Don't military subs "lurk" and "disappear" all the time with regularity? By design even?

View Quote We're pretty much the all time world champs at hide and seek, if we're looking for you, we'll probably find you and there's a good chance you won't know you've been found unless we want you to know. The Yansen class subs are pretty damn quiet though, quieter than the Belgorod. Mostly because they are new, Ivan doesn't take his stuff in often to get the oil changed or tires rotated. |

Why can't we make cameras like the ones on Hubble and Voyager II?
Cereal question... |

We're all doomed!!! That thing can create a tsunami 5000 feet high!!! It can flood any country!!!!

Well, the optical sensors started out that way anyway. They were left overs from a NRO build program that were given to NASA for science stuff. KH11 optics maybe? |

Quoted: Old ass tech thats been in constant repair for thirty years. View Quote Eh. Russian subs are not properly maintained and get louder and louder as they age. Belgorod knows she is being tracked and will be sank as soon as she fires a salvo. But that dorsal matter because she can still be a huge thorn in NATOs side. |

Quoted: Why can't we make cameras like the ones on Hubble and Voyager II? Cereal question... View Quote Hubble had the same mirror as a KH-11, 240cm primary. KH-11s had a 0.64MP CCD sensor... small. Anyway, moving target and they (NRO) aren't gonna publicly show you the best pics they are capable of. |

I'd be scared to death to be a Russian submariner and have always had upmost compassion for sailors on lost subs Russians included but id have to get over it and enjoy it if this one has an accident ,my father was a submariner in ww2 a lost sub would be an awful way to go

I've been doing some calculations on the publicly available information about the BeeGee, and I'm pretty sure I figured out what they're up to.
Those crazy fuckers are going to amputate the Van Allen belts. Sea, view it from that perspective and it all makes sense. |

Quoted: Well let's put this into perspective. The Beirut blast was just less than 1 kiloton. The Posiedon nuke torpedo at the smallest yield is 2 Megatons (2,000 kilotons) You can imagine what that would do if detonated 1 mile offshore near a major city. Yes the wave it would create would be a few thousand feet or more. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oKFupx9x0-k/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/INTERACTIVE-How-big-was-the-Beirut-explosion.png?w=770&resize=770%2C770 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: We're all doomed!!!

(You would be too if you had to provide hillery with sexual services) Because that's what Perkin Elmer knew how to make. I don't believe the story about how one guy screwed up. Maybe he did, but it wasn't like he miscalculated the grind, he just forgot to change the mirror design from earth looking to deep space and infinite focus. |
