Back on topic: I have good news for future Kilo skippers! I have read great article in mentioned earlier Polish periodic "Nowa Technika Wojskowa" about Kilo's successor called project 677 or "Lada"-class sub will be armed with UGSTs and up to four Club-S missiles! Additionally "Lada" will also carry self-propelled submarine imitation devices (something now completely lacks in DW!) fired from torpedo tubes and made on the basis of electric torpedoes. There are three types of them now available: "Korund" ("Corundum"), "Berilij" ("Beryllium") and "Tuniec" ("Tuna"). Brand-new sonar suite called "Arfa" ("Lyre") includes first on Russian diesel subs towed array sonar which can detect surface targets up to 200 km! Also AIP propulsion of "Krista³³-27" ("Crystal-27") type is planned for next "Ladas"! This sub costs about 250 million USD but including independent AIP module total price is 300-320 million USD. Quite cheap if compared with its Western counterparts!
Hurrah!!!
There is plenty of new work as you can see, Lufty. So,
snap to it!
