Submarine & Other Matters

I publish analysis about subs, other naval matters, nuclear weapons and broad political issues. Unlike most advanced countries Australian submarine changes are very slow. The first Collins LOTE may be limited to optronic masts (?) and only ready in 2030 (?). Triumphant Trump may decide to cancel Biden's "Democrat" AUKUS Virginia offer because the US Navy needs all operational SSNs right through to the 2040s. My colleagues Shawn C and Gessler are excellent writers. Pete

This paper do not reflect the relaity facing Russian subs against Soviet subs. In the former time, they were mass producing, because of a very low level of reliability.
Today, with lesse submarines, they have to maintain a higher level of reliability to sustain a so called equivalent operational activity.
Which is a revolution not yet completely achieved by the Russian shipyards ...

Where you claim:

This paper does not reflect the reality facing Russian subs against Soviet subs.

Do you have any RECENT links, sources or evidence to prove what the reality is.
