The Extremely Quiet Improved Kilo Submarines: Respected by NATO as the 'Black Hole' 

I heard some people mock the Kilo for its unusually large hull for a diesel submarine. One thing I want to point out, this is a huge bonus. Hull size barely affects noise, but it allows to install a lot of noise suppression equipment and internal rubber barriers, making it much quieter and being the true innovation compared to previous soviet electric boats. Moreover, this allows to install more batteries, extending the operational range, a spherical sonar, more weapons and more space for the crew.

These Kilo Class Submarines are wickedly capable in their own territorial waters, not as much when they try to conduct global operations. Love that you included the Kilo operators info, nice addition.

Oh it has a black hole alright

Very effective in incepting missiles

Turns out they're also capable of intercepting cruise missles.

Abh the classic kilo. One of my favorites.

One of my favorites, if I could own a submarine it would be the Kilo

They blow up good. Real good!

Russia Kilo class now has 2 extra big holes for deep sea fishing.

Thanks to new improvements by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Kilo-class Rostov-on-Don now has an amazing limitless dive feature. Unfortunately, it can't come back up from the dive.

Kilo's are great at 5-7 knots. Anything greater (speed) and they are a "DEATH TRAP" with new detection technology.

New and Improved Improved Kilo: Now with cruise missile interception capabilities!

Great submarine

We Have 5 Kilo Submarines in Iran Navy but they Upgraded and Renamed into "Nahang"

The" BLACK HOLE" quote come out of beginning of the 1990's NATO naval exercises between NATO the former Warsaw Packet navy members - Poland and UK navy on Baltic sea when UN navy couldn't locate ORP Orzeł/Eagle and the small UK aircraft carrier was tagged/targeted by ORP Orzeł.....

Буль - буль :-)))

It turns out that despite how quiet the KILO is . Not having it submerged and out of port makes them quite easy to kill. According to Ukraine atleast.

An even bladed propeller creates harmonics that are detectable. All Russian submarines carry manpads.

Nice footage going through the Bosphorus. 👍

I know that Nato have found a way to track this submarine type. Being silent doesn't help Russia anymore.

Ukraine recently improved one.

May I know whats the difference of improved Kilo Class 1 and Kilo class 2

Do you have a video on the yasen and yasem-m subs

I’m guessing at the end the boats are shooting out water to hide the noise of the kilos from the Americans and British.

For ambushing US surface assets at choke points like the Bashi Strait, the AIP Yuans would be far superior than the Improved Kilo due to submerged endurance.

Oof

rather a black hole for ukraines missiles lol

These subs need to be upgraded with LiFeP batteries and may be a low power silent miniature nuclear power plant. Otherwise, they are just shallow water coastal submarines... sitting ducks.

Russia should have about 40 of these submarines to defend against NATO aggression /expansion.

Vietnam has six of these submarines, that says a lot about having China as your neighbor.

realy as a demon ? most dangerously submarine ...

So I’m watching this in the last days of 2022 and it has been said Ukraine may receive sea king helicopters from the British. If they sent Ukraine one with anti submarine submarine equipment still aboard. How could we expect them to do. Now below is a scenario I could see taking place but don’t know how it would go down because I don’t have the knowledge of both submarine and helicopter I imagine a scenario where Russia launches a missile attack and a kilo class sub takes part but Nato surveillance aircraft were able to get a fix in the missile launch point. And it just so happens Ukraine has this freshly delivered hypothetical anti submarine sea king helicopters ready to scramble to that location from Odessa to try to attack the sub. Would they probably have luck finding the kilo class sub or would it be to quiet to precisely locate. Moral of the story would it get away because of being quiet or would the Ukrainians have enough information to work with that the sub would be at serious risk from this helicopter and it attacking.

Comment section was crawling with salty Ukrops/ Ukies. . .

R.I.P. Mr. Kilo...you have been turned into scrap metal

I can’t for the comments and wasn’t disappointed. Can you smell that? The sweet sweet smell of ruzzki cope

Victory to the Russian Federation, and it's "Special Military Operation." ⭐🇷🇺🇷🇺Z🇷🇺🇷🇺⭐

Lol ,bugman cope
