The Insane Engineering Behind Spain’s Deadly S-80 Submarine 

and less noisy, keep in mind you cannot turn-off the cooling from a nuclear reactor, that is a big noise vector

what do you mean similar to nuclear submarines? Nuclear submarines have huge advantage they can run for very long periods, months, this sub is different you cannot compare it's made for 3 weeks missions.

No, it's not like that. A nuclear submarine has more advantages, but the annual maintenance cost is much higher. This submarine is more discreet than a nuclear one, it can remain submerged without having to surface for 28 days or more, not bad if you have several of these, for the cost of a nuclear one.@@kroooassant9899

​@@kroooassant989928 días sin emerger, q misiones de e semanas??? Jaajaja

​@@joncorx2927la Gente que ESTA trabajando en el proyecto afirma que sobrepasa de sobra los 50 días sumergido, aunque oficialmente se dice que son 3 semanas....ya verás cuando esté operativo la de sustos que va a dar a los submarinos de la competencia en las maniobras otan😂

Para q?

So innovative it stole the intellectual property of DCNS (now Naval Group) on the Scorpene to build this enlarged Scorpene version.

🤣🤣🤣😂 no robo nada y no es una versión del Scorpene . Eso se dijo para que no le quitase ventas . La versión grande del Scorpene la hace Brasil incultillo

@@DiegoAlatristeytenorio la version grande del Scorpene la hace Brazil con ayuda de Naval Group, y la versión nuclear también con ayuda francesa. En cuanto al s80, si que es un derivado del Scorpene. Y si, Nava tía ha sido perseguida por robo de propiedad intelectual. Lo que era importante para España, que sin ninguna experiencia en la construcción de submarinos no podía hacer nada, inculto.

​@@brunol-p_g8800Falso, el Scorpene es un pequeño submarino costero, el S80 tiene el doble de peso, y es un submarino oceánico, no sé en qué se pueden parecer, teniendo en cuenta que el Scorpene era también de diseño Español, y para tu información en España se fabricaban submarinos, cuando en Francia no sabían ni lo que eran.

@@brunol-p_g8800 well, that actually was on the court and completely disregarded back in the days, it is a different ship, and it has been already proved

Dude! RAN is getting Virginia-class nuke subs!

When was it ever a naval power?

You don't become the first empire where the sun doesn't set without being a naval power...

Canada needs a lot more of many other capabilities (P-8 Poseidons, etc. CSC) before getting this. An extreme example of this mistake is the R Aussie N paying $380B for Virginia-class nuke subs while not upgrading many other capabilities.

Rumanía un sub oceánico????

That is true, no one denies it, but it is also true that maintaining a nuclear submarine is many times more expensive, and every year that waste must be placed somewhere

Yeah but nuclear portion of the sub is maintain every 25 to 30 years. Plus nuclear technology is commercially available. Diesel engines require more maintenance than a nuclear reactor.

@@santiagoanderson9621 You have diesel engines aswell on nuclear subs.

​@@santiagoanderson9621The S-80 will have an AIP System.

@@santiagoanderson9621 What are you talking about? You confuse the useful life of the radioactive element. After 25 years the facility must be completely renovated, but that does not mean that there is a lot of periodic maintenance, but rather that the cost of this as well as the cost of the industries necessary for waste treatment is gigantic. Plus, ethanol can be manufactured by any country, even if it is banned from accessing oil or radioactive elements...which makes it a strategically very interesting fuel for a nation without natural resources.

sudaca

Nonsense.

Sé de dónde eres, o me lo puedo imaginar. La guerra electrónica del 212 alemán esa tecnología se la proporciona INDRA, entre otras por ej. De q estás hablando?? Me dices algo de la clase Astute los retraso q lleva??? Y los destructores ingleses para Australia el retraso de años q llevan por el sobrepeso y otros infinitos prblemas? tanto q quizás finiquiten el contrato y sea Navantia la q ya les construyó 3 destructores y q todos sabemos porqué los ingleses se llevaron ese contrato. Se tiran de los pelos los aussies. Los países q hacen estos programas se pueden encontrar con dificultades, los q tienen q comprar hasta un tornillo obviamente, no.

I think that if the new Astute class nuclear submarine has suffered weight problems and has had to call its big brother from America... not to mention the brand new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, which spend more time in dry dock than in the water.

es una mierda pero si no lo inventa un ESPAÑOL y la guerra civil nos costó que ESPAÑA fuera una potencia y la guerra nos destrozó entre los ESPAÑOLES a si tenéis submarino Isaac Peral 🇪🇦🌈🇪🇦

Nuclear Submarines produce more noise than AIP ones.

Lots of movies and video games...a nuclear submarine is a launching platform for intercontinental missiles, NOTHING MORE. With a nuclear submarine you cannot carry out intelligence missions near enemy coasts with the same ease as with a small submarine designed for this, it is like comparing a truck with rocket launchers with a humbee. The function of a nuclear submarine is to stay still in the middle of the ocean waiting for a counterattack.

@@MASC9 how would you even know that? Acoustic signatures of nuclear subs are some of the most highly classified info on the planet. sub's interior is completely designed to be sound proof so you cannot hear what is going on inside from the outside, otherwise you could hear the crew talking. FYI the human voice creates about 60 decibels which is twice as much as the noise of a water cooled PC. It'a fair assumption that military cooling tech for reactors is much much more advanced and quieter than anything available to the public for a PC. You have 0 idea what you are talking about.

@@MASC9 Last point conventional powered subs (AIP etc...) are only quiet when operating on battery power, and moving at a slugs pace. As soon as you needs to increase speed, the batteries dont last and you need the diesels to kick in which are noisy. So how is a sub supposed to hunt and chase frigates moving at 25 knots when the sub us going 3 knots? Completely useless for hunting purpose only good for sitting in one spot waiting to ambush. A nuclear power can steam ahead without any problems and go hunting. The reality is that nuclear poweed subs are vastly superior to diesel/electrics, that is why the most adavanced militaries have chosen them. The only drawback to nuclear powered sub is the technological knowledge required and costs.

@@lordtemplar9274 You have no idea how AIP works.

pocos. submarino no nucleares tienen capacidad de ataque a tierra este si y 18armas largas más que suficientes

@mac2626even a dinky toy is capable of sinking an aircraft carrier.🤤

@@Forthewin719They are, indeed! In addition, Navantia, with the full support of the Spanish government and Armada, offered two S80 to the Philippines. The offer includes the construction of a naval base and the training of the Marines under the supervision of the Armada. Turkey is also interested in the S80, and Poland and Canada have also accepted the Navantia S80 to move upward in their submarine program candidates list.

That's why they are going to buy the u214 which is much smaller than the s80....🤦‍♂

who said that ?
