Jive is hell of a salesman, for proffessional sonar master on one of two superpowers hunter subs.
Let's hope Jive is safe. I'm worried about the NSA guy in white van. I think he has a plan to interrogate Jive at this point
@@hantubelaung Be more worried about the fracas that would occur with all of the intelligence agencies in the area when they try to make a move. Gotta keep your sources alive after all.

I was thinking the same thing...😁
Historian: In the chaotic aftermath of the 1917 revolution, Russians changed many place-names. This occurred again when the Soviet Union...
Sub Brief: Yeah, Russia does that a lot.
India: "Hey Russia, can we get a fast attack sub? We wanna do some learning"
Russia: "You want this 27yr old sub? Best sub, great shape"
India: "uhhhhh no thanks, we kinda wanna have it for 10 years"
Russia: "Will last 10 years, no problem" (Meanwhile, already planning to scrap it for being old)
Britain: "We'Re gonna scrap these antique submarines, they're rusted to heck, and they start fires every other week!"
Canada: "WHY ARE YOU SCRAPPING PERFECTLY GOOD SUBMARINES?"
Canada: *buys "perfectly good subs" but can't make them realistically functional*

27 Year SUBVET here myself. Basic Sonar Operator and Duty Storekeeper qualified A-Ganger (I was bored after qualifying everything else). Great channel and informative content!
“We are tracking them while they were tracking someone, possibly us!” Cold War indeed.
... who else was there ??? I guess french or british. Please tell us
This is the one sub I never wanted to encounter for any reason! A sub that could potentially appear out of nowhere, out run your torpedos, then vanish like a ghost is a terrifying foe.
Thanks, nice work. Let me add two cents. The Akulas were dubbed as "pregnant Victor IIIs" which is eventually true - the boat is wider and just as long. Two: the main weapon had been concidered 3M10 cruise missiles called Cranat (Pomegranate) or SS-N-21 «SAMPSON» in NATO parlance, hence second nickname: "mimiced SSBN". Being an answer to UGM-109 Tomahawk, Granat with surprisingly lightweight nuke warhead might easily fly out of 3000 km. Remember the troubles with Tomahawks on early LA class of USN, "four-shooters"? Weak torpedo tubes, which didn't allow the fully fueled UGM-109 to be fired properly so the first usage of Tomahawks from USN SSNs was for up to 500 nm of distance - missile contained only about one third of fuel aboard. To prevent such troubles, special "long" reenforced torpedo tubes were developed for Project 971, and since then one glance on a topredo tube of Russian sub inside is enough to say whether it is of "missile type" or merely and namely "torpedo" one. Akulas have just former ones. And last but not least: The former skipper of K-461 Wolf, VA Alex Burilichev, is now sittin' head of Naval Deepwater Program. As I remember him in a Commander rank (O-5) and boat CO, he preferred to stand on his feet firmly. But this time beneath him is not steel deck but ocean bottom;-)
I went to Saint Petersburg 2 years ago and got to meet a former commander of The Wolf. He gave me a tie clip from his days as captain. It was an amazing trip.
I really want to visit St. Petersburg, but I am afraid the FSB will want to have a chat with me.
@@SubBrief I didn't have any issues. It really was an amazing trip... if you have the chance to go I will hook you up with my friends up there. Also got to go on an old Foxtrot sub out in Kaliningrad. Never thought I would ever get to see anything like that back when I was in the Navy. I was on the SSN-684 in the 80's
man, this channel deserves some more love
and, is it just me or does the Akula just look... awesome
Yes it does. Love the design of this sub
Who could he collab with? Drachinifel maybe. The History Guy possibly. Cold War channel? Bald and Bankrupt lol 💁
the akula holds a place in my heart similar to the Mosin nagant rifles and the Mosquito aircraft, where I have this weird admiration for the exterior aesthetics i cant explain, no matter the functionality of them
Understood. For me it's the M1 Garand , BAR, and Thompson submachine gun....... combination of looks and function. MA Deuce. P-38 Lightning. Ruger 22 pistol and carbine. Patton tanks. Lockheed Constellation and Blackbird. Boeing 707. Essex class carriers. B52 with the old nose and tail. V2 rockets. The list is long.
@@kimweaver1252 the SR-71 is beautiful
@@kimweaver1252 the P38 is an amazing machine. I would love to own one and do a flight across the pacific islands visiting all the main Atols. Did it in Flight Simulator a few years ago.
@@WarmasterDeath i think the blackbird is loved and admired by all regardless of nationality.
It's so gorgeous ❤️
The Mosin can be an extremely competent weapon when done right and used right. Look up the Finnish variants, most of all the Tkiv-85 sniper rifle. That's what I used in the FDF, one shot one kill easily to 860m which was the max on our range, shooting at a camouflaged bust size target I did not know the location of, hidden in a bush. I can use it to reliably make a hit every 3 sec until I'm out of ammo or targets, obviously you would normally not do that in a real situation most likely, but I have in training, and it's a rebarreled Mosin with a better stock and scope.
Lmao, the president showing up and saying "We didn't order this wtf" has to be a moment.
Not to mention that it was Putin who's saying that.
Where in the video was this? I missed it lol
According to Russian sources on the Incident on the K-157.
The seaman went out for a chat with the pier guard around 3am then went back inside the submarine and picked up something akin to a Pickaxe. He went back outside and kept chatting with the guard and then when the other guy wasnt looking he stuck him down with the Pickaxe at about 4am. At that moment a officer was leaving the submarine on the other side of the pier (The K-328) and saw the guard on the floor with the other guy taking the AK from him. The officer went over and he too was stuck by the pickaxe but it didn't knock him out and he put up a fight. The Officer then tried to wrestle the rifle from the seaman but failed and he ducked for cover behind the electrical box at the pier while the seaman shot at him (He survived). The seaman shot the knocked out guard at point blank then proceeded to board the sub armed with the rifle. He went though the sleeping quarters and shot 5 men in their bunks then locked himself in the Torpedo room. By then the Officer from up top had sounded the alarm. The seaman triggered the fire Extinguisher system in compartment 2 to seal off the Torpedo room from tampering and he shot 2 more crew members that where sleeping in the Torpedo Room. From there the Standoff lasted until that evening. He threatened to blow up the sub and made piles of combustible material and Oxygen candles under the warheads. His only demands where wine and food. A telephone was Given to him so he could speak to his family and unknown to him the phone was rigged with a Shaped Explosive charge on a battery switch. After the battery ran low it detonated while he was talking with his older Brother and it instantly killed him. Only after that did the FSB squad open the hatch.
Seems he just had a mental breakdown and was not under "Bunk" Arrest or anything. Sources say he was a quiet unstable guy who was picked on a lot by the rest of the crew.
Huh, an explosive in the telephone, what a quick-thinking approach!... unless all phones contain a shaped explosive charge :O (I look at my Android phone with new comprehension.)
@@vladimirdyuzhev Jesus, the cia are definitely gonna use the to assassinate people. I hope it blows up in their faces
Great story, thanks for that. That'll do ya know

@@soonerfrac4611 Munich revenge assassinations, right?
If she’s still “awaiting repairs” she had a reactor casualty.
That would be a reasonable assumption, given the Soviet then Russian Navy's poor safety record at sea. Not only a reactor casualty, but a very serious one. One that could have sunk the ship and killed everyone aboard. It's unacceptable to lose entire crews at sea the way they did. I hope the disaster that sank the Kursk, a submarine built to dish out and receive damage convinced the Russian admiralty that the welfare of their crews should always be a top priority. Trained, professional crewmen and officers are not easy to come by. They had to face public outrage over the loss of the Kursk, I hope that painful moment led to the Russian Navy improving how their people are trained. I am an American, but I do not want crews from any country being unsafe down there given there is a nuclear reactor down there with them. The only reason we haven't had as many accidents as they did is Hyman Rickover. Love him or hate him, he insisted on competency and saftety, given he personally chose everyone who became an officer. The Soviet, then Russian Navy really needed a Rickover of their own.
Not necessarily. The thing is, the Soviet navy and its offspring the Russian navy always cared about number of hulls. But only judging from Jive’s briefs, their maintenance was nothing near scheduled, regular or at least semi regular. Combat effectiveness of the Soviet navy was just words written on a piece of paper. Boats had to stay in port for years because pf lack of shipyard capacity, qualified labour and spares in Soviet period. There was no issue with money back then. Combat readiness was nearly the same as of the money stripped Russian navy of the 90s-00s.
Little example: Alfas were supposed to have shore steam plants built and run for them while in port in order to be able to shut down their reactors (liquid metal coolant they used would solidify if not constantly heated by either reactor or supplied steam). Those facilities never ran properly, which resulted in Alfas using up their reactors much faster than planned on. The boats themselves ended up being used as overpriced power generators for port facilities, since they had to be kept running at all times anyways. After learning something like this, it is no longer a surprise, that those boats had very short life span and minimal number of patrols.
@@leftnoname: You’re leaving out one thing. Soviet/ Russian sailors operated those boats! To assume that their lack of quality made the crew inferior would/could lead to your destruction! Those officers were incredible sailors! Once achieving the rank of Captain, they stayed with that particular design for the duration of their career. Underestimating then was always a risk.
You allow for that, and then see this sub setting pier side for all these years?
It’s reactor related. Anything else, the crew could and would get that boat to sea! Extra $!!!!
Not necessarily. More likely there's no money to allow to continue the operation of the sub
Funding Russia for scrapping subs. Does Russia have no shame?
I love the part in "Red Storm Rising" when one of the characters ejects from his jet near a soviet pilot that also ejects and in order to get the enemy pilot in to the life raft he has to remember the name of the "new soviet submarine project"
"AKULA IN THE WATER?"
Love that novel
@@hededcdn fantastic book, RSR and Rainbow Six are definitely some of my favourite books even if I think the antagonists in R6 were misrepresented
@@NathamelCamel why is that? I think it predicted our present. Haha
You mentioned 2 officers getting knocked out of the bridge and only one body recovered. That reminds me of one of our sister boats stationed out of kings bay at the time. I forgot which one, maybe the USS Kentucky, either way... I was on the USS Nebraska and we left Blackshear Nova Scotia Canada after a week of port call in Nov of 1997 or 98. While we were transiting out, the Kentucky was transiting in. They stayed there a few days until a hurricane started heading for them. So we they were doing a surface transit out, the officer of the deck and a look out were harnessed in on the bridge during a sea state 5 or so. Next thing they know it's a rogue wave hits them and they start sinking down past 200ft and a solid collum of water is pouring down the sail hatch in control. They pulled an emergency blow and eventually surfaced after 2 minutes. The torpedo room ended up with 6 ft of water and the all the main AC busses were shorted out, including the battery disconnect. Needless to say, the reactor scrammed and they were dead in the water. It took them 2 weeks to get towed to groton connecticut. Amazingly the OOD and Lookout were ok but I heard they got a free pass out of the navy if they wanted it due to the PTSD of the whole situation. Not sure if they did leave, but what a horror story. Great channel sir.
As a serving sonar man in the RN I would love to have a chat about shared experiences, just a pity it can't be done on a public forum. Keep up the good work
Da comrade! I also would like to discuss classified western submarine technology in a secure manner.
@Sub Brief regarding the K-371 “Bratsk” - it is actually not exactly fraternal, but the name of a city in Siberia region, close to lake Baikal. But yeah, the name of the city has that meaning too which may be confusing 😆
Also, the AK Bars refers to a Russian company that also sponsors one of the major hockey teams, and apparently they took a sub under their patronage, much like Severstal company did with a project 941 sub (don’t remember which one exactly)
Great info. Thank you for clearing that up.
Thank you for making these awesome videos, I'm certain it takes a lot of effort to make these, especially since a lot of info is in Russian!
P.S. I'm doing more digging right now and the AK Bars info is not exactly correct :D It translates to "white bars" from Tatarian language, and its the official symbol of Tatarstan region which was the patron of the K-480. A large company and team of the same name exsists which got me confused. Sorry to mess that one up!
That's fascinating background on the name lol we certainly have a wide variety of corporate sponsorships in the US, but I have never heard of a military vessel being sponsored lmao
@@jakeb6703 This took place a bit during the 90s, when the Russian government didn't really care for the military, or the country as a whole, really. The amount of patronage also varied a lot, and it didn't happen with every vessel. In terms of how in came about, sometimes the ship's captain/fleet command would find a patron company, sometimes the initative would come from the business, espacially if the business owner was ex-military.
Most often though, the patronage comes from regional governments. One notable story is of Slava-class cruiser "Slava", which was about to be scuttled in the 90s, while it was in dock for repair and modernization. The Black Sea Fleet managed to get the government of Moscow to finance the repairs in return for renaming the ship into "Moscow", and that basically saved the cruiser.
@@Dandushka11 thanks! basically like how we look at sports sponsorships here, maybe not a bad way to finance military rather than tax dollars lol
"Ak bars" and "Bars" were both correct name for K-480. It was named Bars (leopard in Tatar language) in 1991 and renamed to Ak bars (white leopard) in 1998.
Allahu ak bar
I missed this channel. Jive.
I will always be here for you.
@@SubBrief jokes aside, i think your channel is among youtube's worthiest purposes - promoting free dissemination of obscure knowledge. i wish they'd do more to promote channels like yours instead of garbage pop music and throwaway 'challenges'.
@@oldfrend there is a similar channel called millenium 7*
Thank you Aaron for the time and effort you put into sharing your most interesting experiences and knowledge of modern submarines.
The should rename the Ak Bars to the Admiral Ak Bar. The ships motto can be "Its a Trap!"
Definately a class of attack subs that combine reputation with a fitting name. If the later versions of the Akula were already so quiet that they could disappear on passive sonar - maybe by diving so deep that a sealayer with different salinity masked what little noise they make - and knowing that accoustic stealth has moved on quit a bit since then, I wonder what detection means are left to catch a Yasen for example. Maybe ultra low frequency passive sonar? Yeat if the comparisson with low frequency radar against LO aerial targets is a clue, than these will be rather unprecise in locating or determining course, speed and depth. I also wonder what chances MPAs will be having to catch a sub from the air, the latter being ultra quiet, made of demagnetized steel (so goodbye to the Magnetic Anomaly Detector (MAD)) and being able to run so deep, that I'm not sure what a hunter-killer sub, MPA, ASW-frigate or -helicopter would have to be looking for, let alone how to guide weapons to it.
And with a submerged speed of over 30 knots submerged! Holy crap, how could any surface ship defend against that? I'm not entirely sure, but I have the impression surface ships are on the receiving end of an invisible hunter that can strike when and where it wants to and almost with impunity. Could it be that modern subs are the nemesis for large surface combattants the same way aircraft spelled the end of the era of dreadnoughts?
Yes.
I have heard large surface combatants compared to the Maginot line. And I don’t fully disagree!
There are ways.
Surface ships don’t have to hide to protect their own stealth so they can use things like active sonar. That levels the playing field because they are designed to be out in the open and take hits without sinking. A submarine’s only defense is stealth, once found she’s an easy target for a heavily armed surface ship.
@@samuel5916 against submarines with all sorts of measures against active sonar (anechoic tiles, hiding in layers, etc.) active sonar is just as limited as passive.
@@Pincer88 Those advancements don’t exist in a vacuum. Active sonar has actively evolved along with stealth technology. At best you can reduce your sonar signature like stealth planes but you can’t eliminate it. Thanks to advanced computer hardware and software, it’s easier then ever to sort through raw data and identify targets.
I think I might have seen K-152 when I was working as a deck officer on container ships sailing from the USEC into the Indian Ocean. It was about 2013 or 2014. We were in the Indian Ocean close to the Red Sea and there was a submarine transiting on the surface and it looked like an Akula Class. I didn't get a great look at it or anything, but it had the pod on the rudder and that sort of low, long, streamlined Soviet/Russian sail.
Good call-out supporting mental health. We need more of that in the world.
Wow, excellent review of what sounds like a very capable Russian submarine. I had a slight "mishap" playing the Akula 1 in Cold Waters... I launched a torpedo and armed it too close to my own sub. Won't say what the outcome was, although it led to some very fancy maneuvering on my part, those wake homing torpedoes just don't want to let go of you! Top notch work on this video, looking forward to seeing the next one. Might have to play Cold Waters tonight now, just have to alert the crew to standby with the bilge pumps, ha ha.
Jive, love your work. I’m currently in the military and find this kind of stuff fascinating. Grew up reading Tom Clancy novels and I imagine he would have been a big fan of your channel with all the Cold War references and superb technical information. Always look forward to another upload from Sub Brief
If I am not mistaken, Clancy passed away not too long ago. He was a U.S. Army veteran, and his well written novels I enjoyed reading. In fact, he was a celebrity among U.S. military personnel.
I grew up reading Tom Clancy as a teenager and well into my 20s and 30s. I could not enlist due to some medical problems but this didn't keep me from keeping up with the latest military hardware. Tom Clancy was the best way to become familiar with military parlance and weapons/platforms designations. I can still remember his detailed description of AS6 Kingfish missiles plowing into the USS Nimitz. A great author greatly missed. From an Aussie fan down under. RIP Tom Clancy.
Great stuff as always Jive! So glad to have you as a paramount in the community !
Much appreciated!
Not sure when you recorded this, but the INS Chakra has been repaired and has been back in service for a while now.
Around 40 minutes in he says december 2019.

Just wanted to say thank you for your long and distinguished career whilst serving Aaron. I'm not from the US but from one of the NATO nations. Also thank you for these enlightening briefs. Been a sub-scriber since before the jive sub was a thing and check back every couple of days for the latest video!
Great information regarding the "other" side.......love your comment, "during sea trial, she was never alone"!!! Kudos to the American sub-mariners! Love your little side stories, please keep them coming!!
Jesus the last place you want someone unstable is anywhere near a nuclear sub
I was thinking head of state of a country with lots of nukes.
I have a feeling an officer came to his superior and announced his billion-worth submarine was defeated by mud and got an angry response. I hope that he learned history and could give other examples of military defeats due to mud...
The Germans found Russian mud to be as effective an adversary as the Soviet snipers and ground attack planes such as the Sturmavec.
We were on patrol north of Russia when I had an opportunity to listen in the sonar shack to our hydrophone arrays. While there we picked up an Akula leaving its port & was amazed at just how noisy they were! When I asked the sonar tech if this was normal he said yes, the Russians concentrated on speed not quiet? Sounded like an old klinker? I then asked him how far away he was & he replied no where close, that’s why we don’t need to worry about them.
Good shout, always been that way. 1980's Russian submarine coming out of port with Noise on. Tracking for miles. Russian Navy tells public, we don't need quiet, we have speed. Fuckin' right. Easy day in my sonar shack. Racked up. Followed with firing solution for weeks. Fuck yeah. Russia got speed, but can't out run an ADCAP. (Russia don't know about ADCAP, so...ah, keep this between us.)
Great material, as always!
For naming conventions with subs - they now are called in honor of russian citys, like Bratsk, Magadan, ets.
The separation of crew and vessel you mention is now also done in the German Navy with all Subs (since 2011) and the new F125 frigates (since 2020). There are crews Alpha to Golf for the 6 212-A subs and Alpha to Foxtrott for the 4 frigates. Reports from the Navy and crew commanders suggest that this works very well and the crews start to identify with their own name and experiences instead of with the vessels.
When the Mehrbesatzungskonzept (multi crew concept) was introduced into the German Navy the American multi crew concept of Gold/Blue was given as an inspiration and proof of concept. Time will tell if the concept also works with the new frigates and the idea of keeping the ship in the area for 2 years and rotating crews every 6 months pays out.
Same business, same line of thinking. Thanks man. There is still a hope for all of us.
These questions aren't quite related to this video, but if you read this...
1. What's it like when a submarine pitches up or down? I imagine it's like a longer version of a ship crossing a wave, but can combat maneuvers ever get uncomfortable for the crew?
2. How do spec ops teams deploy? Is it true that they'd use a torpedo tube, or do they just use a hatch? Do methods change between nations/submarines?
3. Could you breakdown the different power plants subs use? Basically their pros, cons, noise levels, etc. It was kinda surprising to learn that there's modern non-nuclear subs made by nuclear-capable nations.
Thanks for the content, btw. I'm gonna sign up for Patreon soon
1. The submarine taking angles is fun. Kind of like a very slow roller coasters.
2. We have specially designed lock out chambers for spec forces depending on the class of submarine.
3. I can not talk about the power plants. That is very secret.
@@SubBrief Thanks for the help, and I expected as much regarding the power plants. Luckily googling them pretty much answered what I wanted to know about the differences. Anyways, do you know if running on batteries possible in Cold Waters? And can some boats actually use the low-speed secondary screws to be quieter? (If so I assume it's automatic like the towed array)
Thanks
Edit: reading up on it, it seems like diesel-electric boats are assumed to be on batteries. I don't expect further clarification; don't reveal anything you aren't allowed to
In theory the other foreign (noisier) submarine could have been deployed to observe the exercise and serve as a distraction while other units (aka American submarine) observed Russian fleet.
1987 200 miles off St Thomas I volunteered, thru a torpedo tube I was ejected out at 50feet below. I basically swan to a russian Yankee class submarine and attached a listening 'device' I swam to the surface while a Bronze Whaler. Shark circles me for nearly an hour. Finally I was picked up. I received the Navy cross for bravery! 👍 I don't like to brag about it though.
Still think this is the best looking sub ever.
It always impresses me how the Russians have always played the West, 'want us to fight hitter? Pay us' Want us to clean up our own nuclear rubbish? Pay us'
Absolutely love the intro to your surfshark spot.
This channel is great! Glad to see the curtain pulled back a little on what I spent a decade doing in the Navy.
If they're that terrible and corrupt I'm vaguely surprised that the management at Amur have never suffered some sort of "tragic accident".
In those countries "tragic accidents" happen to you if you are not corrupt.
As someone once told me about Mexico: here you have to be bold to be corrupt. In Mexico you have to be bold to be not corrupt.
I absolutely love your stories and sub briefs.
29:47 "and there she shi... uh she SITS." GREAT recovery! 😅
first brief about a nuke that entered service in my lifetime. interesting what modernish secrets he'll reveal XD
“The FSB stopped the threat.”
This is the same organization that uses potentially lethal sedative gas to “stop the threat” of terrorists holding children hostage and kills the kids.
@@soonerfrac4611 If you're confused, this commenter refers to the situation where Снеснеп теггогosтs took a theater in Moscow hostage in 2003. Now, what I wanted to say to this man is you are deliberately trying to present a very complex issue in an ignorant way, almost like you're spreading propaganda or something.
The authorities did the best they could to save lives. Before the special forces stormed the building, a gas containing fentanyl was used to make everyone in the building unconscious. Yes, some people died because of that. But just imagine what could've happened if they stormed the building and the теггогosтs were awake? Everyone would be dead, because the теггогosтs would've activated their explosive devices.
And you make it sound like the FSB deliberately killed those people or something. You prick... Shame on you.
Oh, and it really wasn’t the fentanyl in the gas that killed most of the civilians. It was positional asphyxiation. After they fell asleep in their chairs their heads slumped forward causing them to basically hang without a rope. The tongue blocks the airway and you die. It’s been a very long time but it was a case we studied both as a regular MP and a member of our Special Reaction Team.
Been hoping for this vid for quite a while, always been curious about the Akula class. Thank you, and well done!!
K-419 Kuzbass, what a name. With due respect to the Russian admiralty, I personally call her Hardbass 😁
His comment about information collection is so spot on. I once did a 3 day trip where I drove a lot, covering many miles and wouldn't you know it, the week following the trip, web sites I visited suddenly started showing advertisements for long haul trucker jobs. I never had those in the past. How would anyone know I was out driving? The only way would have been my phone naturally. Something, whether the cell company or some app etc was able to look at my locations and make the connection (I have location service turned off for most apps so....). What's that saying again, "Trust no one"?
Congrats on the Sponsor, You did one of the best VPN, Promos.
Love the histories of the various submarine classes.

Awesome! Thank you!
Probably the coolest name for a submarine, can't easily find a more intimidating title than that.
35:12 99.5 The Wolf is the country music station in Portland 😂
lolz, I nailed it!
Someone may have already left this comment, but: St. Petersburg (also Petrograd) was the name of the city prior to the Russian Revolution, the name was changed to Leningrad (“Lenin’s City”) after his death. Many cities were renamed after the Revolution to remove Czarist naming or bourgeois names. After Perestroika and the fall of the Soviet Union, many of these cities had their names restored to pre-Revolution names.
Jolly interesting even to a non naval person and it helps 'fill in the gaps' of some books I;ve read that mention the Akula. Thanks for this.
"Spiners" as he calls them are extendable propulsors for 5kts super silent moving, not some help for failures. And this is not only sub that has them.
Thank u so much captain! Brilliant as usual. I got great books ‘submarines of the soviet navy’ 4 vols - has beautiful drawings of all these subs (which is good cos the text is all in Russian!). From an aesthetic point of view the Alula is the best + meanest-lookin submarine I think I ever seen! Closely followed by the new Yassen... Anyway, I had no idea the akula’s development was so fraught - fascinating stuff. Love hearing your personal experiences/opinions too (still waiting for that book!). There’s a good Russian doc called ‘beasts of the northern fleet’ or similar where they look at all these subs, leopard, cheetah, tiger etc on UA-cam. Anyway, thanks for anther great brief - cheers! :)
After months of absence (my absence that is) I am glad that Jive is still here. Hopefully that black van is no longer parked in front of the house.^^
I'm still chugging....chug*chug*chug*...
loving these longer vids
Please add a constantly moving graphic somewhere on the screen throughout your videos. Chromecast is unable to sync audio and still images in real time. The audio cuts out for half a second every 1.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds with no visual movement. Some youtubers have recognized this and taken actions to mitigate it. For example, The Fighterpilot Podcast and Aviantion History channels. Thank you for your time and I love your channel but this chromecast issue makes these videos almost unwatchable. You and others are most likely unaware of how widespread this issue is and how unfairly it affects the views of otherwise marvelous content. Thanks again for such a unique and informative channel!
"K461 The Wolf" Sounds like a radio station
K-263 was utilizated in 2019
Surely am not the only one who finds the dichotomy of being placed on the watch list vs being offered contract work by the agencies placing you on the watchlist, as ironic, bizarre and slightly disturbing.
Question: It was mentioned that the Bars was removed from active duty because they needed the crew. Would you please explain what crew? The shipyard crew that maintains her, or the Naval crew assigned to her? If it is the Naval crew, what do these sailors do during the years the sub is in port? Thanks, and I love this channel, very educational.
Jive can you do a whiteboard on how you distance the sea floor and shallow shelfs and ship wrecks passively? How is it possible to sneak into ports or work in shallow water and look for obstacles without transmitting? And how would you Decipher the difference between bounce and ground if you do transmit?
Okay Iven sure can.
@@TheOne-ve7hs I'm pretty sure all country's have figured out a way to do it by now I mean if China can do it in there pig iron sub anyone can, I personally just don't understand how its done but that's just me I guess.
@@prestonm4s He can't comment on stuff like that so you won't get a response he would end up in prison or worse.
Oh I didn't realize Wayfinding passively was classified
A interesting note. The Akula class was developed after the spy John Anthony Walker sold the secret of SOSUS and quiet submarine technology to the soviets. American Submariners at the time nicknamed them Walker class submarines.
"Sounds like a radio station" Yeah, classic rock.
The Barents Sea typically has a low enough surface temperature that sailors are warned to keep their heads out of water to avoid rapid hypothermia.
Hmm...K-157 indicent:
Captain to FSB: "Oh, good, you're here. He's barricaded himself into the torpedo room."
FSB Leader: "So... he's commiting suicide, yes?" [cocks weapon, looks to his team] "Let's go."
This channel is amazing. Hello from Canada.
Been after a VPN. Thanks chief!
Just finished watching the korean movie 'Steel Rain 2' which has some interesting sub action especially towards the last third of the movie. Japanese Oyashio-Class hunter killers (and another class, I think the Sōryū) are hunting a north korean ballistic missile sub before it can fire on japan. Lots more to the story but it's mostly from the north korean perspective and had some interesting moments as they try to evade the japanese.
Is it worth watching
Thank you for your great content.
Best channel on the topic for miles...
All the best.
Be it the sub or the Attack Helicopter, the Akula in both cases is a sexy piece of work.
Couldn't wait for this one. Awesome. Thank you!
Enjoy!
Be interested to see some other NATO subs, UK French Swedish German etc
Indeed. Especially Swed ones
Find it ironic that K157 (the murder boat) is named the boar which in Russian is Vepr which is a company that produces AKM style rifles
I know someone that may or may not be me, that will now manage the 'exceptions' for certain systems on certain military submarines, but we may or may not call the process something else.
It's so cool to hear what is essentially a condensed version of the full service record of a particular submarine and even an entire submarine class and 1 hour 8 minutes and 50 seconds. What's equally as cool is that it's all done without the agenda of bashing the quality or capability of these submarines on account of them being produced and operated by one of our declared rivals. That's the only thing I don't like about so many of the military programs on tv. They (TV program developers) all have a political and social agenda and it's abundantly obvious to anybody with even a rudimentary understanding of military hardware. When I'm taking an information about a foreign submarine, I'm not interested in other people's abused of other countries or other countries political systems or their social values. I don't care about any of that garbage. I just want to know two things. Tell me the machines specifications and tell me it's service history. I can decide the rest for myself, and I thank you captain jive turkey for those things to us.
13:55 "out of the blue". More like "out of the brown (mud)". 😎
Back to that seaman who barricaded himself in the torpedo room ... Did that sub have that Freon (Halon?) fire suppression system? In the torpedo room? At least after he had killed his hostages, couldn't be have been _"eliminated"_ by activating that without the need for gunfire?
i love how you're sponsored by surfshark, talking about the nuclear shark of the barents (akula is after all russian for shark)
I am full of irony.
When talking about Whale, 24 minutes in, you said an Akuka shot a Granit missile? An SS-N-19 Shipwreck??
Wasn’t the Walker Clan responsible for the upgraded sound deadening of it? I thought I had read that he used to tell them regularly how loud they were?
Love these comprehensive looks at various sub classes and what we know about their deployments. Seems like a bit of a circus out there though, and I wonder how much relevance the submarine forces can maintain in the future unless other countries can close the gap and become credible threats.
The purchase of the large milling machines allowed Russia to fabricate propellers that are much quite then previously fabricated. I don't recall if they purchased those milling machines from Japan or S. Korea. This happened some few years after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Out of curiousity Capn, where would this rate in your list of 'Russian Subs I'd like to take for a Joy Ride' - I'm picking top 3?
Joyride? Alpha would have to be at the top of the list. Papa a close second. Typhoon SSBN just to feel that thing move. It's so big.
@@SubBrief The followup question:
On a scale of 1 to Neeeeeooooooow - How enthusiastic would the Race car noises be when taking the Alpha for a full Flank run?
One of my all time favourites! Thanks a lot man!
Glad you like it!
Your work is fantastic.
Thought it would be a short watch while I pooped, ended up sitting here the whole hour.
The military channel needs to hire you as a consultant on future programs they do about Cold War era submarine tactics between the United States and Soviets.
I made Chief in 1991...A good year for both of us....
Wonder if you could do a video on a bunch of amateur Filipinos are attempting to hack into the controls of autonomous Chinese HSU-001 variant submarines that they claim are right off shore of the Philippines.
The Russian military *really likes* their autoloaders, not just the Navy!
Do you have sub Briefs on modern british or japanese Subs? Your Briefs are really great
For security reasons he does not cover currently in service NATO subs. There is a Sub Brief on the Soryu on the patreon (though its pretty brief, pardon the pun) and ones for the Trafalgar and Oberon since they are out of service.
@@b.griffin317 I saw a notification that he's doing a Collins class sub brief. A class that is still in service with a close ally of the US (albeit not NATO).
I take it the titanium hull became what is known to NATO as the Alfa
Who would win : a state of the art multi million dollar weapons system or river mud?
