Here's a rare look inside a Russian sub. Note the Jules Verne vibe surrounding the design -- all the tubes, wires, and pipes. This shows the classic Cold War era Soviet approach to the problem that stands in sharp contrast to the relatively anticeptic look of American submarines. And dig the sound of a million bees buzzing as the torpedoes translate forward.

Many people think that Meisha good kill. The sense of aversion to the, No friends (pegged out) and of course there will be no joy. No maple story mesos, you will not feel happy! I just like playing a few career, spent a total of 100 to block it.

Therefore, when I practiced this role, I have also spent much energy and the 2moons gold.

no wonder they didn't want a physical confrontation with us.

nice to meet you

Submarine designs like this are the norm. Pipes, wires, motors etc. are exposed in case damage occurs . Nobody wants to take apart a million panels and screws underwater in a cramped sub during battle, just to repair a pipe.

By the way, other than the automated tube doors, that torpedo room looks very similar to other submarines. They all have exposed pipes, valves, electrical, and ductwork.

One of the early Russian SSN designs had a primary coolant loop routed through crew's mess !
You couldn't pay me to go to sea on a Russian sub.

A simple Google search on 'russian submarine disaster' has the Russians with 'four lost submarines with many others damaged to reactor accidents, fires, and weapons explosions.'

Ron, in one of the Russians newer tanks, if you're the loader, you must be short, left handed, and quite strong. This smacks of poor human factors design. I worked with a guy who did equipment/design analysis on USSR export equipment. His comment was that everything was oversized, heavy, and while it could be fixed, wasn't up to US military standards. One of the issues is that the USSR/Russians have a different attitude towards equipment design than we do. One of our jet engines is made to last for thousands of hours of flight time. A Russian engine might only last for 500 hrs before scrap out.

I don't know anything about the naves of the worlds. I served in the Army. I do know that the Military tryed to say that the russians were lacking in expertise.that their maintance was poor due to languise problems. exected because of the 9 or 10 languise in that country. that they did not care about their troops.that they were uneducated.so on and so forth. but aparently thats not so. so don't be fooled by apperance's look at the t34 tank of ww2. the allies sherman tank could not stand up to the germans panzers nose to nose.but the t-34 did . don't get me wrong I'm solid american born and bred.there is nothing better then the good old U.S.A.. but don't turn your back on someone you don't know.never under estamate the other guy.

I am agree with you Jack, but I think most of the radiation contamination cases happened in the early developments of nuclear submarines in the URSS, but I could easily wrong because I don't consulted any data right now. Anyway in this sense I think you are right.

As an engineer, my gut feeling when seeing a cluttered piece of equipment is what else is wrong with the design? Making it pretty is a mark of pride in most good engineering.
Posted by: George Skinner at January 13, 2008 01:42 AM
Haven't the Russians traditionally gone for function over form, for the most part. They don't necessarily make pretty but they do make effective.

I don't know about 'antiseptic', but apparently there's enough room to dance in a US torpedo room... though I won't comment on the quality of dancing involved. :)
Dotomo, the loss difference may only be one, but how many accidents did the USSR/Russians have on board their subs? How many of their subs were so heavily contaminated by radiation that it was unsafe for their crews? How many near core meltdowns have they had? Their crews are at the mercy of their defense contractors.

If I am not wrong they only lost one submarine more than the US, but if anyone have the time to count here it is a pair of links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_submarine_accidents
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Lost_Soviet/Russian_submarines
I think that is a partially old submarine.
And Pharsalus, please respect the russian marines (probably victims of their politicians in some or many ways) as we want respect for ours.
Posted by: Dotomo at January 11, 2008 12:10 PM
The major advantage with Russian tech: if you're torpedo is stuck, you can unstick it wit a sledgehammer. Which, maybe, is what the Kursk boys tried ^_^
Still, probably SMC's right, an old Victor I is my guess.
Posted by: Pharsalus at January 11, 2008 10:24 AM
This appears to show them having trouble with the loading problem. Did you notice that while the noise was happening that the torp appeard to be stuck? This is probably an old sub also as they'd be unlikely to let the new tech be shown so casually.
Posted by: smc at January 11, 2008 10:15 AM
They'd never sneak up on anybody unless the pre-load those torpedoes miles away.

Unique, should have video copy sent to History Channel, Discovery Channel & Cong on House Armed services Comm & Senate Armed Services Comms alone.
Give copy to candidates whose Pro defense.
If shot today, we can beat these subs.
Dated sub tech.
No wonder they lose so many subs.
