Typhoon-class submarines were the biggest submarines to ever patrol the oceans. But they were not this big by choice. The Soviets had no option but to make these monstrous subs just so that they could compete with their rival, the United States ... but the reason, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

The typhoon wasn't much bigger than the Ohio class. It was 5 meters longer and 10 meters wider but both carried the same number, 20, of SLBM(Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles). It was bigger due to the double pressure hull design that allowed it to go twice as deep as an Ohio class, at least on paper.

As an American, I'm almost _obligated_ to sneer at some Soviet designs, but as an engineering fanboy, I too am sad to see some of these phenomenal machines go by the wayside. The crazy war machines perhaps just a bit less so, mostly due to the potential for mutual annihilation that they represented, but vehicles like the Kharkovchanka were always absolutely fascinating to me. Sure, the Soviets had a history of half-assing some of their designs (funding being the primary problem, especially after their war with Afghanistan), but like the aforementioned Kharkovchanka, there were some legitimate miracles of engineering too that definitely deserve the respect of nut-and-bolt enthusiasts everywhere.

@@ElonMuskTheOne You don't know what you are talking about. First of all Dmitry Donkoy was indeed Russian Grand Duke of Vladimir and in theory (very much in theory though) he had a claim to all of Medieval Russia (not to confuse with modern Russia) especially since head of all Russian Orthodox church from Lvov to Novgorod was permanent resident of Moscow by this point. Something like situation in 13th century France and counts of Ile De France. Now he really had power mostly in North Eastern Russia which was not "Muscovy". "Muscovy" in turn was rather short lived Western term for Russia (already modern version of it instead of Medieval) and for a state, not a region. And then at last Moscow consolidated its rule over Novgorod, Pskov and northern Russia by the end of 15th century.

Thanks for doing this video. My father was Commander of TK-17 for quite a while. The space in between the hulls were part of the ballast system, which meant the missile space was wet. This was good if there was ever a situation where the missiles caught fire. The bright side of the decommissioning is that one of the Akulas will most likely become a museum ship! I spent a good portion of my formative years watching these subs and other SSBNs go in and out of Polyarny. My mother and I were allowed on board TK-17 while she was in port a few times, these boats are very well equipped. It's funny you mention Kursk, I was 14 when that happened and my father was partaking in that exercise in the Barents. I don't talk to him much anymore, but he never spoke of the incident. I don't miss Murmansk though, fuck that place.

Russia (as well as the former USSR) routinely dump nuclear reactors (many still fully fueled) in shallow water in a designated area off of the Kola peninsula. The two most spectacular ones are the original reactor from the K-19, the other was when they used high explosives to cut the entire reactor compartment out of one of their ice breakers, although in that case it appears that the reactor wasn't the issue, it's was some form of lack of training of the crew that lead to the compartment being so irradiated that they couldn't decontaminate it. So they dropped it out of the bottom of the ship and built a new one for it.

Russians building big things is a bit of a theme. It reminds me of a (very) old Sony commercial, where their new Video 8 system (I told you it was old) is presented to the UN General Assembly as the new world standard, because it's much smaller. The Russians protest: "Nyet! Russian video big!" and they have this truly enormous VCR with them. But they entire assembly gets up and applauds Sony's new system, while the Russians walk off, cursing.

Interesting! The Typhoon's are certainly impressive in the size. Its a shame they seem to have only been actively deployed in/under the Artic, as that would seem to make it much harder for the US Navy Poseidon's to get a good handle on them regardless of their apparently louder acoustic signature, (under the ice or not) especially as these aircraft have only been on active duty since around April 2019 and perhaps only until recently been attached to the 6th Fleet, which operates out of the Mediterranean Sea. Most of all though, all but one of the Typhoon class were scrapped well before 2019. Has there been good, honest information presented in this YT doc'?

The engineers had the best ideas at the least, unfortunately the actual people running the navy did not, as shown by the fact that they'd shut down the reactor pumps which can be quite a dicey proposition. One of the more common relevant sayings about Russian hardware nowadays is that they're most effective in the hands of everybody else except the Russians, as demonstrated so succinctly by the stark difference between the Russian-run Admiral Kuznetsov and its Chinese-run sister ship the Liaoning, where the latter ship had none of the issues the former ship had despite being the same ship class.
