1. The submerged displacement of an Oscar II is 18,300, not 24,000. That is less than a single Ohio at 18,750, submerged

after diliberation much work and acctualy seeing an oscar and standing on the upper casing of an oscar i know for a 100% fact the displacement is 24,000 tonne.

i have reaserch russian submarines ever since i first visited russia and that is about 10 years ago. i have spent painful hours researching every class going and im still not done.

im privlaged that i can acctualy go on these vessels and talk first hand to officers and crew many of whom are friends with my stepfather obviously we dont sit and chat about the classified stuff but displacement is not classified and it is 24,000 tonnes and it is officaly recognised.

If detected, the American submarine would just sprint away. The Russians would not fire in persuit, turning an uncomfortable situation into an outright shooting war.

yes its S.O.P but if a collision occored with a oscar then the sub would surface because of damage and thus engauged by russian forces
again the sub would have to surender the russians would boar the vessel and would tow it back to poliyarni where it would be impounded and crew imprisioned (this is fact S.O.P OF NAVAL EXERCISE FOLLOWING MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH FORIGN COUNTERPART)

3. Officers are not non-coms, and regardless of what your friends have told you, most naval analysts have confirmed that Russian non-com training still lags far behind the western equivalent nations.

officers are trained at glasgow and liverpool and are trained also by the royal navy i know this again for fact news papers such as navy news are chipping in on the act there was a article saying that there was russians training in england which they do because i do talk to them i have russians at my college and they are also going into the russian navy

not 100% up to standard but they are nearly there and not far off youve seen the reports of them training with india america japan britain NATO doesnt it show you they can do everything we do and possibly more

ive spent a long time researching kursk 5 years in fact from the day it happend for some one who has been to russia been on a submarine similar to kursk to speak with officers and crew to acctualy get info fast is well pretty good.

i know things that are not classified that just been elabarated hence the displacement the speed the weapons i dont know much more than the average joe in some places but in others i know far more ive been there ive seen it i know what it looks like ive felt it

so please dont tell me crap that i know of and know it aint true thanks
