800 kg/cm2 equals 11379 psi.

Could these re-classifications to "special purpose" have been purely political in nature? Attempts to get around treaty limitations perhaps that they thought might work and then thought better of? It seems like a lot of these were reclassified KS but didn't necessarily have any work done to give them any different capability - but that could also have been budget issues.

Holy hell, never heard that before. Captain has a heart attack, patrols 4 more weeks radio silent.

Crazy Ivan indeed!

What!?!?! They don't defect to Murica!? I have been lied to! lol

I went back to the source and it is 800 kg per cubic centimeter.

Aaron Amick

I think it' because of 3 things: SSBN unreliability, missile unreliability and they had a lot of warheads ; many more than than NATO.

On the slide concerning K-140 667AM at 9:00 minutes in. You say the primary loop hit 400 KG/sq. CM, but the slide says 800. Just wondering which is correct. Love the briefs BTW!

Jive, why did the Russians make so many more SSBN submarines during the cold war?

Gannon Woods

See previous comments

K-140 has a missile with a 500MT warhead. Seems a bit large - 500kt perhaps?

Yesterday, could not put down the videos. Went straight through all 6. Thanks again for the excellent work

DrPatreon

Thanks!

I could not find the target location for those missile shots, but Russia does have missile fire ranges in the Kara Sea and Barents sea.

BG213... I my comment in where the missiles went, was not covering test shots. Jive made comment that one of the sub, forget which one, when time to deactivate it for the treaty (and useful life), instead of taking the real missiles out at port, they went out and shot them live into the ocean someplace. He did. It say where. I was wondering where the all stages went, and the warheads into the ocean (if they took off the warhead at port, why not pull the whole missile out then. When they launched the missile instead of taking them out, where did the parts and warheads end up?

6I am trying to watch part two but to enable full screen I get this pop up that says "who can see this post? All patreons"And it covers the icon to enable full screen. Obviously I am a patron and don't require being told that.
