The Oscars are good boats, built primarily to knock out US carrier fleets by spamming ASMs. They're an ASuW boat for certain, not an ASW, but as Kap says, that's not to say they don't have teeth, but I'd much rather tangle with an Oscar than a late model Akula.  |
That would depend on the situation at hand to some extent which one is more dangerous but to a surface vessel the Oscar is much more dangerous than an Akula when you take into consideration the stand off range of its cruise missiles the Oscar makes a very good area denial weapon system.
