That first picture Borei it is not.

That is the Yankee "Akson" used to test a new spherical sonar that is more than likely on the Borei.

As of yet there are no pictures of the Borei apart from the stern.

bTW where is your friend aaken?

Absoloutely sure

If that is the new Borei then we have nothing to fear. Looks very shoddy.

Whatever it is, the rear picture clearly shows a shroud around the prop. Or at least possibly one.
