Things are a little different when you're underwater and observing while being unobserved.įrom a practical standpoint, what's better? Having the boat itself or being able to watch what their crew operate it? We can look at it all day long, but until you get US operators behind the wheel and use it against our equipment, in a controlled enviroment you are only making guesses. Same with any fighter, tank or helicopter of theirs we they have. I'm sure we're well aware of their capabilities. Guaran-damn-tee you that those things have never left the Barent's Sea without being closely studied and tracked. The US needs to buy one, see how good or bad they really were. The fact that the Soviets used different names merits a footnote at best. When I was busy beating back the red threat, nobody gave a rat's ass what the Soviets called it not even the ONI guys. It is sometimes confused with other submarines, as Akula is the name NATO uses to designate the Russian Project 971 Shchuka-B (Щ у к а -Б ) class attack submarines.įor an article published in English, it still is a poor and overly confusing choice by the author which adds no technical value.
The Typhoon class was developed under Project 941 as the Russian Akula class (А к у л а ), meaning shark. NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) named the Akula class the Typhoon class. The third generation Soviet submarine Project 941 was named Akula, the Akula class (А к у л а ) of submarines. If you push someone in a bar, are you surprised when they push back?Īkula is a fast attack sub.
Missile bases and Georgia joining NATO are a waste it does not matter what "type" you might be. I'm getting the feeling you might be one of those pro-Paul isolationist types.Īfter decades of half-assed foreign policy, it might be time to rethink things. If it comes down to America or Russia fulfilling their interests, well, then obviously I choose America. What's your point? America should pursue its interests, not accede everywhere to the wishes of others, to include its enemies and opponents. That is something we should not let happen. The Americans are trying to subdue the governments of surrounding countries in whatever way they can, from getting involved in politics to outright war, with the purpose of having a buffer zone effectively under American controul. Our allies are nervous as hell because they think we're going to abandon them to the Americans when it comes down to it. The Russians are trying to subdue the governments of surrounding countries in whatever way they can, from getting involved in politics to outright war, with the purpose of having a buffer zone effectively under Russian controul. Our allies are nervous as hell because they think we're going to abandon them to the Russians when it comes down to it.
We should build missile bases in Poland and support Georgia to show them who is the boss. They have our best interests in mind when they support the Iranians who, BTW, just happen to be causing a lot of death and traumatic amputations with ordnance they give to our enemies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just because they rebranded themselves as The Russian Federation not a lot has changed. The Soviets still have their missiles pointed at us? You think Russia wants to go to war with the United States?
