Yea, things like thrusters or the side propellers that are shown above the waterline with these small white images I was aware of. But the ones on the Alfa was so like, something I woulda drawn myself in paint on a fantasy sub! :p

Thanks! Yea now that I search for secondary propulsion and submarines of different types I get all sorts of "retractable engine" infos :p
I have never realized it was a thing!

This secondary propulsion. Is that common? Don't know if Ive seen that alot.
If its main propulsion was so fast, and its other fratures like control surfaces and extra boyancy so great, why have those.

It says in the article that it now is standard after first introduced with the Alfa.

I guess at least two other sort of unpredictable foreign policy situations can quickly escalate to where this Greenland obsession goes if not away. Then at lest in his backburner.

I thought the flags and all was sorta funny too now that you know what it is.... how immature and incompetent do you have to be to prompt this thing and then "make it more Iranian"

Right! Well it makes sense then that there is a ship closer to the action.
What is the capacity on a cutter by chance? Can it carry multiple little birds.

Was a story about US special forces assets being moved to Europe recently.

U.S. special operations units transit UK en route to Europe
Recent U.S. military air movements into the United Kingdom indicate a redeployment of American special forces into Europe, UK Defence Journal understands.

Imo these signal danger in a greater way than regular warships which can be used as deterrence without actually fighting. Simply by being on patrol and waving the flag they can be measured, challenged etc. In line with rules of war. Camouflaged containerships is the grey zone. Maybe a first strike.

Experienced it mainly this way too! And felt like it was mostly back less than a month in. But judging fidelity at like 80 to 100% is probably hard unless you really have the kitchen for it :p (I did not).

Considering the "western" military shipbuilding capacity is already newsworthy so to say, because of how far behind China it is (in many ways). This here coming on top of that, their 200 times larger cargo ship building capacity (vs the US) weaponized. Doesn't it call for some radical new thinking?

Try to make the troops swear fealty to handouts from their general instead of the flag.
Wonder how that has worked out through history.

I was wondering if that was what the chains was for too, but in the image you also see things chained to the far end of the harbor. Beyond the sub sort of. Looks like rubber blocks? So Im wondering if its just chains to hold those rubber cushions the boats rest on when in dock.

I guess its too early to say, but that kinda explosion. Can it do more damage with its underwater shockwave and water displacement to the other subs and boats?

Come to think of it, protecting this place might fall in under Rosgvardia? Maybe a bad day for them as well.
And of course a major win for Ukrainean capabilities!
A good card to shuffle into the stack in these days of hard negotiations.
If it all is real at least.

It is a new variable in Russias negative favor. But they have cruisers, corvettes and planes to launch with as well.
It is like you said, a bloody nose, with consequences mostly indirectly I think for what it says about RU navy capabilities. But a very bad direct consequence for that sub I guess.
