I see no lines, I would say she is underway on her own power. Plus that is a Song class, they are only about 10 years old.

Did they go shopping at a Russian Navy fire sale?

The key word here is 'Fire'...

Won't be able to hear engine or propeller sounds with all that flow noise. Superb acoustic camouflage. A submarine so noisy, you can't perform TMA on it.

Not unless they refitted the Type 039 class boats with the Type 039G class sail/fin.

Notice it does not have the stepped sail:

Just like everything else Chinese - cheap, knockoff, false, inflated, fake and garbage underneath the veneer of impressiveness.

Here's the obvious answer: they went shopping at a Russian yard sale.

We had this happen back in 1970 in the Med on patrol ...
sonar supervisor blue crew Sam Houston SSBN 609.

sonar platform 200 feet 4kts

Port to port 2,000 yards just a hiss in a hurry

Best guess Russian November in a hurry

Too quick for BQQ 3C

recorder saw it on BQR-7

so what did we do

Conn/sonar fast moving contact 270

Conn eye, "keep me informed"

Conn/sonar lost contact in the baffles

Conn eye

SWEET HEAVENS!
Once I had to drive a car, which, I think, defined the term "beater," across town, a 2-3 mile trip...and every second, I was afraid something was about to break. I can only imagine thats what this felt like. Don't sneeze..

btw, the whole front end practically fell off when we put it on the trailer to take it to the scrapyard.

From the sounds of this, the November managed to sneak or at least stumble its way to within 2km of a US SSBN and only popped up when it accelerated.

How did it get so close? I thought the Americans have much better sonar!
