We are investigating the Alfa class (Project 705 Lira ), the most impressive and feared Soviet nuclear-powered attack submarine of the First Cold War. #submarine #sovietnavy #coldwar
Why did the U.S.S.R. design a superior submarine, like the Alfa class?
Could or did the Alfa class dive below 1,000 metres?
Was the Alfa class all successful?
Why did Russia retire these submarines too early?

Welcome to our new content. As the Weapon Detective, we are investigating modern weapon systems of the Second Cold War. The Weapon Legends is about the older weapon systems. We tell their epic stories, which made them a legend. The Weapon Legends investigates these stories, reads between the lines, analyzes, and tells the untold. You can find technical information, historical backgrounds, what happened during the development processes, combat experience and political projection. Let the wisdom of history show us what the future will be. Let’s investigate the veteran weapons of the past together.

Just out of interest... what country are you from? I can't place the accent. I just wondered what your home armed forces were.

@@jamesjross Thanks for your interest. It is not a one-person job. We have a team. But, our narrator is a Turkish-American.

As a "person" raised on " Hunt fot Red Octobrr", playing "Harpoon" on pc I was pretty well interested in sll these combat vessells. But I had no idea about really small size of Alpha class. So thank you very much for this movie

Excellent video as always. The submarine of Captain Tupolev, who tried to catch and destroy the Red October but finally be sunk, was the Alpha class.

She is excellent and your talent about contextualize is awesome. I have never bored while wathching. The visuals and your narrator are stunning. Can you give us a clue about feature video? I am looking forward it.

Excellent video . The Alfa class subs were fast as hell, but to noisy and not fast enough for anti sub warfare's helicopters . Even the Victor class was easy to detect . The french navy declassified few years ago an incident happened in 1981, when a Victor was following the Clémenceau in the french territorials water . A F70 frigate and a WG13 Lynx chase the Victor during several hours and forced her to surface before escorting her in the territorial waters .

In the early 1970's, a Victor was able to sneak into Holy Loch, Scotland, sat on the bottom, and waited for an American boomer to leave port. The plan was to then follow the missile sub on its patrol. The Victor would've gone unnoticed if the American sub's Captain hadn't decided to do a test dive while still in the shallow loch. The two subs collided.

Just saying Victor isn't very helpful. The three different Victor classes were very different. Victor I was practically not designed for noise reduction at all, Victor II had some minor optimizations, and Victor III was practically a completely different sub. They were no Los Angeles, but the Victor IIIs genuinely were very quiet SSNs. Regardless, ASW helos and ASROCs had the issue of relying on the Mk46, which, while excellent, wasn't fast enough to reliably engage an aware Alfa.

A submarine that stayed in port most of the time. Seems like a dream job for the sailors involved.

One very awesome class of SSNs

The height of humanity's ability to make whatever they like has been and gone. 1969 is the year the peak happened in my opinion. Cheers.

One Senior Sonarman on a UK SSN in the early 1980's described the sound the Alpha class made on exercise in the Barents Sea when hitting full speed as similar to taking a metal bucket , filling it with bolts and bits of metal and rattling it around like a pneumatic jack hammer, they could track them from 200+ miles away without really trying

Ah, the Alfa Class submarine. I've wanted to learn more bout the Konovalov. All I know is that had a good commanding officer, Captain 2nd rank Viktor Tupolev, and that he descended from aristocracy. There was no way tht he was an arrogant ass. 🤣🤣🤣
