Slava-class Sub Brief Live!

Yes but they are still having difficulties with several systems that are critical and will for years to come. Such as the turbine engines, even though the Factory is technically in Russia hands they still don't have the full capacity to manufacturer the system. A lot of the engineers and manufacturing experts are reluctant to work for Moscow. This makes maintaining the older Soviet ships in service just as important as before. The Slava and the kirovs are going to be left in service for years to come with minor refurbishment as they can afford.

i believe the main reason they didnt upgrade the vessel is probably they could contruct a new warship instead with much better technology, such as the new gorshkov class, i think it sunk mainly due to lack of training for both operation and damage controll. its a damn shame, she was a beautiful ship...

We don't really know yet. Russia has given inconsistent numbers and propaganda videos of "survivors."

90-100 seconds to respond to a missile incoming. In a military that doesn't encourage independent thinking in lower officers... Suddenly quite unsurprising that the ship got hit.

Nick Rowland

Did I miss the part how many people survived? I've seen some russian propaganda that shows 'all' saylors on russian shore but someone wrote that weren't even half the crew. Ofc both parties claim completely different numbers.

Awesome content! Really appreciate it! Love the detail of the various radars, some of that info is not easily found!

Player isn’t working on iphone. I’m currently building the Moskva and would love to watch this.

Ok I can watch this on my laptop, but it doesn’t show as watchable on my phone or tablet, both in browser and Patreon app. FYI.

It says this event hasn’t started yet? Can’t watch it after it was live?

Ben Dean

Been waiting for this! Thank you Aaron! What would the watch rotation have been like on the Moskva? 3 watches 6 hours each? So a sailor would be on watch 6 hours and then 12 hours off? Then having to sleep, eat, shower AND do all required maintenance activities in 12 hours?

The Granite (SS-N-22) is said to have home on Jam.

Any modern AShM that can home on Radar or Home on Jam?
