![]() ![]() The sail and sail guard have a reinforced rounded cover for ice-breaking. The retractable systems include two periscopes (one for the commander and one for general use), radio sextant, radar, radio communications, navigation and direction-finder masts. The nose horizontal hydroplanes are in the bow section and are retractable into the hull. It has an advanced stern fin with horizontal hydroplane fitted after the screws. The submarine's design includes features to enable it to both travel under ice and for ice-breaking. A protected module, comprising the main control room and electronic equipment compartment, is arranged behind the missile silos above the main hulls in a centerplane under the guard of retractable devices. The pressure hulls, the centerplane and the torpedo compartment are made of titanium and the outer light hull is made of steel. Both hulls and all compartments are connected by transitions. The missile compartment is arranged in the upper part of the bow between the pressure hulls. The pressure hulls are arranged parallel to each other and symmetrical to a centerplane. The submarine has two separate pressure hulls with a diameter of 7.2 m each, five inner habitable hulls and 19 compartments. The design of the Typhoon submarine is multi-hulled and bears resemblance to a catamaran. Each submarine is capable of carrying twenty long-range ballistic missiles with up to 200 nuclear warheads that were once aimed at the United States. The Typhoon is the worlds largest submarine and was one of the most feared weapons of the Cold War. They are able to do so tied up at their docks. ![]() These submarines do not have to submerge or go to sea to launch their long-range missiles. = Shark)ĭuring the Cold War the Typhoon submarines prowled the waters of the North Atlantic. ![]() And the massive spy sub, and Poseidon related classes, fulfill roles which are unique to the Russian Navy.Hehe- someone should record the Hunt For Red October theme and add a bit as a victory wave It is seen as less efficient, but equally each type can be better suited to its intended role. So many different classes of submarines has pros and cons. Unlike the Yasen Class they have to be put in the torpedo room, so only a few can be carried. The latest versions can launch Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles. The Kilo Class goes back to the 1980s, but improved models are still being built. In the future these boats may have Air Independent Power (AIP) like Sweden and other nations'. Unlike the America, Russia still values having a large number of smaller and cheaper non-nuclear boats in its ranks. This is the latest generation of non-nuclear submarine built for the Russian Navy. ![]() And the smaller Zircon anti-ship missiles can travel at hypersonic speeds. The larger Oniks is a supersonic missile which is optimized against ships but can also hit land targets. Kalibr is a land-attack missile with a very long range, generally equivalent to the U.S. They are armed with three types of cruise missile which can be loaded in combinations. Yasen-M Class Cruise Missile SubmarinesĪ powerful cruise-missile armed submarine, the Yasen class has a reputation for stealthiness. ![]()
