Maybe you've already seen it but I've found a recent (2017) russian documentary on the 636.3's Kilos, it is in 1080p and it shows quite detailed views of the interior (minor, I think, the sonar room), it's also quite long, almost an hour.

I haven't seen it but will watch it the newest submarines do feature much upgraded sonar systems and waterfall displays the 636.3 has been around and even now being tweaked.




here it is:





I really wish there was something like this https://haynes.com/en-gb/astute-clas...bmarine-manual for the modern Kilos

Pinch of salt though so dont rely on it and whats more Russia is still very closed when it comes to the military


Do you mind if I ask you how they depoly special forces underwater? do they use the Torpedo tubes? I saw that the Akula-III's had some exercices like that to evacuate the crew in case of disaster.

Deploying Spec Ops i wouldn't know i am afraid i would assume they use a lock out chamber, however i doubt they would use a kilo not when they just commissioned the special projects submarine (now the largest submarine in the world) Belogorad (Former project 949A) and also the converted KS64 Moscow an ex Delta IV SSBN


Also do every crewman has a bunk or there's hot bunking as usual. I calculated they would need around six crew cabins for full accomodation but again, pure speculation on my part.

I am aware with numbers on the Russian boats being as low as 45 every man has a bunk depending of course the mission


This is a documentary of the Baltic fleet the submarine Magnitogorsk is featured you get a good look inside her
