Nope...the antenna and others are all retracted inside that very strong sail when breaking through. This pic is at the North Pole and it was, as I understand, 4 ft of ice the sub broke through.


That is one awesome pic.

Ad it should have been bleedin’ obvious to me with a moment’s thought to realize that all the prickly bits would be retractable to provide efficient, quiet running.

This is like Argentina and the Malvinas/Falklands. The ridge theory doesn’t hold. Putin is just trying to gain hegemony over Europe through control of energy.

Also...no smoke stacks on Nuclear submarines.

No wood-burning stoves in the living room, huh? :-)

Thanks for the ping to that article, Mo. It seems Vladi wants to present a front of some kind of republicanism to "the masses," but just basically as a cover for a kind of "reformed" autocracy.

Hardly "glasnost."

Have you watched the show ‘Ice Road’? Not sure which channel, DSC I think.

DeBeers is constructing a diamond mine just S. of the Arctic Circle. About 220 miles N. of Yellowknife.

Sorry Putin.
