But Kursk:118 lost.?!...(if im not mistaking)
And yes, most of the countries wich follow the russian military doctrine perfers automation over man,look just at the tanks for example:M1A1,M1A2,Leopard A2,A3,Challenger.....All of thme has crew of 4...but all russian tanks since T-60 has crew of 3(loader is swaped for semi computerised loading device)
Back to the subs there is a bunch of systems that u can automate:Torpedo loading,reactor operations,diesel and batery maintenance....BUT i will citate 1 thing i read in book "Tank comanders 1916-1995"....It is nice to have complete 3 tank crews with only 9 man but automatic loader cant stand on watch,treat wounds ,do maintanance and make coffe....So i think this is the cruicial thing:If all goes as planned u want automatic ...If soething is wrong and automatic fails u r screwd in that case u need real man to help u!
