[@hibob841]

It's worth noting that diesel-electric subs aren't entirely inferior; there are good reasons to run them aside from economy or lack of technology. The biggest advantage is that they can be effectively 100% silent if they are stationary, whereas a nuclear boat will always make _some_ amount of noise because it has to run pumps to cool the reactor. The latest U.S. and Russian nuclear boats _may_ be quiet enough to render this distinction almost academic, but it's still there. There's also some minimum practical size and weight for a naval reactor, which dictates a minimum displacement for nuclear boats. The larger the hull, the less effectively it can operate in shallower waters and the larger target it makes for active sonar. Of course, a diesel-electric boat's underwater endurance is such that your adversaries will generally know where they are within a certain radius; everyone knows where the boat is when it's surfaced. You can think of diesel-electric submarines somewhat like a mobile minefield. Air-independent propulsion (AIP) closes that gap significantly; these boats are potentially just as quiet as standard diesel boats, but have enough underwater endurance to make them difficult to track. During multiple NATO exercises, the Swedish 'Gotland' class has famously been able to penetrate U.S. carrier groups multiple times, undetected. This is somewhat terrifying since these boats, though technologically advanced, are quite cheap-on the order of $100M, or a bit less than an F-35.

You forgot to mention that the very modern German submarines have also AIP. And you could have explained that AIP usually or actually always means that pure oxygen is carried in pressure vessels and converted into electricity with a fuel in a very quiet process (for the Sweden with a Stirling engine that runs on diesel and for the Germans with a hydrogen fuel cell). So it's independent from air not oxygen, that's what the A in AIP stands for. But besides this minute technical details it was once again a wonderful video, which I enjoyed watching.

[@superpintotube]

The portuguese and greek navy, also have German made submarines with AIP

[@perrablerra]

@@superpintotube Swedish submarines also have AIP. In 2004, America borrowed one of them to practice against that type of submarine, but the Swedish submarine always managed to fool the shirt of the Americans and managed to sink both submarines and aircraft carriers (simulated attacks, of course). So these are definitely to be reckoned with. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Cwm2SKn7OHfNk

China's diesel submarines are not "older", majority are Yuan class build in the 2010s and use air independence propulsion(similarly to latest European or japanese diesels) which makes them have longer endurance then older diesels. They are extremely quiet and hard to track and play a crucial role in access denial

[@lzh4950]

Yes, the HSwMS Gotland was leased by the US government to test the ASW capabilities of a carrier strike group. The Gotland successfully evaded the US subs and sonars and took some photos of the hull of the USS Ronald Reagan, a aircraft carrier, which counted as sinking it. This was between 2005-2006. The German Uboot U24 did the "sink" the carrier USS Enterprise in 2001. But it has to be noted, that you can't easily sink an aircraft carrier and both cases where by friendly forces, so the US Navy has probably improved their ASW capabilities.

Johnny- Rockets are a propulsion method/unguided weapon, missiles are guided and use either a rocket engine or a jet engine. The definitions of all these military terms can get a bit tough to keep track of, but it's very important to keep them straight. I've heard journalists refer to the M2 Bradley as a tank, when it very, very much isn't. A bradley doesn't stand a chance against basically any tank ever made, it's made to stop up to .50 cal weapons, shrapnel, maybe small mortar rounds, and it has a 25mm autocannon. The M1 Abrahams CAN stand up to a lot of tank guns, anti-tank missiles, etc

[@GiveBackAll]

Just curious- how do you define a tank? The Bradley is as much a tank as the first vehicles that earned the name in WW1.

[@Julianna.Domina]

@@GiveBackAll A tank is a tracked vehicle with heavy armor and a single-firing, large caliber gun, made for direct fire engagements against other armored vehicles or in defense of infantry. The Bradley is tracked and is meant for direct fire engagements, but it has an automatic firing small caliber cannon, and it cannot be relied on to take out anything with any real level of armor. Its primary purpose is also to carry infantry into combat, whereas a tank is meant to just come in and blow you things that need a big gun.

[@naders1771]

*Abrams

[@GiveBackAll]

@@Julianna.Domina I was never in armor, but I have fired both the Bradley and the M1 and I have studied military history. The original definition of a tank was something that was impervious to small arms fire. Tanks have never been able to withstand artillery, and the primary purpose of a tank is to be superior to unarmored infantry or vehicles. For taking out tanks the US Military relies mostly on artillery and missiles, not just tanks. So I don't know where you are getting your definition from.

Johnny first of all love your reporting and shows, however as a prior U.S. Navy submariner I must inform you that we process sea water to drinking water through a evaporator which seperates it from the salt. It is then condensed into a collection tank and the brine (salt) is flushed overboard. The reactor does power all functions on the submarine but all other systems are independent of it. Don't want to drink radiated water brother.

So they need to buy them, but submarines them selves can't come that long was. Also Iran needs to somehow transport submarine over the land to Caspian Sea, how they do this? Or the submarine comes in part and assembled on the spot? How the submarine can be transported to another shore quickly in the case of attack on another shore? Same goes to Israel, how they transfer submarines between their 2 sea accesses, do they send them under the Suez canal or over the land? Also Russia, I assume the main submarine fleet is next to Pacific Ocean which is miles away from probably the place subs get produced.

Great video 👍 A couple of things to add up a little: - The modern attack-submarines like the Los Angeles class can easily shoot nukes, too.

Just do the basic physics on that and you will realise that an nuke can`t move enough water for an Tsunami. The deeper it detonates, the more pressure it needs to overcome. So calm down, don`t get caught by your fears of it 😉
