I get they are largely Agosta class boats with a reactor section inserted to replace the machinery section, but I genuinely do not understand how they managed to make such small nuclear submarines.
At that point its got to be almost more expensive to miniaturise everything compared to making a larger, more capable SSN. Still interesting boats though.
Less power mainly, I would imagine (limited to 20-25 Knots max, depending on sources). I also think miniaturization was not that much of a problem, since the US managed to fit a nuke reactor in a 400T sub more or less a decade earlier in the form of NR-1 (granted it wasn’t a military submarine)
Rubis are budget SSNs with questionnable crew comfort, and they also pale in comparison of others when it comes to ammo capacity (mix of 14 torps and AShMs in total).
Thankfully, Suffren exists X)
Still, having a SSN almost as short as a type VII seems fun.
i think its different, russia ukraine at a deadly war right now
also ukraine now is a western country
anyways, i think ukraine vehicles better be in western countries
but it would be a nice addition to any country
even russia
or maybe new “EASTERN EUROPE NATION”
lol
Could make a suggestion for it
i will see if i get around to make one for it one day
Doubt it tbh
Gaijin: 520DKK pls
They should start adding stuff like this
the tech-tree is USSR, not Russia. All former USSR nations belong there.
wtf ? no dude, that mean poland abram/k2pl, germnay leo2, ukraine gripen/rafale/f16…
what wrong with you
Poland was never part of the USSR, only of the Warsaw pact like East Germany for example. But it wasn’t a part of the USSR like Ukraine was
In the bottom picture you have , under the belly , next to R-60 …that’s Fatter.
