Oooo. FINALLY! The Russians go smart!

I must say. I really don't understand their choice to retain the SSAZ, if that's what they really did before the Gepard. You lose so much sensitivity and SA with that design. It is an understandable design for an analog sonar (no memory capability and direct analogue conversion only), but the Akula's sonar should be digital and by some sources digital was even earlier than that. Even funnier is that the DEMON is a waterfall (thus a digital unit...)

It would have been even more fun had they used the Perry's sonar as a base. But probably the software doesn't quite support that.

Nothing much special here. Just the Western system grafted on.
