Is Russia's new submarine any good?

The opening scene felt like a movie

If it doesn't have an onboard swimming pool, I'm not interested.

Boreas is the Greek god of the cold north wind, storms, and winter. IDK why, but I just love this name and can't remember anything cooler.

Just the presence of sauna already makes the new Borei upgrade vastly superior.

Retired as it maybe but Ill still love the typhoon class. That baby thicc!

I thought this was about the Belgorod submarine

I was expecting the belgorod class submarine but borei class it is..

the lack of a sauna is a deal breaker.

their crisp white sheets is still no match for the DIRTY BOOTS!

SLBM does NOT stand for Sea Launched Ballistic Missile but SUBMARINE Launched Ballistic Missile.

The Royal Navy had trouble firing it's missiles recently.

I'd love to see more about that arctic stealth sub!

The Grafix work is nice.

Let me give a few addtional history. The Borei's, which are the product of Project "Zapad" a Soviet era submarine building program, were originallt slated to be armed with 12 R-39UTTH SLBMs. Now R-39UTTH is an improved version of the R-39 SLBM, the major difference between the two missiles is that the R-39UTTH SLBM has a greater throw weight which is 3.05 tons compared to the R-39 which is 2.55 tons, plus with newer, compact and light weight nuclear warheads which were adapted from the R-29 SLBM the R-39UTTH can carry 10 or more low yield nuclear warheads. Another difference is the accuracy, NPO Avtomatika developed the guidance system of the two missiles, the R-39 was reported to have a CEP of 500 meters, while the R-39UTTH was reported to have a CEP of 120 meters. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Russians decided to move the development of the R-39UTTH was moved to Russia, the development of the first stage of missile was transfered from Yuzhmash (Ukraine) to NPO Iskra and NPO Altai, so was the second stage. The third stage was already being developed by NPO Iskra during Soviet times, the MIRV bus segment was already being developed by Kbkhm which is Russian. All three stages of the R-39UTTH were produced in the PZKHO plant in Perm in fact specialize production equipment from Pavlograd (Ukraine) were transfered to the PZKHO plant to produce the 1st stage of the missile. The first test of the R-39UTTH in Russia was on November 1993, but it was declared a failure, there was a total of 4 tests all were unsuccessful, Makeyev attributed the failure of the lack of funding in the localization of production of the 1st stage of the missile, plus the Ministry of Defence was complaining of the cost of the production of the engines. Makeyev still defended the R-39UTTH as the missile program was 70 percent complete and that they needed additional funding, the problem is that during the 90s the defense budget was so small that design bureaus were fighting over the small defense budget that available at that time.

I'd love to see new submarine videos from you, the ones you've made so far are excellent!

Another great video! Love the animations. Keep up the good work (:

boreis are meant to replace delta iii and iv ssbns and later even typhoon ssbns. There are 12 boats planned

It wouldn’t even be an effective paperweight, it’d roll right off the paper and get everything soaking wet. Not to mention how hard it would be to fit it on a desk.
