Re: Submarines: Yasen Class
Looks impressive , I must admit .
It always looks so unstable for the poor sods walking along the back of subs , and the bloody great props spinning around at the back , reminds me of the old Bacon slicers we used to see in the grocers when we were kids ........errrr makes me shiver thinking of the mess

Re: Submarines: Yasen Class
Quoted from THE NATIONAL INTEREST:
"Though Severodvinsk—and her more modern sister ships like Kazan—are very capable submarines, Foggo had said, the U.S. Navy still retains an edge. But Russia will continue to invest in submarine research and development and it will continue to build an evermore-capable undersea fleet. “I believe that we—the West—still have an asymmetric advantage,” Foggo said. “I believe they will continue to refine their submarine capabilities with the intent of achieving parity with the West—ourselves included.”
Kazan is an example of Russia’s efforts to refine their submarine technology. Kazan is believed to be roughly 10 meters shorter than her predecessor, but appears to pack a larger punch. According to some reports, the refined Yasen-M design is thought to have eight torpedo tubes, which is two less than the original Severodvinsk. However, the new vessel is thought to incorporate two additional missile tubes for a total of ten silos. Each of those silos is thought to be able to carry four missiles—thus Kazan and the subsequent Yasen-Ms will pack an enormous offensive punch."
Hmm.......DFO

Yasen Class Nuclear-powered multipurpose Attack Submarine,RFS Kazan pictured returning to Severodvinsk from sea trials in November 2018.....a report from Russia's TASS News Agency dated May 17th 2019 states she will not be handed over to the Russian Navy in 2019 due to the need to refine support systems that do not meet the requirements of defense.
