And can break two meter of ice in the arctic ocean to launch its destructive power, where no destroyer can follow or bother. All the northern hemisphere was under its mercy.
I am retired US Navy and so is my friend. He's told me about his Destroyer and hearing the stat block for this one I was impressed. This is more than 4 times the displacement of his Destroyer and carried 30K more horsepower. On the surface it comes close to being able to keep up with his Destroyer and that is no mean feat. I am amazed such a massive ship was in service as a sub. Nice upload for an old retired Sailor.

@@ephapax1 Mostly because the US went crazy with enough ICBMs to destroy the whole planet, and would promisingly counter any attack made by russia. If the US hadn't done that, the russians would have most definitely used their weapons on the US and then the rest of the world would have to kneel to the powers of mass destruction held by the russians.
I was onboard the USS Yorktown (CG48) when it made a port visit to Severomorsk Russia in July 1992. I saw the Typhoon up close and it was massive. Toured the battlecruiser Kirov and an Udaloy class destroyer. Very eye opening experience.
@@shaw9851 Lacking a nuclear deterrent is a risk that most nations capable of having one still refuse to take: you've never any actual way of knowing if your nuclear deterrent is why you haven't been attacked at home. It was never Russia's hope that these actually have to be used in their offensive role. Their real hope was that the Typhoon and older missile subs (Delta etc.) would protect Russia merely by sailing.
I too think one would be good as a museum. Here in Pittsburgh there is an old submarine open to the public as a museum. It is a small ww2 submarine but still quite interesting.
How about de-militarize it and using as a underwater research vessel. With that size and endurance. Lockout chambers for divers, maybe even a parasite mini sub
One of the trim tanks has an access opening cut out of the top and the tank is tiled like a swimming pool. It's filled with icy cold, oily salt water and barely qualifies as a swimming pool in size. The on board sauna is much nicer than this "swimming pool".
The missile explosion had blown a huge hole in the top of the sub, which the crew could see from the conning tower after they surfaced. The liquid propellant of the missile caught fire and was spreading rapidly toward the remaining 19 nuclear missiles after the boat surfaced. The captain ordered an immediate emergency dive, letting the crew know that much of the boat was going to flood because of the huge hole. They submerged, putting out the fire, then immediately re-surfaced. This saved the boat. Since this incident was an embarrassment to Russia, it was hushed up and the skipper of the boat never got the recognition that he probably deserved.

My brother ( Alek) was in the Russian Navy and did work on a typhoon my whole family was in the Russian forces my except my mom my dad ( Dimitri) was in the air force my brother me in the land force my grandfather (Aleksey) fought in WW2 my grandmother ( Anna) also fought in WW2 she was a nurse
These are incredible, I was on a 60s diesel electric sub a couple of weeks ago and it’s incredible how little room there is in them, there is basically none, certainly no more than is required. I don’t know how accurate this stat is but I was once told a typhoon is larger than a WW2 aircraft carrier. That’s just mind blowing.
That true. Its approx the same size as ww2 carrier. Also displaces as much as an iowa class battleship at regular load. HOWEVER, surface ships tend to be larger for a given displacement, simply because they dont fully submerge.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that each one of these submarines displaces 48000 tons. FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND TONS. That is literally TWICE the displacement of a World War One era Battleship. And it is almost the same displacement as the Hood and the Bismarck. Let that sink in.
Setting aside the size technology cost and etc, can we all agree this is one beautiful boat? I certainly think so. Best looking sub ever built in my opinion.
Oh, you haven't seen this before? I've been seeing this a lot in youtube comments where the subject matter has a superlative in relation to it. "How big you want this?" "Yes" as in, all the big
Has been proved through history THAT BIGGEST IS NOT ALWAYS BEST. What was it that blew up the. TURPITZ Four man mini subs. You don’t need SEA MONSTERS.
Snow Jordan but you’d be screaming it’s the best thing ever if it was American, right? The Russians also had extremely competent smaller subs, so your point is bullshit.
Beautiful machines from two different powers. I love how the narrator says they made those in charge on both sides realize they were stuck and had to calm down and talk. Very good vid Thanks for the upload.
A truly amazing feat of engineering. I was a Sonar operator in the 80s & 90s and unfortunately we tracked a signature off a Typhoon class. Of course the order was to track it to death, running 24 hrs AMPEX recorder tapes, annotation and logs 24/7 for what was at least 7 days................It was exhausting work in shifts but likely one of the first contacts made with a Typhoon.............My respect is always with Submariners regardless of their country it does not matter...............I seriously think though that the US Navy over all these years and especially during Cold War never acknowledged how great the Soviets actually are at Naval Warfare..............
This is a very good presentation. Althought the audio quality is on the low side (shoud consider upgrading your voice recorder), the naration was good and kept me glued till the end. Good one.
One of the pinnacles of soviet era design an amazing machine so scary they used the shape for the boat in the film adaption of "The Hunt for Red October" a very impressive vessel it is a shame they are all but gone i would think such a large and versatile boat could find a peacetime use in research.
@trublu97 3 still exist, 2 are in reserve and 1 operational. Russian Navy doesnt want to let them go but the government cant fund their restoration and upgrades.
Amazing vessels. It's a shame they could not be modified for peacetime oceanic exploring, or disaster relief. I imagine those reactors could help power a city after a catastrophe, and it probably has a good desalination machine for clean water as well. It's not right that the efforts of all of those engineers and workers is rotting away in a shipyard.
Yes, you are right, any nuclear submarine is an autonomous power plant. In the 90s, there was a fuel crisis in our town and there were power outages in the town for 35 thousand people, then we simply connected the city network to the nuclear submarine and the town was provided with uninterrupted electricity for 100 percent
Ever been in a sub? U can't help but feel claustrophobic it's not for everyone. Being enclosed in a steel hull with no windows no sunlight and tight quarters.
I was on the USS Stonewall Jackson SSBN 634 gold crew. In my time, never saw, or even heard of anybody being claustrophobic. Once ship's and department l qualifications were taken care of, bored as hell, or stir crazy maybe, actually often, but claustrophobic, not once, not ever.
@@mikegagne3263 Such folks would have never made it on the boat in the first place. I'm sure you are well aware of the questions testing and training in place to detect those unfit for submarine service.
Weeeeeeeell, was for almost a year underwater on fifth sub of project 941 (later renamed Arkhangelsk). It can became boring as hell after 100 days, people will be irritated more easily (especially smokers which burned trough their cigarettes caches :) ) but claustrophobic - no.
@@mikegagne3263True. Stress may be hard thing: one of my friends who served on hunter-killer was decomed with nervous breakdown. They were participating in large scale exercises as target and as attacker, and weather was horrible. 10 days in storm sea, 50 % of time on the surface, almost without sleep, always on alert. When they returned to base he refused to admit on board staff admirals inspection, using lots of cursing and pointing his AK in their direction. So he was placed in psycho ward for assessment. He was later discharged without criminal charges (nobody likes big brasses with minimal sea experience) but while there he met midshipmen, who went crazy during patrol - he went to the heads and when he returned he was telling everyone that he is genie and can turn into anything. The boat was forced to return to base. This was rarest occasion, exceptional case.
Start a crowd fund may help a little, to counterbalance the massive sanction against Russian, after that the money is in urgent need to research/upgrade Russian 5th gen fighter jet to becombe truely stealth, then he money goes to repair some city constructions breaking down, and finally, it's possible to turn that sub a museum... or it maybe turned into a luxury cruise to earn cash to help starving Russian economy, as you can see that's pretty hard to achieve
I was a member of the Nuc Sub Tender USS HUNLEY AS31 67-71 at great Charleston Naval Weapons Station. We had boomers and fast attack Nuc Subs tied up alongside for supplies and repairs. It was a pretty exciting time in my life.
The old USSR was home to large deposits of ilmenite and rutile ores in Ukraine and even today Russia and Kazakhstan alongside Japan produce 99% of the titanium used in the USA. The titanium significantly reduced the boat's MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detection) signature too. More importantly the "941 class" (Typhoon) was designed from the outset to be almost equal to the striking power of the Ohio class of the USN. They were however also designed to be incredibly survivable and incredibly difficult to put out of action; as the Soviets couldn't build a quiet submarine they couldn't rely on staying hidden to achieve the ballistic missile submarine's raison d'etre of an unstoppable overwhelming retaliatory strike. Most people don't realise that by the late 70s the NATO navies were able to track, identify and assign "hunter killer" submarines tp every single Soviet ballistic missile submarine, in fact there would be an unholy flap on if just one Soviet "boomer" managed to evade detection fir even a few hours. It is estimated that within about 15 minutes of the Cold War going hot every single Soviet missile boat would have been engaged and destroyed. Although this seems laudable and even desirable during an armed conflict and even had the potential to stop a conflict escalating from conventional to nuclear (by removing the Warsaw Pact's ability to launch a guaranteed second or third strike) it fundamentally unbalanced the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction, although it was purely a defensive strategy to only be undertaken in the event of hostilities it could be seen as NATO having the capability to launch a pre-emptive strike which would be so effective that the USSR would not be able to deter limited nuclear strikes against it's conventional forces with the threat of unstoppable escalation. To this end the Typhoon (941, Akula) was created, it's primary offensive armament it's SLBMs were located between it's twin pressure hulls, with the torpedo compartment (3rd) pressure hull in the bow and the engineering sections toward the stern they were effectively cocooned from external attack by torpedo, it is widely believed that the SLBM fail safe firing systems were located outside the pressure hulls too. A Typhoon could remain at firing depth and continue to launch it's missiles while taking multiple (Mk 48 or ****fish) torpedo hits, all the pressure hulls could flood, the entire crew could be dead and the system would continue to fire. Titanium really was the only option.
Stephen Hick if what you said is true, particularly the part about the crew being dead and the boat’s compartments flooding yet still being able to shoot the nukes, then this sub was truly a modern marvel.
@@ephapax1 can't comment of survivability of the sub (though, the bigger the ship - the harder it is to get it sunk), but the intention of this sumbarine was also the ability to carry missiles capable to reach the territory of "potential enemy" (USA) even when fired from the base, right on the park near pier. Idea was that in case of Cold War going hot really on sudden, the submarines which weren't hanging somewhere in Atlantic/Pacific/Arctic wouldn't have enough time to gather full crew and leave the base before incoming nuclear strike on that base. Typhoon didn't need this in fact - if it was on the base that moment, and the alarm for the started war and incoming ICBM strike goes off, even shortened crew just launches the full missile salvo and can happily die with their duty done.
There exists ever larger submarine, it is called Belgorod, it will carry 6 Poseidon (Status 6) torpedos. Each Poseidon has 200 Megaton warhead, total of 1200 Megatons (1,2 Gigatons). Scary stuff
Belogrod is (or - might be ) finally finished proj. 949A (like Kursk) given SSN-23 Jimmy Carter treatment - additional section of the hull. Actually, proj. 949 were far more numerous, almost as big, and possibly even more complex and expensive. They basically shared same built pattern, though for different armament and different purpose. Belogrod, with additonal 10-12 meters would indeed be larger.
@@KatoOnTheTrack1 ok I was about to make a joke concerning op's original comment but out of respect after reading his profile name I quickly changed my mind 😑
@@henryjohnson7822 there was never Typhoon-class boat by the "Red October" name in the real life. The movie is 200% anti-Russian propaganda bullshit as pretty much every of Tom Clancy 's wet dreams.
@Return of the Native the only vessel by the name "Red October" was a steam riverboat built in 1911 and renamed after the revolution. There were never a destroyer "that went rogue". The only vessel in Soviet history that went rogue was Storozhevoy frigate where the ship's politruk wanted to start the Second Communist revolution.
@Wagner PD WSJ never ever had a good article in history. Out of 6 Typhoons ever build, 3 subs were scrapped on US "threat reduction" money, another 2 are waiting to be scrapped when Russia find free money (Uncle Sam somehow stopped giving money when it realized Russians are also profiting from this "threat reduction", lol), 1 sub is used as testbed until enough of Borei-A will enter service next 3 years.
I served in total 9 years in the military, but it was 'terra firma' , I could never have served on a submarine, they are steel coffins, the sheer size of this submarine, I think cannot be imagined, a submarine with a swimming pool !! how mad is that !
Leo Martin the largest warships in the world are the Nimitz and Ford class supercarriers , and then the Queen Elizabeth class supercarriers, outmassing the Typhoons and in the case of the US supercarriers, also with nukes ..
That's what I heard... FK it.. see where it goes!! 25 years later......" Nek Minnut.. look what our new shit has.. Quad roll stealth tape... with titanium paint on top... FKN look at that shit!!! wooo!" Did i just foreshadow....?. Ohhh nooooooooooo!
Can only imagine some of the stuff that goes on that us normal folks have no clue about. You have to hand it to the Russians. I sincerely hope they save at least one of these magnificent subs. What a beast!! Respect.
Yes exactly... there could easily be some sort of deadly and revolutionary top secret project that only the government designing it knows about right now 😮
And I'm truly astonished by the sheer size and power of the Typhoon class submarine, must feel like a waste for the USSR to have never used it in combat, but at least it served its purpose by deterring other countries from attacking the USSR during its commission.

My Respect 🇺🇸✝️
These are incredible, I was on a 60s diesel electric sub a couple of weeks ago and it’s incredible how little room there is in them, there is basically none, certainly no more than is required.
I don’t know how accurate this stat is but I was once told a typhoon is larger than a WW2 aircraft carrier. That’s just mind blowing.
That true. Its approx the same size as ww2 carrier. Also displaces as much as an iowa class battleship at regular load.
HOWEVER, surface ships tend to be larger for a given displacement, simply because they dont fully submerge.
Can we all just appreciate the fact that each one of these submarines displaces 48000 tons. FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND TONS. That is literally TWICE the displacement of a World War One era Battleship. And it is almost the same displacement as the Hood and the Bismarck. Let that sink in.
Of course, fully submerged, surface, such as the Hood and Bismarck = Barely even compares.
My neighbors had a Buick Roadmaster that was almost as big as one of these Typhoons.
I do love me a good old American land yacht 🇺🇸
I had two Buick centurys when I was younger. Those things are huge. Great for road trips
Setting aside the size technology cost and etc, can we all agree this is one beautiful boat? I certainly think so. Best looking sub ever built in my opinion.
Chameleon Scheimong pretty but NOISY: mortal sin in underwater warfare.
Russian submarine manufacturers: "How big do you want your submarine to be?"
Russian Navy: "Yes"
i dont get it? is that from a movie or something?
Oh, you haven't seen this before? I've been seeing this a lot in youtube comments where the subject matter has a superlative in relation to it.
"How big you want this?" "Yes" as in, all the big
@@hansbehrends438 still makes no sense
USSR navy : да
Amazing design and construction 🙌💪
Has been proved through history THAT BIGGEST IS NOT ALWAYS BEST. What was it that blew up the. TURPITZ Four man mini subs. You don’t need SEA MONSTERS.
If the Russians were competent, the missile and therefore the sub wouldn't get to such large size in the first place.
Snow Jordan but you’d be screaming it’s the best thing ever if it was American, right?
The Russians also had extremely competent smaller subs, so your point is bullshit.
@@peteredwards4154 - And the point of your comment is?
Beautiful machines from two different powers. I love how the narrator says they made those in charge on both sides realize they were stuck and had to calm down and talk. Very good vid Thanks for the upload.
That sub is impressive, it's what i would call a national treasure.
A truly amazing feat of engineering. I was a Sonar operator in the 80s & 90s and unfortunately we tracked a signature off a Typhoon class. Of course the order was to track it to death, running 24 hrs AMPEX recorder tapes, annotation and logs 24/7 for what was at least 7 days................It was exhausting work in shifts but likely one of the first contacts made with a Typhoon.............My respect is always with Submariners regardless of their country it does not matter...............I seriously think though that the US Navy over all these years and especially during Cold War never acknowledged how great the Soviets actually are at Naval Warfare..............
Was it a noisy boat? Hard to imagine something that size having a quiet signature

One of the pinnacles of soviet era design an amazing machine so scary they used the shape for the boat in the film adaption of "The Hunt for Red October" a very impressive vessel it is a shame they are all but gone i would think such a large and versatile boat could find a peacetime use in research.
@trublu97 3 still exist, 2 are in reserve and 1 operational. Russian Navy doesnt want to let them go but the government cant fund their restoration and upgrades.
A majestic beast! Hats of to engineering and brainpower involved.
Amazing vessels. It's a shame they could not be modified for peacetime oceanic exploring, or disaster relief. I imagine those reactors could help power a city after a catastrophe, and it probably has a good desalination machine for clean water as well. It's not right that the efforts of all of those engineers and workers is rotting away in a shipyard.
Yes, you are right, any nuclear submarine is an autonomous power plant. In the 90s, there was a fuel crisis in our town and there were power outages in the town for 35 thousand people, then we simply connected the city network to the nuclear submarine and the town was provided with uninterrupted electricity for 100 percent
Ever been in a sub? U can't help but feel claustrophobic it's not for everyone. Being enclosed in a steel hull with no windows no sunlight and tight quarters.
... And THEN, add 600 feet of water, on top of all that! These people are truly crazy ...
I was on the USS Stonewall Jackson SSBN 634 gold crew. In my time, never saw, or even heard of anybody being claustrophobic. Once ship's and department l qualifications were taken care of, bored as hell, or stir crazy maybe, actually often, but claustrophobic, not once, not ever.
@@mikegagne3263 Such folks would have never made it on the boat in the first place. I'm sure you are well aware of the questions testing and training in place to detect those unfit for submarine service.
Weeeeeeeell, was for almost a year underwater on fifth sub of project 941 (later renamed Arkhangelsk). It can became boring as hell after 100 days, people will be irritated more easily (especially smokers which burned trough their cigarettes caches :) ) but claustrophobic - no.
@@mikegagne3263True. Stress may be hard thing: one of my friends who served on hunter-killer was decomed with nervous breakdown. They were participating in large scale exercises as target and as attacker, and weather was horrible. 10 days in storm sea, 50 % of time on the surface, almost without sleep, always on alert. When they returned to base he refused to admit on board staff admirals inspection, using lots of cursing and pointing his AK in their direction. So he was placed in psycho ward for assessment. He was later discharged without criminal charges (nobody likes big brasses with minimal sea experience) but while there he met midshipmen, who went crazy during patrol - he went to the heads and when he returned he was telling everyone that he is genie and can turn into anything. The boat was forced to return to base. This was rarest occasion, exceptional case.
I would give a kidney just to see one of these beasts...Stunning piece of engineering.
Deal. Keep that kidney on ice, I'll be right over.
Excellent video! Proud of my American Navy boats but have always liked the Typhoon's and other Soviet/Russian ships.

I've ever seen...Russians can get some bad ass stuff going..
I LOVE this giant!!❤💪 They should keep the last Typhoon as a museum boat!!
Start a crowd fund may help a little, to counterbalance the massive sanction against Russian, after that the money is in urgent need to research/upgrade Russian 5th gen fighter jet to becombe truely stealth, then he money goes to repair some city constructions breaking down, and finally, it's possible to turn that sub a museum... or it maybe turned into a luxury cruise to earn cash to help starving Russian economy, as you can see that's pretty hard to achieve
Like Arnie said in T2.
" You are self destructive by nature. "
Awesome sub, but... we have too many weapons on this planet. lol
I was a member of the Nuc Sub Tender USS HUNLEY AS31 67-71 at great Charleston Naval Weapons Station. We had boomers and fast attack Nuc Subs tied up alongside for supplies and repairs. It was a pretty exciting time in my life.
Everyone's feelin Gangsta until Igor Loginov tries to launch the ICBM!
Wow an incredible piece of engineering
The launch silos were mounted between the two pressure hulls but also within the ballast water, which was an incredible safety feature.
The old USSR was home to large deposits of ilmenite and rutile ores in Ukraine and even today Russia and Kazakhstan alongside Japan produce 99% of the titanium used in the USA.
The titanium significantly reduced the boat's MAD (Magnetic Anomaly Detection) signature too.
More importantly the "941 class" (Typhoon) was designed from the outset to be almost equal to the striking power of the Ohio class of the USN. They were however also designed to be incredibly survivable and incredibly difficult to put out of action; as the Soviets couldn't build a quiet submarine they couldn't rely on staying hidden to achieve the ballistic missile submarine's raison d'etre of an unstoppable overwhelming retaliatory strike.
Most people don't realise that by the late 70s the NATO navies were able to track, identify and assign "hunter killer" submarines tp every single Soviet ballistic missile submarine, in fact there would be an unholy flap on if just one Soviet "boomer" managed to evade detection fir even a few hours. It is estimated that within about 15 minutes of the Cold War going hot every single Soviet missile boat would have been engaged and destroyed.
Although this seems laudable and even desirable during an armed conflict and even had the potential to stop a conflict escalating from conventional to nuclear (by removing the Warsaw Pact's ability to launch a guaranteed second or third strike) it fundamentally unbalanced the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction, although it was purely a defensive strategy to only be undertaken in the event of hostilities it could be seen as NATO having the capability to launch a pre-emptive strike which would be so effective that the USSR would not be able to deter limited nuclear strikes against it's conventional forces with the threat of unstoppable escalation.
To this end the Typhoon (941, Akula) was created, it's primary offensive armament it's SLBMs were located between it's twin pressure hulls, with the torpedo compartment (3rd) pressure hull in the bow and the engineering sections toward the stern they were effectively cocooned from external attack by torpedo, it is widely believed that the SLBM fail safe firing systems were located outside the pressure hulls too.
A Typhoon could remain at firing depth and continue to launch it's missiles while taking multiple (Mk 48 or ****fish) torpedo hits, all the pressure hulls could flood, the entire crew could be dead and the system would continue to fire. Titanium really was the only option.
Stephen Hick if what you said is true, particularly the part about the crew being dead and the boat’s compartments flooding yet still being able to shoot the nukes, then this sub was truly a modern marvel.
@@ephapax1 can't comment of survivability of the sub (though, the bigger the ship - the harder it is to get it sunk), but the intention of this sumbarine was also the ability to carry missiles capable to reach the territory of "potential enemy" (USA) even when fired from the base, right on the park near pier. Idea was that in case of Cold War going hot really on sudden, the submarines which weren't hanging somewhere in Atlantic/Pacific/Arctic wouldn't have enough time to gather full crew and leave the base before incoming nuclear strike on that base. Typhoon didn't need this in fact - if it was on the base that moment, and the alarm for the started war and incoming ICBM strike goes off, even shortened crew just launches the full missile salvo and can happily die with their duty done.
I am here because Indonesia has just experienced the tragedy of the submarine KRI Nanggala 402 I ask for prayers for the crew who died
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Love that a missile exploded and it was a minor inconvenience: "Missile explosion, Keptin!"
"Da, da, we fix later. Pass vodka".
Nice. A giant Soviet nuclear monster
More exotic... stuff)
...an also known by it codename - trump.
There exists ever larger submarine, it is called Belgorod, it will carry 6 Poseidon (Status 6) torpedos.
Each Poseidon has 200 Megaton warhead, total of 1200 Megatons (1,2 Gigatons).
Scary stuff
Yes, very scary stuff, hope they are never used.
Belogrod is (or - might be ) finally finished proj. 949A (like Kursk) given SSN-23 Jimmy Carter treatment - additional section of the hull. Actually, proj. 949 were far more numerous, almost as big, and possibly even more complex and expensive. They basically shared same built pattern, though for different armament and different purpose. Belogrod, with additonal 10-12 meters would indeed be larger.

@Return of the Native the only vessel by the name "Red October" was a steam riverboat built in 1911 and renamed after the revolution. There were never a destroyer "that went rogue". The only vessel in Soviet history that went rogue was Storozhevoy frigate where the ship's politruk wanted to start the Second Communist revolution.
@@cianakril I understand that but isn't that the same sub they used for the movie?
"Caterpillar engaging!"
I recall hearing post USSR Russians have started using the Typhoon name as well, because they find it more iconic/cool.
I thought the TYPHOON sub was rusting away in Vladivostok, a relic too costly to maintain for the former Soviet Union.
Nope one is still operational (TK-209 Dmitriy Donskoy) as a testbed and training crews for nuclear submarines.
@Wagner PD There's no way they'd sell a boomer. An older diesel attack sub, sure, but not a boomer.
@Wagner PD WSJ never ever had a good article in history.
Out of 6 Typhoons ever build, 3 subs were scrapped on US "threat reduction" money, another 2 are waiting to be scrapped when Russia find free money (Uncle Sam somehow stopped giving money when it realized Russians are also profiting from this "threat reduction", lol), 1 sub is used as testbed until enough of Borei-A will enter service next 3 years.
I served in total 9 years in the military, but it was 'terra firma' , I could never have served on a submarine, they are steel coffins, the sheer size of this submarine, I think cannot be imagined, a submarine with a swimming pool !! how mad is that !
Great documentary, thanks for the upload.
Even to this day the typhoon is STILL THE BEAST of the seven seas.
Leo Martin the largest warships in the world are the Nimitz and Ford class supercarriers , and then the Queen Elizabeth class supercarriers, outmassing the Typhoons and in the case of the US supercarriers, also with nukes ..
"The world is precious, but the world without Russia should be destroyed."

"I got one!.... AAAAAHHHHHH!"
When it surfaced with his net on it I bet he had to go change his drawers....
What I'm hearing is that it was basically 2 submarines sandwiching a missile silo, which they then wrapped up in stealth tape. Sounds very Russian.
That's what I heard... FK it.. see where it goes!! 25 years later......" Nek Minnut.. look what our new shit has.. Quad roll stealth tape... with titanium paint on top... FKN look at that shit!!! wooo!"
Did i just foreshadow....?. Ohhh nooooooooooo!
Can only imagine some of the stuff that goes on that us normal folks have no clue about. You have to hand it to the Russians. I sincerely hope they save at least one of these magnificent subs. What a beast!! Respect.
Yes exactly... there could easily be some sort of deadly and revolutionary top secret project that only the government designing it knows about right now 😮
And I'm truly astonished by the sheer size and power of the Typhoon class submarine, must feel like a waste for the USSR to have never used it in combat, but at least it served its purpose by deterring other countries from attacking the USSR during its commission.
So essentially 2 submarines inside another submarine? Between these and Hinds Russia do make some pretty badass gear IMO you have to admit!
Yamato class Battleships
Nimitz class aircraft carriers
And Akula (typhoon) class submarines.

Ford class is bigger
