The 2 Polish trawlers that got their array stolen was during the cold war. The british sub Conquerror had an attachment for spec ops and cut the array in such a way that it would look like it snagged on something and ripped off. The array swipe was to see how advanced the new soviet tech was, It turned out to be acopy of an american array that russia got info on from the Walker spy ring.
Got damn John Walker, Man..
@@JBurris ikr traitors really make my blood boil
@@JBurris His brother Arthur was responsible for that. A LtCdr at Norfolk ASW training center. He dropped "Dog turds" into the fresh concrete of the new acoustic training building. Lithium powered sensors that relayed to a repeater on the street.
Wasn't the HMS Conqueror the sub that sank the ARA General Belgrano during the Falklands war?
Re: Submariners going to space. LTCDR Kayla Barron was a submarine qualified division officer aboard the USS Maine before she was selected to be an astronaut in 2017. Stephen Bowen is also a submarine qualified officer turned astronaut in 2000.
I would say sub-qual'd personnel do make good candidates to go into space as space ship crew, not only because of systems familiarity, but because they can stand being in an enclosed space with no windows. I can see certain practices of sub crew carrying over to space crew, like the process to be sub-qual'd.
If you can't fly then you're a tourist and don't deserve to be called an Astronaut. My harsh opinion but anyone who can't fly the ship is just dead weight in an emergency.
âIf youâre not driving the boat youâre not a submariner.â
Many Air Force & Navy planes have crew members who are not the pilot but are in mission command of the aircraft. Are they tourists? The Looking Glass is a prime example of this.
@@IDNeon357 spoken like my boss, a former EP-3 naval aviator. He refers to the backend mission crew as self loading baggage. đ
Unbiased reporting. Not a big fan of Russia, but I still like it when people are able to be pragmatic and report facts the way they are. Will sub and hope that this channel can continue to educate!:)
Top notch content. This is what I appreciate you for. Taking on what adversary has and giving them respect for what they do right. This is what world needs more of, to survive.
The animated background makes your Slides look less professional. Not saying it looks bad but it doesnât fit. Although it has an underwater theme.
Love your fantastic channel and the way you present. Great work .
I like the webcam but this background is a bit distracting, kind of feel like we are under the sea in Pandora (Avatar) đ
At 34:00 are the Gapard (Akula 3) on the left and Akula 2 on the right. Akula 2 has towed sonar cable spoon on top of the rear stabilizer, while Akula 3âs inside the hull. Thus lack of the bubble
Happy 2023 Aaron! Can't believe I started by watching your Cold Waters videos all those years ago. You're an asset to the online community if they want to learn things about current events from a military perspective. Thanks for keeping the channel(s) of communication open.
If you want to talk current events talk to an Electrician named Ohm during happy hour at Davy Jones
22:15 WHAT AN AMAZING PHOTO!
41:30 Remember that time someone leaked classified info on a war thunder forum to win an internet argument?
That has happened multiple times.
@@ligmasack9038 Yeah...thanks for the F-35 crash vids guys great work. Enjoy the bad conduct discharge.
And.... how is the timestamp relevant to what you say and the topic of the video ?
Awesome video. The map work is a nice touch. Learned more about the Kola Peninsula than I ever dreamed. Can you do one with Sevastopol and Kamchatka?
Anyone else have the soundtrack for "The Hunt for Red October" playing their head during the first half of this?
Disclaimer: not a torpedoman.
Breech loading is from the back (i.e.: the breech). Muzzle loading is from the front (i.e.: the muzzle). The terms come to us from artillery.
A "Breach baby" comes out askew.
I assumed he was using the term 'breach' which is entering through a watertight compartment ala the outer submarine doors? I'm not sure either now haha.
Funny that he keeps making that mistake. I also saw this comment under his Lada videođ
Thank you again, Aaron! I can never run out admiration for the work you do to bring us this content.
Great video, thanks
Thanks for the updates.
6 inches is 152mm in metric. The torpedo loading via tubes (muzzleloader style) is how Kilo class subs are reloaded, also anti ship missiles that are larger than 533mm (so they need dedicated tubes that have no hatches in the torp room are loaded the same way)
Metric vs. Freedom units.
Metric vs acorns and body parts
When you said "I wish I could read that" at about 27:05, these were just the names of the boats "Gepard" (that's indeed cheetah in russian), and then on the next shot is "Kuzbass" (K-419 named after the region in russia)
YOU!, Mon ami, are a breath of fresh air. Seriously.
No BS, no polices, just analysis.
Top man
Did anyone else have to keep rewinding after getting distracted by the fish in the background? I like it.
Awesome vid thanks Jive
No problem đ
Love the show thanks
Outstanding Brief!
23:26 the russians use the imperial system to this day indirectly đ
.3 inch = 7.62 mm for the firearms
3 inch = 76.2 mm for tanks etc
6 inch = 152 mm for artillery
20 inch = 533 mm for torpedos
60 inch = 1520 mm for subs
even their cigarettes are 3 inch in diameter đ
and so on... â
Makes it easier to copy American tech...
Cheers jive always good to see your sub briefs out
You bet
I was waiting for this
There's still 2 Typhoons sitting up at Archangel
Last time I was this early, Russia was still considered the 2nd most powerful navy!
đ
Ouch that was what late last January?đ€Łđđ
Nice dude đ€Łđ€Ł
russia doesn't need anyone's ranking as long as they can get the job done that's all that matters
@@briant5685 they're clearly not getting it done, that's why this is funny..thats the joke
One on 26:54 reads "Gepard", the one in the next photo "Kuzbass"
Those are really fantastic photos of those subs.
Would love to see some videos on some British submarines (Astute, Vanguard)
Would be hard pushed bar some ops stories, most information is classified for good reason and Arron, is unlikely to share an Ally's most recent submarine technical info etc
The Astute is quieter than the Yasen, just to give you some perspective of how good it is.
Aye, we keep a lot more classified than what is given in a sub brief. My submariner friend who put me on to sub briefs wishes he could talk more about navy kit but cant
Sadly not much chance of covering active duty NATO subs for concern of leaking useful info. I think there's a brief on the Trafalgar class or the Oberon class somewhere
MOD said no.
Man i love this channel so much.
Very nice lecture. Unfortnitly you mixed up some pictures. Gepard (or chetah in english) doesn't have the big radome for towed array at the top of the rudder like Victor III Sierras and other Akulas but a setup much closer to Oscars and Yasen class. Would be nice to see similar lecture on Akula II Vepr.
Wouldâve liked to hear about the differences between this and the normal Akula 2s
27:06 The name on that gangway is "Gepard".
With the 2 subs side x side, the closer one is set farther back on the pier and is sitting lower/ drawing more draft, together both of those make it appear smaller
Glad I found this. Making a custom campaign for cold waters in north atlantic 2004.
6" = 15.2cm/152mm
Haha , wrong.
@@garynew9637 no, it's not wrong
Their was a document crew onboard the Northumberland when they hit the sub, the program was on channel 4 in the uk about a week ago probably still online
I asked a very uncomfortable question when I was in nuke school. My question was, 'Is it possible to cancel the sound of our submarines by taking their emitted noise and phase shifting it 180 and having the same amplitude to eliminate all sound created. Now, I realize that no one would answer that in the affirmative, but I was at the time unprepared for the reaction I got đđ€Ł. It's good to think outside the box right?
What was the reaction? :D
đ€Ł- That would be cool. I expect you also now know that there's a time and place for that kind of speculation and maybe the classroom isn't it ! I think this has been studied and found to be easier said than done. Of course you could also get it wrong and enhance your signature.
@BastĆ«nas literally everyone in class turned around n looked at me. The officer in charge of A school was visibly taken aback n started stammering an answer. Let's just say he neither confirmed nor denied it đđ€Ł. But seeing all my peers turn around n look at me was pretty rad. I hadn't discussed this with anyone, it was very off the cuff and it wasn't in a classroom environment but my whole class was present.
@@jamesgunn5103 indeed I could think of many ways you could mess that up. But one way to prevent that would be a series of microphones and sound generators. The microphones have the sound at the locations around the ship, the sound generators then cancel it at all the sources.
@@Raistlin222 you should ask sub brief about my question on compendium batteries which theoretically have similar chemistry to Lithium
Huh. Iâm behind in my studies. The type II was the last one I heard of competing with the 688i and VA class.
Awesome
Weird that the freon fire suppression system didn't kill anyone. Does this mean that as of the last Akula IIIs, the Russians finally fixed the design?
Don't go that far . Look at their aircraft carrier
@@robertschultz6922 ha ha I agree sir. Their "carrier" was, is, will remain a floating s**tbox.
@@markgrove2030 ah he is just getting ready for his next mission as a permanent submarine carrier
If there's a fire in the Sonar cabinets, I don't care if it's Freon or Halon - just so that damn fire stops!
1992, I remember that year.
i will join your patreon so i can participate in live chat. i cant wait for the fun!
The reason the one akula may not have the towed pod is because on akula 2âs it is drastically smaller almost the same width as the rudder.
Thanks for the awesome brief!!!4
I'm finding the fish swimming animation in the background a bit unnecessary and distracting.
Personally I think a plain black or gray is just fine (or maybe a static background with a little text like your sub brief). If you want something animated, I think that something (much) subtler would be better for this purpose.
Anyways just some constructive criticism from me personally; hopefully this didn't come across as particularly negative.
You can see the evolution of the design in the lines, like a base of a Victor III but with slick and blended lines of the Alfa, built to be more silent than both, and deadly with an impressive array of weapons. I found Akulas to be very sexy and intimidating subs.
Cool Sub Breif Jive Thanks !
like the videos thanks, love he Akula best looking sub imho.
I have read that the tow array on Gepard retracts into the sail instead of a pod on the rudder, this trait being unique to her in the Akula-class.
Was this the shipyard that was crocked and put tug boats at it's harbor exit so the navy couldn't get it's subs out without paying more Rubles before delivery???
I think that was the Amur shipyard in the far east.
Aaron, are you able to comment on any defensive measures (mines, patrols, nets or?) that the Russians may have in place to protect their bases in the Kola Peninsula?
The one on the left is moored forward more than the right one
Could a sub decoy be equipped with a detection system for incoming torpedoes that would set off a charge to disable the incoming torpedos? No need to hit a tornado with a tornado if you can attract the incoming torpedoes to a decoy and then detonate the decoy.
shhhhhh
What do you think about the SeaSpider | ATLAS ELEKTRONIK (Anti -torpedosystem)?
Your comment on the towed array pod is incorrect. The 2-2 does not have a towed array pod and neither does the Sev class. It is the easiest way to distinguish 2-2 from the rest of the class.
'and get that fish out of the ready room.' - Captian Jellico
27:07 It reads "Gepard".
Was that her real working prop ? It seems tiny.
*** You should really have a podcast for these long-format pieces, just add more description for the absence of visuals ***
You could add sponsors, new listeners, new subscribers to the channel, and a new revenue stream.
ooops, welders starting more fires.
A+
In the first few seconds looking at you zoomed out youâre hat blends into your headrest and makes you look like youâre wearing ushanka. 14:40. Poor Vasily dropped his light and we never see him again. If there was still a goulagđđđ
Olnya Guba...spook base iirc
All Typhoons have been decommissioned...
Most pictures are of Akula II, not III.
What about the Charlie II Sub Brief?
Inverters only go from DC to AC, not from AC to DC - that would be a rectifier.
H2 detection in seawater is completely possible using Raman Spectroscopy or Electrochemical method. Russians probably use the ingenious electrochemical method which will detect free H2 in seawater with high resolution very quickly.
You can interfere with the sensor's reading tricking it to read 0 by adding chlorine or HCl to the hydrogen dump.
This will take a normal reading and trick it to be a null reading if the solution in the water column remains relatively the right ratio.
Hydrogen lingers in water for 10 days or more. Which means if the water column is relatively stable the hydrogen wake is extremely long and can be followed with high precision.
If I were you I wouldn't answer the door ever again.
Why does a sub of this size has such a small screw?
ĐДпаŃĐŽ = Cheetah.
Pronounced "Gep-ard"
uff :D 22:20
4:39 The Russians, at least back then, were not afraid to show the propeller on this sub.
Nice Mercedes cap, which Mercedes you are driving?
Gepard is one of those words that's "cheetah" in a whole bunch of unrelated languages. Same with Kolibri or Termite.
Cheetah is pretty much only used in English.

Would a torpedo be launched with both it's passive and active sonars active or does one or the other have to be chosen? Also, can a torpedo be launched with such a slow initial speed that it does not avitate and then have it's speed increased as it gets closer?
That's a "swim-out" mode. I know the US ones can. And if you had passive running during an active pulse, you wouldn't hear anything.
@@NorthForkFisherman What would be the low speed set for "Swim out"?
@@markusmaximus629 classified, most likely
anyone know what happened to the rocket torpedos?
Sub in foreground is lower in the water, you now say.
Peir side operations dont include missile launches anymore? Good??
How many ships or submarines did the Akula III successfully attack and sink?
Hey Skipper, I thought new and modernized Akulas had 7 bladed screws like our subs or did they use those on different subs? I remember the stink the US gave Japan for selling them the CNC equipment we use to make our screws.
Just a question in general how come 12 conventional submarines Australia was going to buy were so expensive? 90 billion dollars Plus!
The French designed class? Aaron did a video about that a year or two ago I believe, if it's still up. Basically the French were just robbing Australia.
I donât foresee Russia đ·đș having the necessary components to be upgrading these subs.
I can't see how after their experience during the Soviet Union that they would rely on components from external sources for something so crucial as a nuclear deterrent.
@@JagdgeschwaderX I assume it was that the less money the russians spent on procurement , the more they could steal so they went with foreign components rather than R&D their own. There's also a problem of manufacture if the process is ' secret ' or not obvious when reverse engineered .
@@JagdgeschwaderX semiconductors and Microchips are something russia does not make. And for your targeting systems and warheads and computers and every piece of critical equipmentâŠ..
@@Conan-ny1um You'd be wrong about that but they are years behind the Western ones.
Dont forget most military equipment wasnt using the bleeding edge of microchips.
Ah something sub related...
30:40 Even though Iâm a Patreon member, I didnât watch this till now, and I expected to see it in the usual 1080, so it surprised me to see that it was uploaded in UHD. (Donât try to say that itâs in 4K, because itâs not. đ)
They were ripping out copper.
Too bad the contractors were still not using LEDs by 2012. Incandescent light bulbs had kind of run their course by then. Really outdated and inefficient lighting technology. If the company had given him modern equipmemt to work with, dropping his light wouldnât have started a fire.
Maybe itâs time to find the Cheetah and sink it!â ïž

@@SubBrief nooo man...i was eager to know bout this ship...
Why don't we load our subs the same way, common sense.
Iâm confused. Gepard in itâs different spellings (guepard in French for example) MEANS cheetah. In German, Russian, Italian, Spanish,âŠâŠ They donât give two subs the same name.
?????????
Funny that this accident with towed sonar were recorded on video in document about life on board of this British ship.
