Soviet submarine in Paris

[UglyMowgli]

It was a rumor since 2 days in Paris, a soviet or russian submarine surface in the center of the city near the Louvres museum in the Tulleries garden befor the police can do anything to secure the aera, holligans tags and paint the poor sub :cry:.
I walk to the foutnain and discover it is true:D

At sometime , the mast rises and we can hear the captain (via the interphone systeme) saying in russian : "what is the depth?"

Here some shoot I made

I think its fake.

A submarine could PROBABLY drive on the surface that far, but no way it could havev done it submerged....too shalow

[UglyMowgli]

This submarine is from Alexander Ponomarev, a ex-russian naval enginner who make some artistic concept with submarine. In 1996 he paint a Kilo a make a trip aboard in the arctic ocean

That thing is way too small to be a kilo.

[Linton]

I am not sure that the 1996 painting is a kilo.The shape of the submarine looks wrong.Whiskey perhaps?

[ASWnut101]

Let me put it this way:

Its a too small submarine, yet too big to "surface" in the Seine.

[Linton]

ASWnut I think that if you look carefully it may be in a landlocked pond!!The circular edge of the pond being a bit of a give away

[Kapitan]

Its ment to be a kilo class SSK however it has the sail flair of a tango.

[XabbaRus]

It's a mockup, tabgo sail on some hull structure. For fun, and a laugh.

[Wim Libaers]

That hull looks like cloth draped over some arches. Or, if not cloth, pretty thin sheet metal.

[Oberon]

I dunno...more Russian cost-cutting :nope:


:-j :lol: :-j

That hull looks like cloth draped over some arches. Or, if not cloth, pretty thin sheet metal.

Agreed...there are ripples in the "hull" at the top left side of the first photo.
