[The Kilo class is a competent piece of work. While they are fairly range limited , and easy enough to detect , their torp load, Shark Gill and Mouse Roar sonar suit with upgrades and mine laying capabilities are considerable for a D/E boat. Problem is that they are hard to hide , don’t dive very deep , are instantly detectable in some modes and VERY slow submerged. They can only run a high speed for a very short distance before having to surface or snorkel for a battery charge which involves running the super loud diesels.No match for our subs but something you definitely want to keep tabs on.]
