The Akula is the Project 971 attack submarine. MSN, where a 30 second Google search is too hard.
THe Akula is an interesting boat that has been around for a while. Our boats focus on electronics and are nothing special in terms of speed or max depth. The Russians focus on performance and firepower. That is why they were able to reduce that strategically useless very heavily fortified irrelevant village called Bachmut to a pile of rubble. We focus on precision munitions and they focus on just blowing everything up. It’s crude but turns out to be rather effective if you are on the wrong side of it.
Or even a spell check for thier headline😂
Built confusing:
The SSBN:
Russian Designation: Project 941 Akula
NATO Designation: Typhoon
The SSN:
Russian Designation: Project 971 Shchuka-B
NATO Designation: Akula
Yes, Akula is not a Typhoon. Typhoon is an SSBN.
