Wooww ! :p

Powerful war machine ofc with unusual arrangment for a Russian as US Subs TT on the sides, only 533 mm no 650 and " one hull and half ".
Wide as an Akula 13.5 m but more long 119 m, able to move to 31 kn, dive max 600 m as Akula, Sierra, Oscar, seems reactor have a service life of 25/30 years which is a big progress for Russian.

Small crew for a big Sub 90 sailors, Russians have less numerous than US.
62 weapons !

Seems the new variant 885M don't have a pump jet.

developed by the Vityaz Machine-Building Plant (Ishimbay, Bashkiria). The Tor-M2DT mobile launching unit (DT-30PM-T1, MoD designation: 9A331MDT) is supposed to include the 9A331MT launcher and a life support module.

that says Russia can outgun the UK on the battlefield, with technology and with propaganda.

According to the Times, the report warned that Russian weapons, including rocket launchers and air defence systems, were more powerful than their British equivalents, giving Russian President Vladimir Putin "significant capability edge".

A planned £3.5bn fleet of lightly armoured British army vehicles was said to be "disproportionately vulnerable" to Russian mortar and rocket fire.

The Times continues: "Marked 'official-sensitive', the assessment by the army's warfare branch also warned that the UK and its Nato allies were 'scrambling to catch up' with Russia's ability to use electronic means to hijack enemy drones and disrupt other military transmissions.

"It described Russia's mastery of tactics including jamming and hacking as a 'real game changer', which helped to level the playing field between Moscow and the West by threatening Nato aircraft, GPS-guided weapons and the ability of soldiers on the ground.

"Physical weapons are not the only tools in Russia's arsenal that outmatch the West. The report said that soldiers were at risk of being targeted over Facebook and Twitter."

The playing field is levelled despite the fact that NATO military expenditure is a multiple of that of Russia?

I'll pull here my reaction to the summary of UK and France Militaries by FORBIN:

FORBIN thanks for summing this up, it's truly scary though:

(410 guns in total)
... almost exactly 74 years ago Montgomery had one thousand barrels at El Alamein

(French Navy personnel: 37 thousand)
about the size of the Austro-Hungarian Navy one hundred years ago ...

you don't need to tell me I'm mixing apples with oranges

(France and UK scored #37 and #42 !! it's tragicomic it takes some time to scroll down this list to find them)

just look at Syria:
  • no tanks? no breakthrough!
  • no barrage? no breakthrough!
  • think airpower can save a base when enemy is approaching? it can't!
LOL and you may tell me Western AESA radars have more modules or other stuff which vendors sold to you

And the use of those 1000 guns were described as a noisy outburst and compared with the 20 000 used during Operation Uranus! It seems to me that while no doubt some countries are better in spending their military budgets but also that these descriptions are highly unreliable.

... well, from what I recall, Communistic Military History portrayed Africa as "peripheral" battlefield, but you know what: the number of captured Africa Korps soldiers, and captured 6th Army soldiers, was about the same (two hundred thousand range) ... and what's ironic the Russian concentration on Stalingrad basically saved eight hundred thousand soldiers after failed Operation Edelweiss (I definitely DON'T say it was the plan LOL!) and later von Manstein was able to regain initiative (1943) ... oops, it's off topic here
