What Happened To Russia's Cold War Nuclear Submarines? | End Of Red October 

They are coming for you.. You will see. They are coming for you.. They have uranium in their pockets.

In a nutshell: Welding: action of welders doing their things. I know...

@@alexandrevaliquette1941 ya. That's not how they used the word though.

@@justlucky8254 I guess we should let them Youtubate their thing to people.

Air-arc? That is a welding process, so is oxy/acy cutting.

These modern day "documentaries" are so dumbed down and cheap even the narration is nonsensical. The producers either don't understand the subject matter at all or just don't care enough to even bother describing things accurately. Theres better documentaries made by part time RU-vidrs these days.

It was definitely interesting that they chose to refer to it as "unsinkable".🤣

Cute picture of you aspopulvera9130

Being vaporised by a present day nuke = not so scary. Being vaporised by a 1960's nuke = shit your bell-bottoms time.

When was it written? Until Putin and North Korean developments most people thought the threat was pretty much over.

​@@Iaintwoke the warheads are likely in as derelict a condition as the rest of their gear. Of course, until we know for sure, no one wants to test that hypothesis.

It was - used in the Tom Clancy FICTIONAL novel: "The Hunt for Red October".

@@mikehindson-evans159 maybe they are using Red October as a blanket term for the rise and fall of the USSR? I remember reading somewhere that Red October was another name for the revolution of Russia in October 1917.

Russians are stubborn drunks. They are slop.

they are using the name as a "placeholder name" to refer to the entire Soviet submarine fleet

@@crazydoggentleman7930 red October refers to the October revolution in Russia in 1917. there were actually two revolutions in Russia in 1917-the first one I believe in February overthrew tzar Nicolas II and established a provisional government that ruled Russia as a republic. it was mostly conservative and continued the war which angered a lot of people. it always struggled for legitimacy and due to it being weak politically, the Communists initiated a second revolution in October lead by Vladimir Lenin which is the one most people are familiar with. they pulled out of the war, started a civil war, assassinated the deposed royal family, and declared the establishment of the Soviet union in 1922 in concert with neighboring countries

The UN should be abolished. F globalism!

"Surprise Inspections on a Regular Basis" 😂 Not _too_ regular I hope! (Yes I understand what he means, it just sounds funny)

Yes, overly dramatic Russia Bashing is always topical. Especially when marching off to a nuclear war.

What are people trolling about? Are they actually trolling or are they speaking facts that some people dislike? I've read many of the comments and have yet to encounter a troll so I'm curious what led you to make that comment.

what country fores you to put that many spaces between words like that?

United States but could be my poor typing skills

Actually contrary to popular belief, most Russian Submarines were steel hulled. Only 12 combat submarines were titanium hulled. The first was the singular example of the Papa class. The next 7 were Alfa class. The last 4 were the Sierra class. Only the Sierra's are still active or at least not retired. Sierra's are a great submarine. Like a Titanium Akula, sadly, with a worse older sonar due to the smaller width. Titanium is great for profit. Radioactive Titanium is not. Foundries where I am from avoid hot Russian steel.

@@The31stcenturyfox In fact there is a market for what is called ''pre-signature iron/steel. Metal that is from old ships, that sunk before the nukes is being salvaged and used for sensitive medical and probably other sensitive devices. Some divers report entire ship wrecks there one year gone the next.

@Chuck Laizure yup that's why WWII wrecks keep disappearing from the bottom of the pacific.

Hanford is in Washington, not Oregon.

Great catch. Your correct.👍🇺🇸

Good catch. I'm not sure if you knew this or not, but you can create a timestamp that people can click on to take them directly to the time in the video that you mentioned. Just type the hour, minute, second with a colon between each number. For your example, 23:38.

They said on another video I've seen that it was a lads mother.

Dang - that’s crazy.

I trust people like you quickly 🙏

Did you see them take one contamination survey???? No

Yes, a sedative to knock her out or calm her down.

Yep.

Like kids with three arms???

@Old Timer no like disassemble the submarines in the video bro, I like doing shit the that, witch is why I do factory work

@@whiteboyplays6940 Could you use a water jet to cut the steel like the do with plate steel .I only have worked on sailboats .But it would negate the fire risk

Cool story, bro. ..does your therapist take cash?

@@acb9896 Hehe mapping and research is part of my job actually, hopefully i won't need a therapist!

I looked it up today, I see over 100 on the concrete dock. I counted 116, but some are in different areas on the dock., not sure why

@@dsm9785 it must be the current map, try using google earth pro’s history feature to go back to june 2010

@@acb9896 was there a point to your comment? Or are you really that bored?

Isn't it? Especially considering those people survived the sinking but still died there in the dark. Poor bastards.

Sad I agree, but why didn't they use the submarine pod capable of holding 100 peeps. Or Escape from the aft hatch a few at a time. 300 feet is semi survivable. Yes the cold water will eventually take its toll, yet no one escaped. God Bless Submariners.

Haha

Neo-Cons like Victoria Nuland and her husband Robert Kagan made everything wrong

3 out 4 Poles 😳

For this mission, hopefully nothing.

If it wasn’t for the Germans those subs would still be rusting away in the harbor.

Yup Bremerton I've been there I seen the rusty hulks of subs being cut up. Bremerton is where subs go to die.

Yeah man, but steel and salt water are not a durable mix. Doesn't matter to me - i'll be dead by then, and I have no kids. Saldy, other people do.

@@geomodelrailroader did you work there? I used to be a machinist there. Shop 31, building 431. I was lucky to never be loaned out to the cut-ups like some other shops were when things were slow. I did mainly prop shafts and heavy tool so things were always busy other than being loaned out to the prop shop once for a few months. It was interesting to watch the progress of the subs being cut in a drydock on one side of my shop, and then looking into the drydock on the other side where the opposite was happening and we were doing D5 conversions or making the Ohio slightly "more better".😁👍

No blackouts here in Cali…take a sip of Fukushima water and calm down

@@farzad6908 Get me a nice glass of water and watch me drink it. The fact you think the water is the dangerous part shows everyone here how little you know about American designed pressurized water reactors.

Maybe she caught wind that they were filming, but I like to think she just always dresses up for work

One thing I've always admired about Russia or the soviets is how they don't seem to discriminate against women doing certain things. They also don't make a huge stink about a man being better it's just obvious in some roles and theres some roles even military roles women are better. I could be completely wrong but they dont seem to have the annoying feminist nonsense because it seems like women are included if they can perform.

She probably gets paid peanuts and thats likely one of the few items in her wardrobe, doesnt have anything else to wear on that particular day

Yeah I thought that was cool

@@forreststrong797 I saw a doc abt this black professional woman that lives in Russia and she talked abt how great she felt in a country where racism for her and many more black ppl was not an issue

I think they have gone past their service life. I certainly wouldn't trust in them.

@@Iaintwoke Well, the fuel is obviously still effective, considering the half-life of the rad materials.

@@lesliedeana5142 not really. I'm no expert but there's a reason that we refuel our subs and carriers from time to time.

No money in peace

@@LongHaulTrucker4Life Lots of money in peace, if you know how to take advantage of it. The US and Europe had a large "peace dividend" - allowing a lot of money to be spent on other things. Putin, who has the training you'd expect of a former KGB middle manager, has no idea, perhaps less interest, in growing his country peacefully. Russia, with its resources, with its technological and pedagogical heritage, should easily be 2 to 3 times as wealthy as it is, perhaps even more. But KGB training taught Putin how to suppress his own people, and how to undermine other countries, but he knows almost nothing about economics or development. His ruling clique is made up of siloviki - security people. They're the same as him, plus or minus. People have understood the issue in the video for 30+ years. The US in 1991 very much desired the USSR to stay together for just this reason - to avoid nuclear proliferation. I knew someone who, in the early-mid 1990s, worked for one of the US weapons labs. He was involved in work that involved the US military, scientists, etc, all concerned with ensuring Soviet weapons didn't fall into bad hands. The nightmare scenario was a corrupt former Soviet general or similar selling this stuff to bad guys. Russia has plenty of money. It can afford to do this work - it doesn't want to, at least not by itself, because it's expensive. It doesn't do anything for Russia's greater glory, it doesn't make Russia look good - in fact, it just emphasizes the fact that Russia, to a significant degree, sits within the wreckage of a bygone empire.

These chicken-little-syndrome-causing over-the-top alarmists will be the end of us because someday we will really need to hear the alarm and we'll ignore it. That is the "chilling" part.

So chilling I needed a winter coat

Think of all the knowledge that was gained for humanity that can be applied to future endeavors like space. Human advancement isn't a zero sum game.

judging by satellite imagery on google maps, it should be done and the site they are placed on is almost completely filled with those big submarine sections along with what looks like some big hydrogen bombs by the outer fencing in the south-west of the site. could also be that google edited out all the ones left in the waters around the fjord

That is true

They have to be from nato and Russia is clearly not

Personally, I'm not even a fan of being in them while they're in drydock. Not my first choice of profession, for sure.

I refurbished the Blue Submarine sign on I 95 in Groton. Yeah it was in a shambles. rust all over around it edges. The sign is still there. Maybe they made another who knows.

There is no body

@@Elixir_Sullivan Not exactly at 24 49, take a look at the center, when the camera goes down.

@24:51 you mean? Google pareidolia. I believe you've had a case of pareidolia. It looks like some pipes valves and just metal wreckage overlapping in depth offering the brain that opportunity to try to rationalize what is seeing.

@@will891410 I see something but I can't confirm it as being a body

@@Elixir_Sullivan Pause it at 24:52, down to the center, there is a face.

We chop them up the same way in Bremerton, WA for example. Then barge the reactors down the coast and up the Columbia River.

Same with any comments on RU-vid. Sadly.

Agree, but the world also needs A LOT OF THINGS!!

Wow I couldn't imagine what that would be like just thinking about it gives me the Willy's

hey, that's what we all are now, according to the 1%club. these days, anyone not worth 10millon or more is not . and that includes you and me.. according to George Carlin.

No westerner could go on operating Soviet sub.. You former Soviet Navy?

With permission from Universal Studios for the Movie Red October. LOL

It's not impossible to visit one. There was a decomissioned Foxtrot sold to a Finnish businessman. He had it towed it to Finland and marketed it as a tourist attraction. It can't be the only one submarine museum/exhibition. Nuclear submarines are different story, of course.

Yep. They are so advanced that they cut with welders. Maybe they bond metal together with carbon-arcs and stuff also. 🤣 (on a side note, I read a comment from somebody a while back who was trying to be sarcastic and madea joke about using dynamite to weld metals together. It was ironic because I use to work in a place where we used explosion bonded materials. We literally had plates of dissimilar metals, titanium and stainless steel for example, that were bonded together by using explosives. It's neat to have material that is say 4" thick and one side is 2" of titanium and the other is 2" of aluminum, and they are so well "welded" together that they are hermetically sealed. We used the material to make ultra high vacuum chambers and other cool stuff for NASA, CERN, SPACE X, Los Alamos National Labs, etc. It's one of the coolest materials I've ever machined or fabbed.)

I doubt if there was any heavy water used in the Kursk reactors.

Well you go in there, you scrape up some loose nuclear stuff off the floor, put it in a box, and light the fuse.....Wile E. Coyote style.

Why? That waste is perfect to mix in with some tnt and detonate in the middle of a city if you’re a terrorist…

I know, because there's no such thing as nuclear waste or some crazy terrorist organization that would love to get their hands on it to make a primitive radioactive bomb. Now I roll my eyes at you.

@@PorkyHontas Dumbest most naive comment ever.... grow up.

@@JamesSmith-fz7qk I know, because you're an idiot if you think nuclear waste and the possibility of a dirty bomb being created due to the proliferation of it is such an eye rolling joke.

Of course not. Why let fact get in the way of a 'good' story.

Agreed

i can only hope so

that one is not nuclear

Do you know what it is called? Thanks

@@mikeconklin5616 its U-475 Black Widow, they used this sub for the movie black sea with Jude law

Yep. When left to their own devices, without expertise and financial aid from other countries, their process of recycling these old boats is a different story entirely.

That's a cool idea...👍

The reactors are low power, under a tenth the minimum economical size, and they require very enriched and hugely expensive fuel rods or plates. Not feasible.
