There are relatively few devices of this type that were originally created for transportation to DDS. SubSEAL manufactured by the British company James Fisher Defense (JFD) is one such SDV.


As for the design, the SubSEAL unit follows the successful SDV Mk.VIII model in many ways. In addition to some of the more modern elements, the biggest difference lies in the controlled low-speed main power plant in the aft, which eliminates the need to install rear steering surfaces:

    It would be funny to look at the appearance of these fighters, at a depth of 30 nautical miles;) And so, a serious device, in its class.

    And where are Bengal lights, crackers, tourist magnets? Places are not enough, and a range of 50 nM is not enough. 12 terro-waterways (round-trip - 24). THOSE. it’s clear where the boat will be, if anything ...
