She collapsed: what happened to the Russian submarine "Kazan" in Cuba

The Russian nuclear submarine "Kazan" Class "Yasen-M", which is rolled in the harbor, attracts attention with its shabby. The pictures published on the Internet show that there are no sound insulation panels on the submarine, and this calls into question its invisibility. Focus translated Peter Sucheu's article about the state of Russian Submarina "Kazan". The Cuba is famous for its cigars, beaches and the revolution of the 1960s.

Thanks to the latter, she is also known for her classic American cars. Even today, more than 60 years after the Communists came to power, Cuban streets are filled with religious American cars, and handicraft workshops support them in working order. It is worth noting that one of the Russian ships, which recently arrived in the Cuban capital of Havana with a five -day visit, was noticed on Tuesday in a somewhat shabby form.

The pictures that appeared on social networks allegedly visible damage to the external corps of the atomic submarine with the managed missiles "Yasen-M" "Kazan". Perhaps the crew should contact the local residents to maintain the boat maintenance? Marin Marcus, a leading consultant of the IT company Capgemini, shared four photos of "Kazan" in his post on LinkedIn. He suggested that the sound insulation panels on the vessel's body fell off, which threatened its invisibility.

"Sound insulation panels fall off, which means that the" steels "submarine is likely to be very loudly noisy under water and glow on the sonar," Marcus wrote. "The echolocation panels should be replaceable, but, my God, this is a hole on the right . . . ". Further, Marcus noted that Russian divers are trying to repair six -year submarines, and added: "Please note that the loss of panels is a problem that western submarines also suffer.

Usually, this is a problem of glue and constant compression and enlargement of the body. This submarine will return to Russian waters before exploding, so as not to cause another international incident similar to a catastrophe of the Kursk submarine in 2000. The images became viral, turning into the last squeak of anti -Russian propaganda on social networks. "The Russian atomic submarine is destroyed. The newest Russian nuclear submarine" Kazan "falls apart during a visit to Cuba.

The Russian fleet = bucket that rushes. You are surprised that the guy who recently" repaired "the ship, stolen money?" - Jason Jay Smart, a leading correspondent of the Kyiv Post, wrote on Jason Jason Smart. At least a few commentators on the network joked that the best option for the crew would be to add to a port in Florida and desert. According to Marcus, Western submarines also sometimes lose these panels made of rubber.

Images of the US Virginia Navy submarine with missing panels were also posted on the X site, which caused rapid discussions. According to a well-known naval researcher and journalist H. I. Satton, the problem can be in the titanium corps of submarines of the class "Yasen-M". In 2020, he wrote for forbes. com that submarines were one of the most complex engineering tasks due to changes in temperature and pressure they feel. "The Russian fleet operating in harsh Arctic conditions faces similar problems.

Their problems are further intensified With noticeable scars on which the coverage has come, understand that this is a common problem that reflects the difficult conditions of operation. The loss of panels will not affect the operational capabilities, but other experts believe that this is another proof that the Russian fleet is quite negligent in the service of its submarines. "Kazan" was put into operation only in May 2001, and its hike to Cuba was strengthened by the Kremlin.

One can only imagine what "Kazan" will look like before returning to Russia. Probably not better than a crew after five days in harbor. Peter Suchyu is Michigan journalist.
