Russia closed the giant submarine with wings twice as large as a jet

Russia is preparing to build a new submarine, twice the size of the world's largest commercial jet aircraft, and will soon be introduced to explore the Arctic.

Russia is developing a huge new submarine in hopes of harnessing untapped natural resources in the Arctic and conducting scientific research.

It is known that the Arctic Research submarine is a product of the Rubin Design Bureau, which created the Soviet Typhoon missile submarines in the 1980s.

The Arctic Research Submarine is a product of the Rubin Design Bureau.

This ship will be the largest civilian tanker ever and will be powered by a nuclear reactor.

The construction of this giant submarine will begin in 2020. The ship is designed to conduct exploration investigations using sonar (also called audio underwater navigation system) with Very low frequency, can allow access to the sea floor.

According to a report in Popular Mechanics, the special feature is that the submarine will have two sonar- like engines that can be retracted into the hull. This will allow Arctic Research submarines to capture images around in all directions.

Experts compare the new submarine to twice as large as the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft today.

HI Sutton, analyst of Covert Shores submarine site, said: "There is no possibility that the submarine wing is used to support the same as an airplane.

This will reduce the performance of the vessel as the vessel will have to continuously use the balance control system to maintain the correct depth. The use of such submarine wings also causes noise to make the sonar inefficient. "

Sutton added: "There will be many places in the Arctic, places where submarines cannot pass because its wings are too wide to be able to avoid protruding ice columns. These wings can expand below the line. hundred meters or even down to the seabed ".

Civilian submarines will not have weapons. However, it will have underwater torpedo launchers in place to allow researchers to conduct further exploration to reach "mysterious" areas.

According to experts, the submarine is estimated to be about 135.5 meters long, 14.4 meters wide and weighs 13,820 tons. With a wingspan of up to 100 meters, a giant submarine can reach a maximum speed of 12.6 knots.

With an "oversized" design, submarines can reach speeds of up to 12.6 knots.(Photo: HISutton).

The new Russian submarine is expected to have a crew of about 40 people and is capable of continuous diving in missions lasting up to 90 days. Another outstanding point is that the ship can operate at depths up to 400 meters.

With the " huge " investment for the new submarine, the Russian government hopes to find energy and energy resources in the icy Arctic land, which is heavily influenced by global warming and speed. Terribly melting ice.
