"One of the most secret projects in Moscow": the British edition told about the Russian "submarine for underwater sabotage"

Russia will soon get into service with a new submarine for "underwater sabotage" capable of destroying Western cable networks. The author writes about this in an article for the British edition of The Mirror.

Chris Hughes argues that the new Russian submarine, the AS-15 Kashalot, will be launched from the carrier submarine Belgorod, capable of diving two miles (3,2 km), where it will damage cable networks in order to disrupt the British economy.

After separation from Belgorod, Kashalot can also place explosive devices on the bottom to destroy cables, or install devices capable of cutting them.

- the author writes.

In addition, energy pipelines or, in case of war, two new British aircraft carriers could become targets of the Russian submarine's attack.

According to the text of the article, "Moscow's naval intelligence spies" have been trying for several months to disrupt the economies of Western countries by damaging cable networks, and the Kashalot project is one of Moscow's most secret naval projects undergoing reconstruction for special deep-sea sabotage operations.

To counter the threats from Vladimir Putin, Hughes writes, the Royal Navy intends to build a multipurpose ocean-going reconnaissance ship, but it will only be ready by 2024.

This submarine is quite capable of all these things.
If necessary, he will cut it.
That's what they built for.
And it can also install the equipment for reading information.
(Although personally I have no idea how you can seamlessly connect to an UNDERWATER fiber optic cable.)
You might think that the mattresses themselves are not ready to do the same things.

Yes, white and fluffy.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

They will torment and force small-britters. The fact that there is and may not mean at all that the Russians are doing dirty tricks. Although they judge by themselves: if they had, they would probably do it!

[Reserve buildbat]

Not ready. For there is nothing. There is no corresponding technique

[Eldorado]

Unlike us, American submarines have airlock chambers for saboteurs.

[Reserve buildbat]

With which we congratulate them. Our saboteurs calmly leave through torpedo tubes, not to mention the fact that there are also submarines with special airlock chambers and decompression chambers.

I've never heard that they climbed back through the TA ...
Could you throw a reference?

[Reserve buildbat]

I can not I was talking about the exit. And maybe then you will share a reference, how many mattress boats are equipped with these airlock chambers for saboteurs? It is desirable to clarify how many submarines are now in service at the mattresses? Well, clean neighing

[Shurik70]

The first time I saw a gateway for divers was when I was a child in the film "The Secret of Two Oceans" (a 1955 film of the USSR).
And since then I am convinced that such a gateway is necessary for a combat submarine.
The saboteurs must not only be released, but also be able to return back.

Plus, definitely .. And what is the problem of returning? Difficulties, of course, are present (in the USSR-solved). What is stopping now?

[Fan-fan]

I have a book "History of underwater espionage against the USSR" by Sontag S. and Drew K. 2001. It describes how the Americans connected to a submarine cable in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, a cable from Kamchatka to the mainland. Divers operated from the submarine, periodically taking cassettes with recordings and so they had access to classified data for several years. After this shame, our people did not even turn their ears away, since the Americans again connected to the underwater cable, already in the Barents Sea.

[KCA]

Two miles deep, the airlock is very, very useful.

And not why. Through the servers, that there is so much information on their territory that it is impossible to scoop up to scoop.

[antivirus]

and our design bureaus send aircraft carrier projects like that - they agree - that's why we don't build, just play giveaway.

Ready.
There is something! (Only shallower depths.)
And they used it. At least in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. (Operation Ivy Bells)

The fact of the matter is that "the depths are less." And the chimney is lower and the smoke is thinner.

Our people, it seems, were not caught for such activities.
(Well, or modestly, both sides are silent about such acts ...)

[Reserve buildbat]

So if not caught, then there is nothing to make noise about. They got caught - that's the noise

[forcecom]

the question is that for all this, a nuclear submarine is not needed, with this 12 years ago the "Harpsichord" and similar uninhabited deep-sea divers coped well with this.

Can I have some links, explanations?
Of course, those who wish will find it anyway.
However, out of respect for the readers, it is customary to give links, excerpts, or designate the search area.))).

[forcecom]

Alas, it is impossible, although I finished working on the subject of "Clavisin" 10 years ago, one document I signed is still in force, so I can only say that "Harpsichord" already then could search for "oblong" objects on the seabed and conduct their survey, what kind of examination he carried out entirely depended on the equipment located in the "scientific compartment" of the apparatus. And over the past 10 years, as in one verse, S.Ya. Marshak "the dog could grow up"

What, and links are impossible ?! ... The search engine gave out a lot of everything ... Starting from the first persons of "Rubin" for TASS back in 2016, and far into the depths, - in Soviet times (which is expected), - even in his youth I read about expeditions from which the AUVs were born ...

All results
Harpsichord-2R-PM - New defense order ... It is interesting to get acquainted with similar enemy vehicles ...
Of course, there are no exact performance characteristics of the "Harpsichord" ... There are reports of successful tests that confirmed the declared characteristics (I don't know where they tested at 2000m and, even more so, at 6000m ...).
But, as I understand, these are piece things ... (2 pieces, not counting "Junon", "Surragats" ..) However, they write that the production documentation is ready ...

[forcecom]

You can find links to publicly available articles / information yourself, but you want to hear about specific facts of application, right? But this is already happening under different "vultures" of horror :)

Not at all ... I do not divulge myself, I do not force others to take such actions. According to the rules of warfare, even captured enemies cannot be tortured))) ...
It's just that I heard about the "Harpsichords" for the first time ... I lagged behind, however. I saw "Mira" from afar, "Paysis" patted on Baikal ...
Another question arises: why, while creating advanced devices and systems, we cannot (as the local naval fleet claim, there is no refutation of this ...) to provide our Navy with either the required number of minesweepers, or, the same minesweepers, with remote detection systems, neutralization of modern min?

[forcecom]

unfortunately I'm in the process of moving, so I'm not sure if I can find the archives I need, but if I succeed, I'll post here a couple of "portraits" of the civilian version of "Klavisin". As for the second question, when I was at the IPMT FEB RAS in Vladivostok, they had more than a dozen different AUVs in their testing laboratory, they were able to offer something to the Emergencies Ministry, something went for the "cardon", but most of them remained at the stage of the engineering version, since no one in the relevant departments was interested in their development (foreign devices are more expensive, which means that it will be possible to warm up on their purchase and look prettier, just like a Mercedes vesch) maybe this is part of the answer to your question?

There have been cases of cable damage by the teeth of a sperm whale. Moreover, the sperm whale dives and hunts to depths of 4 km. It was assumed that he took the cables for the tentacles of squid.

everything is as usual, first a "horror story" is invented and told, and then they ask for money for a new ship, well, without which it is simply not possible ...

[tralflot1832]

But why do we need a cable at the bottom of the sea, maybe more and more globally. Someone will press a button and a cockroach, plague Borka, is trapped. Look at the Tower there is nothing unusual at the bottom of Tomshcha?

[The leader of the Redskins]

Why do we need cables at the bottom of the sea
Aha! Do you know why copper is nowadays !?

Honestly, the last time I handed over 60 kg in 2010 did not work out badly, but now how many if a kilogram is 600.

Something is not clear. Now we have all the new weapons only on paper and in cartoons, then all Alyarm, here they are already attacking relatives.
We would have already decided.

Good evening Elena
The submarine is so super secret that they write about it in the media both in Russia and abroad. It's just that in this case, the cockerel needs to crow as much as possible in a panic, otherwise they suddenly won't hear it and won't give money for a new trough. Moreover, they will be accused of insulting the crown, if the article does not say that all the evil plans of Russia are only against the "Lady of the Seas" rotten.

But let them sit on the toilet with caution, otherwise anything can happen! Suddenly, some kind of drone pops up.

And third: They will be interesting only if at least someone remembers them.

An interesting miracle is being built here: a boat that carries one more submarine ("Losharik") + 6 - there are "Poseidons". The length of the boat is 184 meters, which is 11 meters longer than the "Shark".

with the aim of destroying the British economy.

You value yourself too highly, everything is much simpler and there is no need to gnaw your cables, and we do not need your economy - we do not need chaos, you will never understand this ...

In an hour, the work of psychiatrists was added! Russophobia turns into insanity, and into paronoia, even thinking about Russia is only bad! Otherwise, everything is an "agent of the Kremlin"! The more opportunities for an average person to have brains, the more likely it is that the Kremlin will recruit, steal, or kill you. And, therefore, about Russia, in which this most terrible Kremlin is located, it is only discouraging to think, otherwise ...

[marchcat]

however, it will not be ready until 2024.

By that time, not a single whole cable will remain on the seabed.

[Podvodnik]

... not a single whole cable will remain on the seabed.

Father-in-law worked on servers in his youth on a cable ship. He told how one "military" could not choose an anchor, so he came to the base. He tore everything that was. The father-in-law had a lot of work then.
The commander was put on trial.
So without a super boat we can. I have experience.

[AVA77]

Oh, how, spies have been damaging the cable for several months, but it is not damaged, the dog is angry. Probably the dynamite is over, they are sawing with a blunt hacksaw.

[Vladimir61]

The entire Western world is in an endless nix from these "evil Russians"! It resembles children's evening gatherings, where everyone wants to tell a more terrible story ... and then, all together, be afraid to run home.

[KCA]

The fiber-optic cable does not need to be "cut", it is enough to bend it a little, civil fishing trawlers and other vessels do an excellent job of this, throwing anchors anywhere, for the sake of this, building a deep-sea manned vehicle, and even a carrier for it, is extremely stupid and wasteful

[Sergey Kulikov_3]

So casually, without pathos, Agent-0021 told the British edition where he got the rainbow bow of distinction and the crusts of a repairman for underwater fiber-optic lines.
