Is Russia's new submarine any good? 

The opening scene felt like a movie

If it doesn't have an onboard swimming pool, I'm not interested.

Boreas is the Greek god of the cold north wind, storms, and winter. IDK why, but I just love this name and can't remember anything cooler.

Retired as it maybe but Ill still love the typhoon class. That baby thicc!

I thought this was about the Belgorod submarine

The Royal Navy had trouble firing it's missiles recently.

Just the presence of sauna already makes the new Borei upgrade vastly superior.

Let me give a few addtional history. The Borei's, which are the product of Project "Zapad" a Soviet era submarine building program, were originallt slated to be armed with 12 R-39UTTH SLBMs. Now R-39UTTH is an improved version of the R-39 SLBM, the major difference between the two missiles is that the R-39UTTH SLBM has a greater throw weight which is 3.05 tons compared to the R-39 which is 2.55 tons, plus with newer, compact and light weight nuclear warheads which were adapted from the R-29 SLBM the R-39UTTH can carry 10 or more low yield nuclear warheads. Another difference is the accuracy, NPO Avtomatika developed the guidance system of the two missiles, the R-39 was reported to have a CEP of 500 meters, while the R-39UTTH was reported to have a CEP of 120 meters. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russians decided to move the development of the R-39UTTH was moved to Russia, the development of the first stage of missile was transfered from Yuzhmash (Ukraine) to NPO Iskra and NPO Altai, so was the second stage. The third stage was already being developed by NPO Iskra during Soviet times, the MIRV bus segment was already being developed by Kbkhm which is Russian. All three stages of the R-39UTTH were produced in the PZKHO plant in Perm in fact specialize production equipment from Pavlograd (Ukraine) were transfered to the PZKHO plant to produce the 1st stage of the missile. The first test of the R-39UTTH in Russia was on November 1993, but it was declared a failure, there was a total of 4 tests all were unsuccessful, Makeyev attributed the failure of the lack of funding in the localization of production of the 1st stage of the missile, plus the Ministry of Defence was complaining of the cost of the production of the engines. Makeyev still defended the R-39UTTH as the missile program was 70 percent complete and that they needed additional funding, the problem is that during the 90s the defense budget was so small that design bureaus were fighting over the small defense budget that available at that time.

I was expecting the belgorod class submarine but borei class it is..

SLBM does NOT stand for Sea Launched Ballistic Missile but SUBMARINE Launched Ballistic Missile.

"Stealthier than any other submarine ever built" As someone who spent more than half of my adult life under the Atlantic Ocean, I'm gonna have to disagree. BUT! Sure!

im sure is about 1/4 as capable as they claim it is XD

their crisp white sheets is still no match for the DIRTY BOOTS!

13:25 My grandfather retired as “CHIEF OF NUCLEAR DESIGN” where these are designed and built! It’s Groton/New London, CT

The Grafix work is nice.

boreis are meant to replace delta iii and iv ssbns and later even typhoon ssbns. There are 12 boats planned

Do you see torpedoes? Kamchatka sees torpedoes

Another great video! Love the animations. Keep up the good work (:

I'd love to see new submarine videos from you, the ones you've made so far are excellent!

the lack of a sauna is a deal breaker.

Russians don’t even need to get close with a sub , it just sends Poseidon 2,000km to sit off waiting to go bang . It makes Phuket tsunami look like a ripple in a pond

It wouldn’t even be an effective paperweight, it’d roll right off the paper and get everything soaking wet. Not to mention how hard it would be to fit it on a desk.

Is it capable of sending one ping only?

"Oh, well isn't that nice." - Captain of the USS Seawolf. (probably)

Cool, it's probably why the US is busy building the Ohio's replacement, the Columbia class.

If its worthy to retire and replace the monsterous typhoon classes. It must be a beast

Any chance you could do a video just on escape pods and ejector seats?

Good stuff well done

great to see a video on a submarine!

Really good video mate

Why would you put the escape pod on top of the reactor

Would it be possible to make a video about the cycle car that Russia was developing a few years ago? Would be used in military applications

I love your work. Keep up the good work 👏. And thanks 😊 for keeping geopolitics from your channel. Ur channel is about technology, not politics. I hope ur channel will grow even bigger.

Wow !!! Respect, Bro! :))😃🤟🤟🤟

As of 13:26 I just realized that's the Washington Monument on the left for scale etc.

One of the best ICBM subs out there

What's the name of the song at 07:00?

great video !!!

Even if the Kursk had had an escape pod like that shown on the Borei-class boats, the sad reality is that most--if not all--of the Kursk's crew would have still died on board. I'm not sure if those who survived the initial explosion (and gathered in the stern sections) could have made it to the pod.

I would love video about Akula class subs

1:30 Does anyone know what craft those soldiers are hopping out of? Looks like a landing craft but I can’t make heads or tails.

1:29 what vehicle are they dismounting from

How bout a comparison of super power submarines and how they stack against each other

@6:35 makes it sound like Kursk didnt have a rescue pod

It is somewhat ironic that these weapon systems are designed in the hope that they will never be used. If the enemy is uncertain they can neutralize that threat, they will likely never start a war. It is better for everyone if both sides have missiles boats that are nearly, or even actually, impossible to track.

29 secs ago is crazy

Please make a video about the xp67 moonbat

"below the waves" yes

Nothing is possible everything is impossible

Please do one on the Yansen M class SSBN too. I have seen reports saying its really really good........

Found and explained, a show about a sub that is difficult to find and not easily understood, you sir are a steely eyes missile man!

Service on WES aren't supposed to excursions... they are bought as supplement rolling stocks to support the Colorado Railcars. But yeah, they are rarely used I think... I've never seen them anywhere but at their yard.

Bring on all the subs.

KURSK was on of my favourite sub 😢

YES

The S is for SUB not sea.

yes make a videos on Russian submarines

You used a wrong picture for Alexander Nevskiy! That's Alexander III!

modern russia is slowly lowkey on becoming another soviet union without communism. Massive manufacturing of military armaments, R&D, infra projects, economical corridors, etc

The Borei’s next iteration, Project 955B, has already been cancelled for failing to meet “the cost/efficiency criterion.” Casting yet further doubt on Borei’s future are reports that the Russian Navy will not be moving ahead with its last two Borei submarine orders, scheduled for the mid 2020’s.

Спасибо автору за интересный рассказ о предмете без геополитики и негатива. Пусть эти прекрасные машины никогда не будут использованы по своему целевому назначению. Всем мира!

Borey class submarine

I thought the American Nightmare was Cody Rhodes?

0:48 you cant hide the Tsar from us

BOREI 955 -- same as my Triumph Daytona's engine's capacity (in cubic inches)

Please make one for apache ah 64e

History taught us not to fear Russian technology.

Can you make some about the uk sub that fails to shoot it's nuclear missiles

9:30: It’s Topol-M.

the submarine is just like a very long steel bar and i like it

Experience is the key, Russia has so much of it.

Bro its the k329 belgorod thats the largest and the most powerful that has A posieden torpedo which can lead a 500 foot tsunami

When you said coke , I thought of another one 😂😂

00:55 Everyone loves Coke - *BOTH TYPES* thanks to Coca-Cola and Mr P. Escobar 😂😂😂

Russian missiles and submarines have always been top notch. The Borei class is gorgeous. As for missiles, the UK and US doesn’t have much room to talk with the recent Trident failures to launch ;)

Here to remind you that if you skipped the ad part of the video rewatch it

6:43 Soviet subs have had crew escape capsules in many of their boats going back to the 70's. Not that they helped much.

🤔 trying to pay attention but also trying to anticipate how Nick weaves in his sponsor 🤔

The Ohio class submarines with the hump on the back don't carry nuclear missiles. That's the version that was modified to carry a bunch of special forces soldiers.

Shovels indeed.

Im going to call it the scrap metal class submarine

Submarines are cool

Whoa whoa it can not dive up to a mile down

nice

For a moment i thought it was belgorod as they look pretty similar to each other _🗿_

“Adrenaline, In The Zone!”

Curious about the flag that popped up a few times. Like at 11:06. What's the origin?

"...win for the shipyards" ?? It usually is in the West.

Russia is already on their way with their Yasen class submarine...

did anyone else see the dolphin at 4:24

Yeah I videos on the other subs, to think that each of them could end the world as we know it.

A 'Ban the Bomb' movement is more seriously needed than ever, to prevent an end of the world scenario! Sending a handful of pilgrims to Mars to restart humanity's insane desire to self destruct elsewhere, is not the answer.

Can you do one on the Yasen class?

BTW, what's the thing with revamping SLBM subs to launch cruise missiles instead, isn't that something of a downgrade?

Ah the Bulava controvercy, Yuri Solomonov made a lot of enemies at Makeyev for what he did. The R-39UTTH was basically exposed to the chaos of the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Im gonna spill someones classified project. Id bet dollars to donuts there is a classified "Submersible Drone Carrier" Think about it. A typical aircraft carrier is a target. Subs are not, but it gets dicy trying to land a human pilot jet aircraft on a deck at sea. Make that a sub at sea and its harder still. Instead of torpedos, & missiles, just do drones. Hell you could launch them like you launch missiles from underwater having them pop up out of the water from compressed air to take flight and SMITE your enemies down. They return like bees to a hive. Now what commander would NOT want this asset? TELL ME we don't have this... ill bet we do.

When the Russians tell you about their new weapon systems; it would be wise to be rather skeptical

cody rhodes mentioned

kursk was good until they used the not goodest torpedo they had in a brand new boat. they have the smarts to build cool stuff, but not operate it.

Super Dangerous how many crews killed
