Delta IV Sub Brief

[@SubBrief]

Important note: This was uploaded on Public Library internet. It was very low bandwidth public access internet during the COVID lockdown and required I reduce file size. This is why there are a lot of low resolution artifacts. Rural Internet in the United States needs to be addressed by Congress and funded as a utility.

Rural internet also sucks in Argentina haha. Cheers Jive, and still waiting for k 129 vid, with you telling us all gossips you can about the topic lol.

[@borutprvinsek7652]

Aaron, I agree with you. The FTTH and decent QoS is a must nowdays for normal life, covid prooved this even more. But just for an illustration, in Germany, where I am from, there are still a lot of grey spots with only analog POTS and Adsl (not 2+), because the copper wires are 50+years old with a lot of unsymetry in impedance. They are constantly replacing the cables and building Outdoor DSL points, but in a not sufficient rate. It will take years to cover most of the state. Or as we say, eather you have a great view and pristine nature or you have decent Internet :)

Splendid analysis sir! Regarding LosShark :-) ( that is actually quite funny)- it should be written as Lo-Sha-Rik - That is a cartoon character from a soviet cartoon with the same name- a horse made of balloons - that is why that submarine is called Losharik- it's pressure hall is made of spheres.

Wonderful video! I am very impressed with the amount of information you have provided. The amount of your research effort is so very evident ! Thank you !! Great job !!!

[@OrataKopata]

Just to mention - K-51 «Имени XXVI съезда КПСС», or "In the name of the 26th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union"...Rolles off the tongue, doesn't it? Imagine giving targets and missile launch authorization in the heat of an eventual nuclear war...This type of flamboyant names were the real nuclear deterrent. Anyway, pardon my "humor", later, in 1999 the now Russian Navy rename it - K-51 Verkhoturye (Верхотуре) after the historic town with the same name, as you mentioned. Cheers. Long time listener, first time caller. Your content is close to priceless and much enjoyed. To this day I don't know why post-Soviet Russia, or even the countries of the former Warsaw Pact can't, won't or refuse to make documentaries of this kind. Even if we still have some weird pride of what our nations/armed forces were, in 5-10 years, even the hardcore past-timers will start to forget or be a laughing stock for the millenials. Sorry, I'm sliding down the memory lane, forgive me the chatter. To finally wrap it - the only video of "Shield 84", the Warsaw Pact excersise incuding 60 thousand soldiers from seven countries I was able to find...EVER, is uploaded by "VHÚ MOVIES". Only in Czech, but the video speaks of itself.

[@SurvivethePoleShift]

Yulian....G'Day Mate from the Land Downunder.....I would like to relate to you the story of the bravest thing I did during the Cold War.... Location The Skagerak [inbound to Copenhagen] A surfaced Australian Oberon Class Boat, the latest [and last] Oberon out of the British Dockyards....this one is HMAS OTAMA [Queensland Aboriginal Dialect meaning Dolphin] [p.s I am a Queenslander too]....anyway, there we were, a small group of us were standing up forward, near the Dome at the Bows, it was about 14:00 or so...pale blue sky and biting wind [to an Aussie].....So coming outbound from the Baltic in the outbound land no more than 120 meters away, is a small Russian Freighter, She's not very big probably only 10,000 tons or so.... but a surfaced Aussie Boat is rarely seen in those waters, so the OOW and Lookout and I think the Captain too, were all out on the Port Bridgewing with binoculars raised looking at us........We have a kind of weird thing we do.....[for instance, we would do this to an opposing football team from a different town]......but I dropped my trollies [pants] bent over and gave them a "browneye" [you know, where you pull the cheeks of yr bum apart].....they laughed out loud and waved to us God love em....that was August 1978. I fucking LIKE YOU Russians!!!!! Stay Safe. [and I Salute you Tovarich!] All the best from Queensland, Oz!

[@OrataKopata]

@@SurvivethePoleShift You, Sir have single handedly killed what for a while appeared to be a nice productive afternoon. First things first - I cannot stop chuckling at the mental picture you've put in my head. The clear blue sky, the dark steel of the hull, the white uniforms...and the brown eye... But to be sincere, from the perspective of a person, who got his first glimpse of Western culture from bootleg VHS tapes, still considering Mr. Mel Gibson as an Aussie, that would be THE most Australian thing imaginable. With all due resect. Second - Your "maritime incident" got my interest... But the 2nd, 3rd and so on hits on the search engine while asking about HMAS OTAMA, well, that definitely grabbed my attention. You, Sir, and I'm quoting a line from "Destroy the Kentucky", are one of the "scary men"... And I feel priviliged to comunicate with one of the actually acting....actors back in the days. And that is not just gaslighting bullcrap, because in my opinion the life of the grunt is forever and wherever the same...USA, USSR, Warsaw Pact, NATO, Western Alliance, Eastern Block, Moon Base, Mars Colonies...Its - get up, run, dig, shoot, eat, dig, sleep . Arty-boys - still the same - load, drive, fire, clean. And then there are "the scary men"... Some of them locked down in nuke silos, some of them covertly sparking an unrest in enemy state, some of them doing some secret spy-ops, across the seas, around the globe in one the best boats at the time... And now its for me and my imagination to fill the blanks between your hilarious encounter and the few articles and pictures of your service history. And in the end I must point something, not so important, but there are alaways comrades lurking to see if we do the right thing. I'm not Russian, still commie, tough. Bulgaria, or as we used to flatter ourselves - "Soviet Union's little brother". Kind of cringey. During the Cold War we've operated mainly in the Black Sea. the chance you had crossed a course with a bulgarian sub is...Well I do not know. Becaus "its classified", ain't it? :) Arround the time of your service (I assume) we operated four Romeo-class subs. Sizewise and crew-wise pretty close I think. And the point of me saying such a thing is that our last (last EVER unfortunatelly) sub - "Slava" had very similar fate post decommission as HMAS OTAMA. Our was saved by the heroic work done by members of the past crews... Long story short, С-84 "Слава" of the 8 Separate Submarine Division of Bulgarian Navy is now a museum . If, by chance, we survive the current events, and by another chance you happen to travel around Europe, the museum is near our "Black Sea Capital" - Varna, they've got a decent airport, decent sightseeing historic and other locations for the Wife, decent beaches for the kids, and relatively decent Cold War Era Romeo-class attack sub, that may or may not at some point got a passive signal by or from HMAS OTAMA...Who knows... I still haven't got the...opportunity to visit, but hey, there are plenty of army and air force museums in walking distance from me, and not 6 hours long drive on our glorious twisted hightways. If you search for "Bulgaria's Last Submarine "Slava" [Музей Подводница Слава]' - there is a..decent video about the museum, and its in English! Cheers, Sir. It was a good afternoon for me, not gonna lie. Thank you. Stay Safe.

[@Josh-hr5mc]

Question... Referring to submarines. Is there a fine line between sensitive security information (SSI) and what would be considered classified vs top secret, etc? How do you know as times goes on. Like when a sub is retired, is that info accessible to the public or if a submarine is modernized, are the older components ok to talk about. Just curious on this topic since you aren't in the Navy anymore, how do you know what's ok to say and what's not.

[@Oksobasically2]

Most vets default to what they could and couldnt talk about during their time in. Unless something government released comes to the public they dont talk about it if it was previously classified. For example, the uss nautilus museum (the ship itself welded to the pier) in groton ct doesnt permit visitors into the engineering spaces. This is to protect nnpi. (Naval Nuclear Propulsion Information) guarantee if you find an old nuc from that boat they still wouldnt open their mouth about it even though their ship is a museum now.

[@mor4y]

Feels like the first 'normal' video I've watched all week after being glued to live court coverage for days for hours on end! 👀 And it was worth watching! 😊 got to see a judge chew a prosecutor out harder and longer than a TV drama or film would ever have dared too. That poor guys video will be getting shown in law schools for years 🤣

@@Puchacz81 solely on what the jury will see? Self-defense on the major charges, he might catch a couple of minors though (much like one of the victims!) Having seen a wider slew of evidence than the jury will see? 100% innocent. The stitching together of the video timeline, rosenbaums state of mind, extra video.... I've not really seen *anything* to convince me otherwise, and I gave the prosecution a fair shake of the stick.... but they're acting so scummy 😣 hardly a advert for justice But who knows what a jury will do. Threats to the jury are widespread, people trying to take videos of them etc. The US Court system needs to find a way to square that circle 🤔

[@Puchacz81]

@@mor4y I was really dissapointed that Judge allow this grainy ass picture and video as a evidence. Without any corraboration and state could call Zeminski's to testify in court but they didn't. Just this fact blackpilled me heavily and such evidence should not be addmised in court. There is a limit with a technology and if your life hangs on the few pixels and interpretation of a rorschach picture we are heading in wrong direction. I hope that defense (coz they knew about this video before) have planted in the evidence direct rebuttal and this crap as a trap for a scum prosecutor to discredit him completly. But this is far fetch idea. Maybe pictures from Nathan Debruin? I personally also think that Kyle is fully innocent and i hope jury will see it as well and let him walk. Gun charge is out, Curfew as well so we will see.

[@peterjemas7613]

I love your content! Would you please consider making a video on the Typhoon? I'm very curious about how the hulls are connected, how crew transits through the 5 hulls, what you suspect protocol was for sealing the hulls during battle stations, even what you suspect the diameter of each hull is as I suspect they are each actually narrower and less spacious per hull then a traditionally laid out SSBN considering the beam is 25m but there is a lot of space between hulls, etc. Very curious on your perspective! In any case, thanks for all the great content and thank you for your service!

[@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXX]

Also there isn’t a lot of space between the hulls is missle silos and in the back there’s a third hull in the middle and they’re all touching side by side.

[@anthonystejan8492]

Thank you so much, big fan of your work and Thank you for your service, I love the ability of learning about these briefs. Did you make one on the Alfa/Lira fast attack submarine?

Hydrodynamicly does that missle hump on a otherwise circular hull hamper performance and stealthyness? Looks like putting an outboard on a Grand Banks trawler instead of a single or twin inboards, just looks off, hodgepodge if you will with that missile hump.

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

I didn't find a definitive answer, but folks say there is no difference at low speed, so why spend more metal?

[@gerritfrancis9444]

My favourite day of the month. The day I get to geek out about naval history.

[@Evan_Bell]

9000km range isn't absurd. The Trident II has been demonstrated in test flights with reduced payload (as it's deployed) out to 11,000km. The warheads (4x) for Shtil and Sineva are 800kt, not 100kt. Layner planned to use 10x 100kt warheads, but doesn't seem to have been put into service. Should add that along with that GLONASS upgrade in 1988, changes to the guidance package also allowed for depressed trajectories. The RV aeroshells were also upgraded to expand the reentry envelope for these shallower reentry angles. Last year, a Sineva, which is fundamentally the same missile as Shtil, demonstrated a 2,500km depressed flight from a Delta IV (Tula). This flight profile would allow the missiles to attack a significant portion of Europe from their port at Olenya Bay. The medium warheads are not the low yield warheads. The low yield warheads are referred to as light warheads. Neither of them are tactical. Regarding the low torpedo tube count, it's largely due to a shift through the 1980s of withdrawing SSBN patrols away from US coasts into more secure 'Bastions'; smaller areas of sea close to port (Barents and Laptev Seas, for the Delta IVs), defended by ASW destroyers. This doctrinal change was made possible by the R-29 series with its increased range.

[@--Dani]

Well you answered my question at the end of the video, that missile hump on a circular hull does not have adverse effects as far as detection or stealthyness, seems like an active sonar torpedo would hear the return off of that pretty much looking flat side where missile compartment is, maybe that would have been a better question, does active sonar see them better with the what looks to almost be 90⁰ curve on the top side? Great content along with the Naval News, as always, keep it up. Thanks 👍

[@buster105e]

it would make them have a higher target echo strength yes, but submarines very rarely go active and Deltas being bombers will trundle around very slowly so hydrodynamics doesn't matter as much as it would to an SSN

[@TeamRosenbusken]

Thanks for the Sub Brief

[@grantchallinor5263]

Surely "CPSU" at 4:59 (КПСС) would be the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and also, the submarine at 14:36 K-64 Podmoskovye (Подмосковье) is actually named after the Moscow region (or oblast) - not after the city.

Please do an analysis of "The Bloop"... There is actual hydrophone recordings of it on KZbin... To this day it's still a mystery of what caused it, but whatever it was traveled thousands of miles. Hope you read this...

[@paulkirby2761]

Did that large boxy missile deck cause the submarine problems in regards it's stealth ability and acoustic signature? Did that extra drag and lack of hydrodynamic shape cause some sort of noisy vibrations etc as it forced it's not so coefficient shaped way through water far less gracefully compared to smooth round torpedo shaped sub? I can see they've smoothed it out and blended it in, took the sharp vertical angles off it as best as they could but I can't help but feel all those different angles and various widths where the conning tower, missile deck and hull all blend together in a very turbulent looking way could only make a very iconic sort of signature as it passed through water. Also, with such a large oversized looking box on the back I have to wonder if the Delta was a purposeful design or if they took an existing submarine already in service and heavily modified it to fill the purpose of carrying these missiles? It just looks like a small sub that was modified to quickly and temporarily fill the role of a large missile carrier as a stop gap while bigger subs were being built for purpose such as the Oscar and Typhoon class were being designed and built. By comparison, the Oscar/2 class is a very smooth and clean hydrodynamic shape without any blocky appendages, albeit a very massive submarine.

There is nothing surprising in 9300km+ range. Liquid-fueled engines have better Isp, and thus more economical and give you better range and payload for the same mass. That's why most modern space rockets are liquid fueled, with solid fueled are haveing the role of boosters at liftup stages.

Subs haven't had deck guns since WW2 era... No need for them anymore. If you expose the sub in any kind of modern engagement, it can't stand up to any kind of missile attacks or the fast attack deck guns of other naval ships. They'd only be good against merchant ships and tankers.

Are they just incompetent or are those things that happen in other navies too? Over here in The Netherlands we never hear of incidents with our boats so i am wondering if the Russians are just incompetent (you would expect that, given the bungling during the Ukrainian war) any thoughts on this?

Might be means and methods, but if a sub was in a strong current, and the sub was stationary (ie using spinners) with the towed array being strung out behind it, would the towed array work?

Correct me if I am wrong, but didnt you say in the Delta III Sub Brief that BS-136 Orenburg was the mothership that docked with AS-31 Losharik after the fire?

Nice! I love your intelligent narrative. Is it possible for you to team up with Grim Reapers, who do simulations? They include all hardware, but have no subs? It makes their simulations somewhat unrealistic...They try their best, but we all know the "hidden" threat shadowing a fleet or coastline, is part of the game...Just a thought. They did a UK/US vs. China/Russia fleet battle...It was cool, and yes; Russia does get the first punch of a FULL anti-ship salvo...It looked cool in their simulator...It came down to Aegis to ensure termination, but some got through, and destroyed our newest ships? It came down to ramming, and 20, and 30 mm exploding shells...Crazy! I think your knowledge would help create a more realistic AI/human driven war game...

'Jones' went to work for the Queen of the Russias as an Admiral after running athwart the American Congress; with AMPLE Pay and Allowances, I may add.Continually Distinguished, and 'colorful', He was buried outside of Paris(at the time) until brought back by President Theodore Roosevelt aboard a Dreadnought & laid in a black marble sepulchre at Annapolis! with Full fanfare, and honors. Naval Service... Never been - a "job"; always been, a Vocation. TRADITION. SeaService. PRIDE. NAVY. Smpr IDEM. SmprFdls.

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

I can't imagine Russian Navy is allowed to employ a former US submariner, no matter how good. They'd rightfully suspect that his loyalty is first and forever to the USA.

[@aftp4i94]

I've met ex USN submariners who had joined the Australian Navy and were serving on Collins class subs.

[@craftpaint1644]

Russia doesn't accept foreign applications for either of their regular Army or Navy. I guess they'd make an exception for a designated "contractor."

Hey Jive Turkey I've got a question for above the layer - Can you tell us why fires breaking out on subs are so dangerous?? Maybe that's a dumb question but hey I thought I'd ask!

[@horusfalcon]

Fires on submarines are dangerous because they don't have to spread very far to render the entire boat uninhabitable. Oxygen in the air is required for a fire to burn, and the atmosphere inside the boat is the only source of that element. Everybody on a sub is on the damage control team - everybody responds to a fire casualty in one way or another. Everyone's life depends on everyone doing their job.

[@GeorgeNzioki-ls6nn]

Rus need to know current defense are Best on hie much of interceotoon of enemy attacks are imoekmented and nit how mucho firepower is orojected

[@KeyboardWarrior101st]

Not sure if you can answer this question but when you say their mission is to go hide, do they do that by staying as still as possible?

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

Slow mo, a few knots.

[@toddmetzger]

There is a new technique where the newer subs stay just a few feet below the ice. I've heard the noise of the ice masks the sounds of the boat.

[@GeorgeNzioki-ls6nn]

Does Russia have enough defenses oersunbky sufficient firnutself ?

[@MultiNacnud]

Is there any truth to the story (on an internet news channel, so take a pinch of salt) that the Norwegian Undersea Surveillance Network has had its cables cut . Location off the coast of Northern Norway.

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

Complete truth. And if you continue to disclose the existence of the top-secret Norwegian Undersea Surveillance Network, a Russian sub will cut the Internet cable to your house!

[@MultiNacnud]

@@vladimirdyuzhev Thank you for admitting it was a hostile and covert act by the Russians. However for giving the west that information the FSB will cut off more than your internet Vladimir.

Russia s naval defense just needs to knowbakm it has to ficus is protect it's other naval assets from attacks by UsbandbNati destroyers or assets in of other kinds as aierial anti sun and anti shio

Russia needs to know the current best defense is based on hie many threat s are quemched by the assets especially as thise naesed on imminent threat as musises interceotiion that render the asset vulnerable to attack by enemy assets

Information about submarines is nice but listen to Aaron mispronounce russian names is golden!

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

Yeah) Looks like Losshark is now the agreed-upon name for Losharik :) Also, I'm sure Aaron would be surprised that Podmoskovye is not Moscow, but "Moscow Suburbs" :) That boat is Suburban, but underwater, you see.

I think Russia needs mire Khai nbr cruises subsny and warships to match Us warships capabilities

[@horusfalcon]

Verkhoturye (Верхоту́рье) would be pronounced more like "Vair-ko-tour-yeh", with the accent on the third syllable. (The "x" character is pronounced more like an aspirated hard "k"). My Russki is rusty, so I'd love to hear from any Russians in the comments as to how close I got. As I read it, the Layner would appear as 21 separate incoming warheads where there are actually nine live warheads and twelve decoys. "Bryansk" (Брянск) would be more like "Br-yahnsk" or "Brahnsk". I would imagine the Eastern Orthodox Church would take exception to being characterized as a "cult". Interesting history.

[@QuadroVF]

Pretty close, it goes as "Ver-ho-tour-ye". "Verh" means "Up", "Tura" is a river's name and "ye" is like a place indication, so it literally means "the Tura's (river) upper aria".

[@--Dani]

At least K-84 didnt kill the crew with the anti fire system, too bad the sub burned, well maybe not as those missiles are probably targeted somewhere near me. I'm sure Chicago is on the target list, I live close enough.

[@vladimirdyuzhev]

Nobody targets Chicago except Chicago's own gangs.

[@scytales2548]

The fire took place in dry-dock during modernization, not underway.
