Really, they designed the kilo for sitting off the coast of Norway, Petropavlosk, and the Baltic Sea in order to deter amphibious assault. Hunting subs was for nukes and other platforms.

Yes Seaqueen but he was not emphasizing on killing the 688 but rather his own Kilo poor acoustic performance. He expected the Kilo to be more silent. And that the 688 to be noisier than him crawling at 4 knots which is a logical expectation imo. |
And the Kilo is, in fact, quieter than the 688 at 4 knots in LWAMI (by about 2.5 points).
The Kilo still gets detected first because it has a POS sonar.
