GDR (Eastern Germany). Without any referendums or anything, just came troops, arrested local authorities, put some in exactly same cages in prisons where they before were hold by Hitler (symbolism, isn it?), fired all rest, deny for millions people to work in state structures and so on.

@Sakurako Hikari Obviously they have. But someone bribable knows how to go around it. And I'm pretty sure they don't want them blowing up all over the place accidentally with all that material, especially during a recovery of a failed one so it can't be too hard to disable a bonkers unit.

The Russian have a method called ‘inventive problem solving’ (TRIZ) that is a process for defining problems in such a way as to avoid conventional thinking, and combined with their approach to engineering development it allows the Russians to create some amazing technologies.
100% agree.
Chess is the national sport of Russia. Always good to be one move ahead.
Not Russian, Uzbekistanian by origin
It was developed by Genrich Altshuller , sentenced to the Gulag by the Soviet purges, but did get traction for TRIZ after his release..
TRIZ is mostly used for patent breaking because it gives you a structured approach at problem solving.
If used properly and in software form hooked up to the patent DB's of the world, it will tell you exactly how to solve the problem and break any 3rd party patent you require to solve your problem. only 1 or 2 percent of all breakthroughs are totally new inventions.. And the other 99 to 98 % can be found with TRIZ.. You just figure out the contradiction or conflict that your problem represents and TRIZ can then show you the way out.
It's used in Asia and in the West as well ,Bath Uni programme of systematic innovation research run by prof Darrel Mann was teaching it, there are western consultancy companies that are specialized in it.. for instance Rolls Royce was a BIG user of it when Darrel Mann worked for them..
@@stijnvandamme76 - I did Darrel’s Triz course at Bath, and I disagree it’s for patent busting.
Patent busting is normally about circumventing overly specific parts of the claims.
I think the most useful part of it is removing foundational assumptions by redefining the problem.
I get your point about it not being Russian - thanks for the info, I won’t make that mistake again, for the reasons you mention.

It doesn't even have to work, to be successful.

@@kilianortmann9979 Kind of like just the "rumor" of a sniper in the area, is enough to make forward operators rethink their strategy.
I think they are more area denial weapons than seriously thinking of attacking US ships in the atlantic. By staying at deployed not knowing where in the Norwegian Sea they are, they can quite easily keep the carrier battlegroups on an armlenghts distance in line with their bastion-doctrine.
The Soviet and Russian naval strategy has always been asymmetric to one degree or another.
Explain your narrative.
Instead of having the sub patrol, the Russians can literally have the subs payload do the grunt work of patrolling. Instead of naval blockades they can have blockades of autonomous torpedoes. Absolutely incredible.
Good Lord, they've made an underwater project pluto. That's terrifying
Perimeter is even more terrifying.
To be fair, any sort of automated nuclear weapon-throwing vehicle is going to be a terrifying thing. This one is special, considering the mind-boggling yield of its warhead and the potential applications thereof. I wish the megaton race wasn't back on the menu after almost half a century...
@@_tyrannus As most major cities are coastal areas we can deduct easily where the targets would be. I find Perimeter even more sinister than Poseidon. It may be time to start talking again. All the launchers in East Europe have prompted the Russians to employ asymmetry within a new terror paradigm. Weapon systems autonomy has too many sinister implications, vengeance from beyond the grave, and who can defend against ghosts?
@@mikecimerian6913 I wholeheartedly agree. This new arms race is worrying, Cold War era arms control deals are falling apart, and the population and political leadership have largely forgotten to fear nuclear war.
@@_tyrannus I would assume Poseidon isn't actually on constant patrol. Way too risky for someone to catch it, find it etc. Instead they would send belgograd out on start of tensions.... Put the poseidons out and let the otherside know "hint hint, nudge nudge, we are neither confirming or denying there might be poseidons actually in the water somewhere". Meaning "Don't do anything ..... tooo rash like try to first strike us." Once situation stabilizes.... call the poseidons back and refubrish them for next deployment.
It is just new strategic piece in the M.A.D doctrine. Nothing more nothing less. It is nuclear loaded. You threaten anyone with poseidon.... You are threatening global thermo nuclear war. Is is useless as anything except strategic restraining deterrent. You can't even pressure anyone with it, since the otherside will just go "You use those against us it's thermo nuclear war.... You don't want thermo nuclear war.... Your threat is empty." regardless of the target owning nukes or not. The other nuclear powers can't let one of the other get away with using nukes. Someone uses nuke against anyone, there needs to be retaliatory strike against the nuclear nation using nukes.

I had to look up the Poseidon when you were talking about the warhead, I was sure you had mega and kilo confused... You did not. :|
So this is an autonomous underwater Tsar Bomb, because the Tsar Bomb by itself wasn't scary enough. Then again that beast is almost 60 years old, got to keep up with the times.
I wouldn't be surprised, if the Russians somewhat overstated it's capabilities. Wouldn't be the first time they did that with a new weapons-system. Sure, it's a scary, scary thing, but it would essentially also have to be a fully-autonomous submarine. To cramp all that tech, a reactor for 50-100 knots speed AND a huge warhead into a pressure-rated tube that's about the size of a RS-12M2 ICBM (1 Megaton) seems ... Difficult.
@@A_Haunted_Pancake The 100 kt and large warhead seem a bit silly. The cw of a torpedo is magnitudes smaller than a submarine and you don't have people space in a torpedo, so maybe high double digits is possible. Also, warhead miniturazation had come a long way since the 80s, as the predictability of explosives has increased. The accuracy and speed with which you can compress the non-critical outer core of the weapon means that can be smaller and the ammount of hydrogen in the center can increase, thus increasing the overall yield while also decreasing the mass and size of the weapon.
Also, you don't need to really regeneratively cool the reactor in the final target sprint of the weapon. At 100 kt you hear that thing a long ways of, so you can just pump sea water into the reactor, boil it, use more seawater to recondense the steam after the turbine and pump that over board. Doesn't matter if the reactor is usable after you blow up the weapon. It just needs to hold the last two hours towards Norfolk, Washington or Manhattan.
@@JainZar1 The claimed yield is up to 100 Mt, not kt.

@@A_Haunted_Pancake Launching something into space and floating it in the ocean are vastly different things. The internal volume usage of an ICBM and this thing are not comparable.
That Poseidon torpedo sounds like something out of ace combat
Agreed, thing is so experimental that one of the reasons they made the Belgorod with the capacity to carry the high depth recovery spy sub is so that they can recover the Poseidon on the ocean floor in case it fails, which is something almost everyone forgets to mention.

14:29 and other places - you keep pronouncing it "Loshark" - it has an "i" in front of the "k", so it is pronounced "Losharik".

И на хуя это надо было объяснять? Думаешь им не по хуй?
Quite insightful never knew we were after an Oscar II class submarine. You are quite right though Russian charge these things quite exorbitantly the deal might have fell through due to price factor. Adding to that we recently paid $3 billion for a mothballed Akula submarine which will join service in 2025-26 as Chakra III. There is talk about keeping Chakra II for another 10 years as lease would end in 2022. As we are looking for designing SSNs these subs are quite good to have a design based upon. In my opinion these subs are for keeping Chinese out of Indian Ocean not primarily for Pakistani Navy.

Even without them, it is common knowledge that it costs orders of magnitude more to field interceptors against a certain nuclear capacity, than to field such a nuclear capacity yourself. Even the USA (and their expensive efforts to field interceptors for the last 40 years) can hope to achieve nothing more than sparse point defense, with a large chance of a lucky warhead managing to slip through the net. Poseidon stands alone in its own entirely different category of strategic weaponry, being simultaneously a perfect first strike and revenge weapon.

@@metanumia Its designed to insure what any attack on Russia can't prosper, as an additional argument against nuclear escalation. Has nothing to do with the president. As for the president himself, Russian ppl don't particularly care how he is being slandered by the West. The bottom line, he has overwhelming popular support of around 75% of the voter base. Just because Ruusians choose to elect a leader the West doesn't like, doesn't make him a dictator. But frankly, that whole mind game in the west is damaging to themselves, not Russia. As the West gets confused by it's own BS, its ability to understand the world around them only degrades.
This torpedo is designed so that very few of them a neccessary to wipe out large parts of the US, and no missile defence system is able to stop it. No other weapons have this capability. It's designed to keep the US and their regime change and global hegemon phantasies at bay. The US knows that if they existentially threaten Russia, they will get wiped out, so it balances a much smaller, weaker and poorer Russia against the most powerful nation on earth, the US.

Side note - gotta admire Russia’s tenacity with nuclear power - I’m sure the tugboat in the harbor also has a little reactor powering it 😌
I think that torpedo is called "skvall" as we would say "squall". In general I'm so grateful to have a narrator for one of these and not those wretched droning computer voices! This is quite a story by the way, I had no idea what this thing was supposed to be packing, and sure never heard of an escape pod. I have not been keeping up!
Now they have a new submarine, the Moskva. :>
Now I hear that Belgorod has a sister ship and is currently undergoing trials. The Belgorod has at least one drone, nuclear powered and armed . The abilities for use by special forces, access to undersea fibre optics linking in with its drones, not to mention surface vessels and aircraft will be unmatched. American Seawolf have, it's said, one boat that sounds very similar in some ways like facilitating drones, and docking facilities for deep sea rescue missions etc. Some amazing engineering, problem solving and increased capabilities.
As a Russian with relatives in Crimea I really don't appreciate the reunification with Crimea called "invasion" or "seizure", but otherwise that's an amazing video with a lot of info I had no idea about, even though I'm interested in everything military. Thanks.
It's pretty much a invasion.
It was Ukrainian, Russian military appeared, now its Russian. Pretty much textbook definition of invasion.
@@ultimatedutchgamer when the elected representatives of the region officially ask your forces that are already legally stationed there to secure the occupational forces inside their bases and ensure safety of a referendum, in which the absolute public majority (over 70% of the voters) approves this move - to call it an invasion you'd need to stretch your imagination really hard.
Mock, with the greatest of respect to you personally, your country's military invaded another country and siezed Ukrainian sovereign territory. They did this in plain uniforms with no Russian insignia or identifiers and shot down a civilian airliner with a BUK AA system while they were at it. There is no other way to interpret that than it being an invasion. Again, I mean no disrespect to you personally.
@@chrisjones2149 I'm sorry friend, but I think you're confusing eastern Ukraine with Crimea. Those are two very different regions.
Eastern Ukraine is where the Ukrainian separatists allegedly shot down a civilian aircraft (hard to believe with Ukraine's military track record in shooting civilian aircraft, but nvm) - a region that isn't sure if it wants to be Ukraine, Russia or independent, which received help from Russia when Ukrainian military decided that the best answer to protests is an artillery barrage and an air strike or two.
Crimea is a Russian region which is as Russian as Moscow both historically and currently, that legally became sovereign per USSR dissolution agreement in 1991 and was occupied by Ukraine same year, held under threats of war for 23 years, constantly trying to move away from Ukraine and closer to Russia, and in 2014 used the first Ukrainian constitution, Kosovo precedent and the UN charter to declare independence (again) and invite Russian troops to secure Ukrainian occupational forces. Crimea never was Ukrainian, it was a sovereign state occupied by Ukraine that became de facto independent in 2014 and voted to re-join Russia.
Not trying to start a holy war here about anything, especially anything political, but it would be greatly appreciated if we could stick to facts and spend at least some time figuring out the situation before jumping to simple black-and-white conclusions.
Well researched ,well presented and we'll narrated ,as always Aaron 😄
In a Russian name an "i" is pronouced as "ee."
Cause the shape of letter is affects the perception of sound by a native speaker. Russian "И, и" wider than English "I, i", so as pronounce.
Another great briefing. Cheers Aaron!
Would be interesting to see an underwater base built on the ocean floor and powered by this small nuclear reactor. Always dreamt of one of those. Maybe they could build some sort of survelliance base there.
Soft spoken, information packed,well explained program.Thank you gentleman
If my memory serves me right, the Tsar Bomb had a yield of ~50 mega tons of TNT. Am I missing information, or does a 10-90 mega ton explosion seem a tad overkill for a fleet killing tactical nuclear weapon? I suppose you could use it against a port city in which case that yield makes much more sense.....
James Cassidy yeah, you’re totally right. It’s not an anti ship weapon. It’s a second strike platform to exist in case American BMD becomes too good.
exactly, to be more precise it meant to scary the guts out of some hotheads who think that they can invade Russia
Might be able to disrupt a Tsunami... non-combat application?
The tsar was 100Mt. The final stage was removed for the test so the dropping plane could get away.
not a port city but a whole coastline. 200mt will create a quite substential tsunami
Hi, I'm new. I just wanted to say Holy moly that whole unit is terrifying. Also thank you for creating this content. I'm happy for you, I looked at your analytics and it's up up up. You must / should be very proud. It's a hard niece to get a foothold in and you are smashing it 👀💯❤️
Poseidon seems to be a weapon straight out of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). I can just see a Chinese trawler catching one and not giving it back or one slamming into an offshore wind turbine. Hollywood will option either story.
PS - USN should start project Remora (drone sucker fish) to self attach to Poseidon. Let’s see who has the best drones.
Thanks for a great brief - It was very inclusive.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like some interesting targets for the Seawolf off Norway a few months ago!
The "seawolf" is a turtle for Poseidon lol
@@Putins-mustache the seawolf can probably track anything russia has easily. Its a simply ridiculous electronic warfare suite, and has seals pretty much always on board. Russia makes excellent boats, but as far as noise/acoustics they're a good 10 years behind the us and the brits are ahead of us all. Still rather have Russia as a friend than an enemy, you guys are badass and make unique and very good arms especially for the price. Much respect in our military is given to Russia and the Russian military.
@@randommexican5664 Do not remind me what class of submarines the Americans call low-noise "Black Hole" maybe this is project 877
What's the point of detection if the American slow torpedoes just don't catch up with the Russian boats. (Moreover, the noise from the propeller may be heard in the ocean at a distance of up to several thousand kilometers since absorption by ocean waters at this low frequency is negligible.) the Russians understand this and rely on a combined approach, high speed for guaranteed escape from the torpedo and sufficient stealth.
shows for comparison SL (The submarine's noise level or source level (SL) estimates, made by specialists, of the SSN 971 (classified by the Russian Navy as "Bars" and by NATO as "Akula") which is currently in production. In the "West" it is believed that these submarine significantly surpass the covertness not only of previous generation Russian SSNs, but also modern American SSNs [Gertz, 1995]. Probably, if a new generation of Russian strategic missile submarines will be built, they will not be much noisier than the SSN "Bars"

@@randommexican5664 Haha Nice joke
@@randommexican5664 "the seawolf *can probably* track *anything* russia has *easily* " you're so random indeed... just amazing how you came up with that
That missile sounds very advanced.
It pushes the science and tactics forward. I’m interested to see the US response, as well as this subs actual service. If it’s anything like the T-72 it’ll be all hype but the US response will place them ahead for decades to come
We’re already decades ahead. A super giant nuke torpedo should be pretty FING easy to hear miles away. All those hypersonic missiles they’re so proud of and claim can’t be shot down. Well we got MFING LASERS. 😂. Sorry speed of FING light trumps hypersonic and let’s not forget they vaporized an artillery shell mid flight during testing and that happened YEARS ago. So I’m certain it’s been improved and upgraded since then. 😂👍
@@stephenmyers7076 we aren’t
@@DK-gl3ih we aren’t what?
@@stephenmyers7076 “decades ahead”
@@stephenmyers7076 You´d need to be horribly precise with your "FING LASERS" to hit a hypersonic missile at longer ranges and who´s to say that would be enough to destroy one, as the atmosphere will scatter the beam effectively weakening it? You know, hypersonic flight causes a lot of thermal stress on the material used. So far, LaWS has destroyed an UAV and a floating ordnance at close range.
That Poseidon torpedo is awesome!
Jesus Jive, I just turned this video on and thought to myself, WTF has Jive done to his ears :)
I can't unsee that now 😂
He's actually Link from Zelda
When knowledge, history, facts and love for subs come together... Exceptional work!
Much appreciated!
Can you comment on the book“ All hands down?” And about the John Walker espionage ring. Seems there is some correlation about both of them. Do a video and your ideas thanks
I just stumbled upon this video and this channel. I like the calm nature of the presentation, the many facts and the images provided. No pride in anything blahblah, no cold war propaganda, just simply telling things as they are. Thank you very much, very good job. Greetings from Germany. Subscribed.
Once I noticed, I couldn’t help but be distracted by the visual your gaming chair presented. The whole time you were talking it looked like you had orange Vulcan/goblin ears sticking out under your hat... great brief tho. 😆
I just discovered your channel and this content is right up my alley. Thank you for your work and look forward to more!
Why don't we have something cool like this???
because the US military complex reality is far behind hollywood constructed image?
you (US?) do have. Boeing is woking on fully-autonomous hunter submersible drones, more or less the same size as rumored Poseidon.
@@harb1911 please go outside and talk to people
Fantastic work. Very informative.
Glad you enjoyed it!
14:40 Time to let loose those russian Gucci sailors. I can just see them in their fancy uniforms with added bling. ;)
As always, an amazing video!
"Sub Brief" guy, hey, can you make a "review" of your take on the Shkval torpedo/rocket? It is hard to find any western information on this thing in public, and the only thing I have seen is this old legend John Craven saying it isn't as impressive as it may seem or something like that, but what is your opinion?
I can add it to the list.
Great video! There is so much there.
What an amazing researched video, you have a new Sub man :) Pun intended haha
This is what RUclips and internet is for :) Amazing stuff.
Do you create the slides and gather all research on this yourself?
Fantastic work by the way on the video. Thank you for taking the time to create it.
If the claims are to be trusted, this ensemble of weapons is as terrifying as it's innovative, and may represent a fresh start in the nuclear arms race. MAD has just gotten madder.
I just read article of anti-SA-2 missile jamming in 1967. In movies(~1995) they disarmed mobile nuke bombs with detonating ignition charge safely without activating nuclear explosion... I wonder if these work with same principle.
@@effexon can you link the article please?
A very good historical and technical report!!
I bet they are thinking about second one for the pacific.
Belgorod is essentially a laboratory for the development of the technology. The second submarine is already being built on a different project.
Impressive project and respectful narrative of Russia and its people.
Nothing like putting all of your eggs in one basket.
We did they same thing with the third Sea Wolf, making it a unique "special purpose" boat.
Also the russians are designing new class of subs that can carry the S-6 torpedo, so it's not exactly all eggs in one basket
I'm just so obsessed with this submarine.
The idea of a nuclear warhead being deployed on a fully autonomous platform is strange and more than a little scary. I mean, to the best of my (admittedly limited) understanding, hasn't the principle with nuclear weapons for pretty much as long as we've had them been positive, redundant human control all the way up until the order is given to actually launch? Is putting a nuclear warhead on an autonomous Poseidon a capability that would actually be used in practice, or more of just a fear-inducer?
diplomacy is easier when nuclear ai big-ass torpedoes roaming around
@@motokek8649 Not if the AI decides it will attack its owner. Or gets hijacked and TOLD that it's former owner is the enemy. Or just silently destroyed or told to sink themselves, without the owner knowing.
There's no sane reason to give up positive control of nuclear weapons - the down sides are just enormous, and there's virtually no up side you can't get with positive control weapons.
I would imagine these things are launched in much the same manner as SCUDs are deployed. Whenever the need for second strike capability may be imminent.
@@eriktrimble8784 good to hear at least one voice of reason in the wilderness
Putin has not been in his right mind for a long time so this doesn't surprise me.
I love this nerd and his submarine nerdness.
I don’t know how I found this but I’m so happy I did
> _they invaded the crimean peninsula in 2014... during the seizure of Crimea_
Lie. Firstly, all troops based in Crimea and nobody invaded from somewhere to somewhere.
Secondly - nobody seizure anything. After illegal military coup in capital of country, authorities of Crimea Republic and president of the Ukraine asked Russia for help in protection from nazis which capture power in country and publicly on TV promised then to come into Crimea.
Crimea Republic declared own independence (else again, they already declared it when USSR was dissolved in 1991, but was occupied by the Ukraine) and then people voted to rejoin with Russia.
Seizure - it is, as example, when FRG (Western Germany) occupied GDR (Eastern Germany). Without any referendums or anything, just came troops, arrested local authorities, put some in exactly same cages in prisons where they before were hold by Hitler (symbolism, isn it?), fired all rest, deny for millions people to work in state structures and so on. Or seizure it is when USA invaded Syria and built on it territory own military bases, took under control oil fields and sell this oil as own.
it is pointless talk, exceptional ones understand the language of the fist only
Great presentation.
Thanks for watching
