Life Inside World’s Largest 75.000 h.p. Icebreaker in Middle of the Arctic

[@KonstantinSaranskiy]

Hello everyone. I had been working on Yamal icebreaker for 4 years as AB and I must to say that only 80% of information in this video is truth. Yes, these icebreakers have the nuclear power plants, but they use different type of Uranus, not for naval purposes, it is impossible to use in such way. As to the power- they are very very powerful beasts - go through the 2m ice fields with loaded ships on tug - very impressive sight. They are real kings of Arctic.

[@jeffryan7439]

What kind of Uranus does it have?, do you need a mirror to see it?

[@jpmtlhead39]

This russian icebreakers are massive. And dont forget that they are Nuclear Powered. What makes an huge diference. They are Huge Beasts.

[@gk2282]

It's strange to see someone mentions Russia in this madness. Russia is a land of wonderful people, techniques and inventions.

[@abstracting6411]

[@oldskoolordie]

Western media trying to rewrite history to suit an agenda.

[@davidkraus5195]

Wonderful people who routinely threaten the rest of the world with nuclear annihilation and treat their neighbours like subjects. When they ruled eastern europe, they forced upon us their great techniques and inventions and when they finally left, we abandoned most of them, because y'know, western inventions dont break nearly as often.

[@rasvatissi580]

80% breakers of the whole world is designed in finland, and 60% of them are built also. Most of the russian fleet is designed and also built in helsinki shipyard. They have finnish Wärtsilä engines and or their own nuclear reactor

[@AliAli-et7zy]

​@@rasvatissi580Lol you must be kidding right? Russia started making nuclear icebreakers in 50s, Soviet times. First nuclear icebreaker in the world is also built by USSR named "Lenin" in 1957 and nearly all of the current Russian nuclear icebreakers are built by Russia itself in Russian shipyards such as Zvezda, Vladivostok(Dalzavod), Murmansk shipyards. The only icebreakers built by Finland were two slightly smaller shallow-draught icebreakers from Wärtsilä Marine Helsinki Shipyard in Finland and it was in Soviet times. Because Soviet "Arktik" class icebreakers were too big to operate in the shallow coastal deltas. The rest of the icebreakers are built by Russia itself. And Russia has historically been the only country to build and operate nuclear-powered icebreakers. Recently, more countries want to build nuclear powered icebreakers such as China announced plans that it would build a nuclear-powered icebreaker similar to the Russian Project 22220. As of 2023, construction on this nuclear icebreaker has not started

50 knots is not 28 kmh. 50 knots is 92.6 kmh, which I guarantee you that ship is not capable in clear waters.

[@jamesblonde2271]

[@lampievdnest]

Hahahahahahaha, 30knts more, then most single prop aircraft will have enough speed to takeoff.

[@BrendonHoppy]

15 knots is 28kmh +/-

[@cocvillage5283]

Its 28 knots ca. 50 kph

[@SuperCrowHeart]

That notch isn't for towing. It's so the second ship can add power to the breaker. The whole point of the prow of the breaker is to ride up onto the ice and it's weight breaks the ice. A second ship adding its HP to the breaker makes it slide up onto the ice easier. If you don't know why something is how it is don't just make up something.

[@felixcat9318]

I was genuinely excited when you said that this nuclear icebreaker took fare paying passengers on her voyages... But then you said the costs and my hopes melted. To be able to see the technical aspects of this vessel in operation would be fantastic! When I see cruise liners I am only interested in their technical sections, which I would love to see in operation. Nothing else about cruise liners interests me, I am far more interested in seeing the desalination plant operation than in the vessels passenger entertainment features.

[@tomascernak6112]

Learn Russian, make some friends in Rosatom, and it can be significantly less. I paid 50 000 RUB, which was like 1000 USD at that time. For 2 week long trip. Cheaper than 2 weeks in Alps. Of course, you will get crew cabin, which is equal to cheapest cabin for tourists. But at least you are among cheerful and honest people (Russian crew), not western snobs in tourist section.

[@tomascernak6112]

And again that "can not operate in Tropical waters" myth. Of course they can, with lowered efficiency and total power output. But they can. But it will be unpleasant for people on board, because these Icebreakers do not have Air conditioning, only heating. For obvious reasons.

[@mnewm21]

@@patman0250 I have done it as well on the very ship they are talking about 50 Yrs of Victory. With Quark back in 2012 we sailed around Antarctica from Ushuaia past the bottom of Australia to Cape town over 5 weeks I think it was, it cost me in a triple birth cabin about $22000 back then. There was one family on board who was actually circumnavigating the world in a North South North fashion on the trip and that trip was over $140,000 per person for his family of 4! I am unsure how they can say that the ship can't navigate the tropical waters as it would have had to, to get to the southern hemisphere and Antarctica so not sure of thatt and it wasn't mentioned in the briefings we had on the trip?

[@JohnHill-k6p]

They don’t pull it across the north pole, lol they go through ice in Rivers and lakes and offshore, but they don’t purposely wander around looking for the thickest ice. They look for the shortest easiest possible route. And the way an icebreaker breaks ice is not by ramming into it, the way the bow is built it rides up onto the ice, and then the weight of the vessel crushes down and breaks the ice. No matter how cold it is the ice does not freeze behind the vessel for quite some time. What happens is the ice is blown by wind and currents and fills in the track. Icebreakers no matter how big or no matter how powerful they are never in the ice exceed 8 kn and in thick ice it can be as slow as one knot or less because you have to back up and go ahead that’s why rarely do you take and put the vessel your escortingconnected directly to your ship because you wouldn’t be able to back down. And how do I know this because I spent many years aboard Coast Guard icebreakers breaking ice on the great lakes and going on north trips and south trips.

there should be no reason for a nuclear propulsion plant to be designed to only operate in cold water (near 32F), and not anywhere from 32 to 80F. If the design spec is 75,000 shp in 32F water, then it might be only 60,000 in warm water.

Yamal ranks only at the 5th rank. 4th, Yamal's speed is NOT 15 knots, but 20.6 knots 5th, Starting at 5 minutes, you keep mixing the Yamal and the 50-year victory... 6th, 50 knots speed??? really? REALLY? LOL There are no excuses for your mistakes since all the info is easily found on the web. 1. Aektika (Russia) 570 feet long 2. Sibir (Russia) 568 feet long 3.
