The Russians you say? Care to point to yer source of this nonsense?

What I see of the french boats are 4 warm spots on the ocean floor.

gawd.. wouldn't that be fun?

there are no french boats that are a threat.. above or below the surface. and i'd bet my months pay all 4 of those french nukes have a SSN in trail right now.

about the only boat the ruski's ever produced that was a pain in the bellybutton for us was the lil diesel kilo's.

and they can stay hidden only as long as their air and batts last... maybe 2 days tops.. at less than 5 knots. any faster, and we've got 'em pegged.. run the diesel to recharge.. pegged. makes for a pretty decent coastal defense weapon, but this sure ain't a blue water attack boat like a Los Angeles Class SSN.

The Akula is the quietest Russian nuclear submarine ever designed, and the low noise levels came as a surprise to Western intelligence. Russia claims the Akula is the quietest of its domestically built submarines and is fitted with acoustic countermeasure equipment. Noise reduction efforts include rafting the propulsion plant, anechoic tiles on the outside and inside of the hulls and possibly other measures such as active noise cancellation. Nonetheless, the American Improved Los Angeles class retained a decisive edge in silencing compared to the Akuka I. The Project 971A Akula II incorporated an improved double layer silencing system for the power train. According to Russian sources, this variant had noise emissions that were roughly the level of a basic Los Angeles and that of the Improved Los Angeles at slow speeds. At medium or high speeds the Improved Los Angeles design retains an acoustic advantage according to Russian sources. The Project 971 uses advanced sound insulation techniques that may not withstand Russian service conditions, and it may actually be noiser than earlier designs using more basic quieting technologies if poorly built or improperly maintained. The Project 971 is said by Russian sources to be at a distinct disadvantage in sensors, with a sonar suite that is roughly one-third as sensitive as the Los Angeles, able to track only two targets simultaneously (as opposed to the multiple target tracking capabilities of the American system).

*yawn*

oh.. well.. if we need to worry about these.. if they ever get to sea... it sure won't be because they are a 'threat'.

At least two and perhaps as many as four Improved Akulas entered service between 1992 and 1995. An additional Improved Akula I [K.267 Drakon] was launched in 1994 and delivered to the Russian Navy in 1995, though subsequently repossessed by the shipyard due to lack of payment. The boat reportedly remained in the possession of the Komsomolosk yard, which was said to be trying to sell her. According to some sources at least one [and probably two] additional Akula-Is remained undelivered [and almost certainly largely unfinished] at Komsomol'sk-na-Amur.

Am I reading this wrong or is Nilsen10 saying he loved the terrorist attack on the Cole?

Oh boy

think you are reading things very wrong mr funkedup.

I stated facts, but you guys are so wound up that you blow on anything.

I have never "picked a side" in this french/US bashing thing but just telling the folks on this board that there are more to warfare than expencive shiny tomahawks and laser guided eggs. There are people involved and technology is not everything to warfare.

What makes me upset is that alot if folks on this board is looking forward to a war with popcorn and widscreen tv's and thinking its gonna be a great show.

There are humans involved in any war and an iraqi sivilian is not worth less than a US soldier or sivilian.

REAL PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE GUYS and they have families just like you and me, so take one second and think about that.

PS, i never said anything on the post about liking the attack on the COLE, just a fact !

That is all for tonight

Cabby44 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 17, 2003, 05:20:19 PM »

The Cole is refitted and the suicide goatherds who put the hole in her died, obviously, in the attack. And the goatherds who planned and organized the Cole attack are either dead, captured, or soon will be.

Yeah, f*k'n with the US Navy is real smart......

France`s anti submarine satelite system is best so far

Nilsen · « **Reply #29 on:** March 17, 2003, 05:25:38 PM »

true Cabby44 and im happy for that.

Why is stating facts on this board considered a hostile act?

Shukins i could say what i said to your face anyday, would you beat me up or what?

Do you smash your TV when the news brings you facts?

What was wrong about what i said Shuckins?

pls explain!
