Bangladesh Navy

The KILO class is already more or less obsolete - as far as I know.

The follow on from the Rubin submarine design bureau is the improved KILO (Project 636) Class and the Lada (Project 677) Class, images below.

LADA 677

The Lada class features a new anti-sonar coating (termed 'Molniya') for the hull resulting in low acoustic signature. Submarines are fitted with sophisticated sonar equipment with bow and flank arrays, as well as towed array. The coating causes the new Lada class to be even ten times more quieter than the KILO 636.

The submarine has a solid hull made of unique highstrength steel alloys. •According to Rubin, the ship features a new efficient antisonar coating of the hull new generation “Molniya” (“Lightning”). •The submarine hull also has a new multi-layered rubber cover providing almost complete absorption of own noises generated by submarine mechanisms, and sonar echo signals. The submarine, its propulsion plant, machinery and weapons systems can be controlled either from the main control room or from separate battle stations.


All russian submarines controls are in knobs and buttons contrary to american LED and touchscreen. I wanted to see control room of current Yasen class submarines from Russia. Any luck from anybody?

Well in a sub - its all about reliability. When you are running almost blind hundreds of feet under the sea-surface, you sometimes need analog reliability instead of costly or fancy electronic led buttons or touchscreens. That said, even our Ming class subs were upgraded with electronic displays. The main controls are however reliable electro-hydraulic command control for the actuation surfaces.

I'm sorry pictures of Yasen class interiors are hard to come by because only the second example was launched in 2015 for sea trials. I haven't seen any circulating on the web. Since one of the most modern Russian subs, it could have electronic displays or touchscreens, most modern Russian airliners have them too (all Made in Russia by local vendors). Since even US subs of the late 90's had electronic touchscreens some two decades ago, Russian subs of recent vintage should have them without doubt.

The Yasen class attack SSBN was delayed because of the Borei class SSBN carrying ICBMs were given development and build priority.

This is interesting because Indian Navy was thinking about leasing a few Yasen class examples....NATO calls this the 'Graney' class. Russians have christened the first example as 'Severodvinsk'.


Graney class submarine

No definitive or comprehensive range of pictures exist of Project 885, a hunter killer submarine otherwise known as Yasen class – and designated by NATO as Graney class. For all the column inches this boat has generated

specific hard facts are hard to find. However, if the model and press launch pictures are to be believed than the Yasen class represents a departure from normal Russian practice. Firstly, it appears to have only one propeller which remained covered at the boats launch and secondly it would appear that its ballistic missiles are stored aft of the conning tower.

A photo of the single propeller is shown below. The third photo in this section is of an

American Polaris ballistic missile submarine of the Lafayette class (USS Sam Rayburn), and show how the silo hatches might be arranged now that that it appears missiles are to be stored aft of the conning tower.

The Yasen class is thought to be based on the Akula class and Alfa class submarines and is projected to replace Russia’s Soviet-era attack submarines. Ten Yasen class are planned by 2020 with one already undergoing sea trials (2011) and a second is to be commissioned in 2015.

Yasen class submarines are listed as having a submerged displacement of 11,800 tons, is 390 ft in length and a submerged speed of 28 (or 35) kts.


It is known that construction programme, started in Dec 1993, has suffered as series of stoppages due to finance and ‘technical problems’. The first of the Yasen class, K-329, was scheduled for launch in 1998 but by 2004 work was only ‘resuming’ and ‘moving forward.’

In part this was due to the priority given to the new SSBN Borei class which will carry ballistic nuclear missiles. Nevertheless, work on a second Yasen class submarine (the Kazan) began in July 2009.

Graney class submarines are made of low magnetic steel, with a spherical bow sonar. Precise details are not available as the first voyage of K-329 took place in Sept 2011 but educated guesses have been made about its improved quietness, new generation of reactor and its range or armaments. Some consider by that the Graney class will be only slightly quieter than the improved Akula class.

These are likely to include the Shipwreck missile (see P-700 Granit above in VLS configuration), and the supersonic anti-ship cruise missile, the P-800 (Oniks/Yakhont/BrahMos II, as shown below) which has a range of about 200 miles.

The Chinese equivalent of the Yakhont/BrahMos is the DF-26 shown below.

There is a likelihood that a long-range cruise missile will be developed with a range of up to 3,100 miles, thus out-distancing the 1,000 mile range of the current P-700 Granit .One source estimates that 24 cruise missiles will be carried together with munitions for its eight 650 m/m torpedo tubes.

Yasen class submarines will operate a VLS, or vertical launch systems, which allows surface and submarines to launch a variety of pre-loaded missiles. These can be “hot” launch using the missile’s own exhaust, or ‘cold’ launches – each have their own advantages.

OR THE INDIANS IN THE SWATCH OF NO GROUND, YOUR CALL
.
ANYWAYS SITTING IN MALE, MALDIVES, BE PREPARED WITH SCUBA GEARS, YOU WILL NEED THEM IN NEAR FUTURE.

Indian company getting kicked out from even WEST BENGAL, NOW HAS SET THEIR EYES ON SUNDARBANS.

IS IT BECAUSE OF THEIR EVIL INTENTION TO ESTABLISH STRATEGIC BASES IN THE "SWATCH OF NO LAND"?, VERY CLOSE TO kHULNA, in the Bay of Bengal

Just a perfect location for hiding SUBMARINES, WHICH COULD AVOID DETECTION, DUE TO ITS VAST DEPTH.

Now I am really worried,indeed.

Just google SWATCH OF NO GROUND

Marine geology
A zone 50 m wide extending from the island of Ceylon and the Coromandel coast to the head of the bay, and thence southwards through a strip embracing the Andaman and Nicobar islands, is bounded by the 100 fathom line of sea bottom; some 50 m. beyond this lies the 500-fathom limit. Opposite the mouth of the Ganges, however, the intervals between these depths are very much extended by deltaic influence.

Swatch of No Ground is a 14 km-wide deep sea canyon of the Bay of Bengal. The deepest recorded area of this valley is about 1340 m.[The submarine canyon is part of the Bengal Fan, the largest submarine fan in the world

EVENT DETAILS
SWATCH OF NO GROUND MARINE PROTECTED AREA EXPEDITION


Announced on October 27, 2014, the Swatch of No Ground (SoNG-MPA) is Bangladesh's first marine protected area. It is located in the Bay of Bengal at the head of a submarine canyon. It spans approximately 672 square miles (1,738 square kilometers) and is more than 900 meters in depth in some locations. The area is a key breeding and spawing ground for dolphins, whales, sharks and turtles. The marine protected area was established for the long-term protection of cetanceans that inhabit waters offshore of Bangladesh.

Expedition in the Swatch of No Ground Marine Protected Area provide the ideal opportunity to opportunity to show solidarity for the conservation of marine life that proud us all and raise national awareness of the importance of marine life in our lives.

NOW WHAT? MY ENLIGHTENED @wise RAIN MAN,AND @ BLUE SKY,TIME FOR YOU TO RESPOND LOGICALLY BASED ON SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACTS

MOREOVER POST 1971, RUSSIANS SUBS WERE STATIONED THERE AS WELL AND SUPPLIES WERE PROVIDED BY THE RUSSIAN TRAWLERS PROVIDED TO US AS GIFTS+ RUSSIAN NAVAL PERSONNEL WERE ALSO IN CHITTAGONG+ KHULNA, SUPPOSEDLY TO SALVAGE SUNKEN SHIPS, DESPITE THE FACT THAT COMPLETE NAVAL WAS ENFORCED ALL ACROSS THE BAY OF BENGAL BY THE INDIAN NAVY+ FORMER U.S.S.R.

WHY THEN SINK THE SHIPS ANCHORED IN OUR PORTS, POSING NO THREATS,WHATSOEVER IN A FULL NAVAL BLOCKADES BOMBED AND SUNK, AT PORTS BY I.A.F?

TO CRIPPLE OUR PORTS, SO THAT SUBSEQUENTLY IN THE NAME OF SALVAGING THEM ,YOU ALL, COULD YOU ALL MAKE YOUR PRESENCE LEGITIMATE?

ITS HIGH TIME TO REVEAL THE REAL TRUTH,BEFORE THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE CHINA NOW.:smitten::smitten::smitten::smitten:
