As retired builder and designer of submarines and looking at the 841 in the videos I would be concerned that the extended sail looks to be out of ratio in height to the main hull height. this extended sail length and height looks to give a rotational moment about the boat which on a high speed turn (for a diesel sub) would possibly when loaded with the top weight of missiles may rotate the vessel into an upside/down attitude which no submariner wants to experience as it is very difficult to correct and would make the blowing of ballast a very difficult operation. Driving and crewing a submarine is difficult and hazardous, I do not think I would like to experience a sea trip in this boat particularly when doing active battle manoeuvres. Kind regards JohnH

Especially if the center of gravity is made to be wrong, like if they, say, fired a few torpedos and the lack of that weight finally made "She's riding a bit funny, Cap'n..!" into "Augh, why are we upside-down?!" then about all they could do was try to shift mass around to literally fix it from the inside by like unmounting heavy stuff inside and 'sticking it to the roof/the usually-the-floor' and trying to roll it back. A bit of fluid in the wrong place goes from being an air-trap to a hard-hydraulic-system or a fluid-broken compressor and things like that. It would be hard to do a lot of things...and even just start all the problems off with 'the roof is the floor now'! The batteries would NOT be happy to go 180, though I think we're not using the open-wet-cell stuff still nowadays? So maybe it wouldn't flat-ruin them, but it might cause hell even if they still might work if brought back upright. I doubt we're using AGM batteries that don't mind their orientation. The reactor would be PISSED, though, and the turbines might have their cooling water dumped back up into their outflow, or just water that hasn't boiled might come burbling in from the reactor side...though I suppose they maybe have steam-gates to not let water get around the system all willy-nilly? The reactor would be useless, though, unless they can superheat the steam and use it anyway, but then they'd have to push the reactor to stupid temperatures to make that possible in the first place. Not a good situation, yeah. I'd never really thought it over before, but there's a lot of stuff that has just ONE thing that doesn't function any more if the device goes 180 degrees around!

If North Korea would have couple of warheads ready to use this would be a threat. But this is to be proven. Guessing that the foreign military intelligents is making sure of that. Also 841 might be a missle launcher, probably only when surfaced. It will be easy to track and destroy. With the top stacked weight of the missles, it will be very clumsy and strong sea might be an issue anyways for it. If the submarine can reach a cost line undetected this will be a problem for countries like Japan and of course South Korea when being attacked other then from the North. Land based missles can be intercepted far easier or be destroyed before launch.

The giant boxy bulge behind the sails where the missiles go. 3) You generally don't launch ballistic missiles and cruise missiles from the same tubes. They are different sizes and different weights, and requite different launch systems. This is why 4 Ohio class boats were retrofitted, as the US navy converted them from ballistic missile boats to cruise missile boats. What we don't know, is how good it's propeller is. it doesn't matter if it's nuclear powered, or a diesel electric, if it doesn't have a good (silent) propeller other navies will be able to pick it up and track it from a long way off.

Yup, exactly. And since the US now has pictures of the prop, they can tune their sonar to find it. IF it can even dive and not leak or burst! 😂

@noraneko8926 The snorkel still sticks out like a sore thumb on radar. It's definitely not a type 94 copy. The shape is completely different, not to mention that type 94 is nuclear powered.

Why would a North Korean sub have 841 in English rather than a number in Korean? Also, do they Really expect us to believe they have that many ships? Unless they’re including row boats of course.

All nations use the 1-9 characters for numbers, they arent attached to any language. The number system came from India thousands of years ago and is so awesome everyone ditched their way of doing nunbers and adopted the indian system. Roman numerals are a cool example of a dead number system, but there are many others as well.

No details as to what is INSIDE as Kim couldn't fit thru the hatch! 😂 If it was a secret, special submarine, they should have covered the propeller. 😮 Now that the US has pictures of the propeller, they can adjust our sonar systems to detect the noise it will make and KABOOM! 😂

I can tell you everything you want to know about the sub. You fill it with baking soda and it goes brrrrrrrrr..😅😂😅

Bruh it looks straight outta 1950s USSR but somehow I don’t doubt it’s worse than those deathtraps.

Congratulations Kim, seems like your subs are finally on the same level as the Soviet subs in 1950s.

I don't doubt the nuclear capabilities of this submarine one bit. That said, I still firmly believe this thing was only made for one goal, to continue the party narrative that they are fiercely independent and that Kim really is trying to move them away from the kids table. He's not, but it doesn't matter so long as that's what the people believe. I'm not going to be impressed by this thing until it pops up somewhere uncomfortable during the next ROK/US large scale naval exercise.

I wonder if the Soviets traded a couple of old conjurer submarines for a bunch of AK-47 ammo the fight with in the Ukraine. Maybe they threw in a couple of drones and some artillery shells. Let's hope it's one of the Russian classes that use liquid oxygen feed the diesel while underwater. I think they called those boats something like the heroshima class jokingly.

It’s not you. It’s me. I’m way too high to handle this. I promise to come back and actually watch at a later time.

Thank you for that in-depth analysis and well-balanced commentary.

If Kim were serious, he would announce that the crew would receive food. Perhaps remains from his own plate.

these guys didn't do any research on this sub, amateurs.

They should test dive it around the wreck of the uss Johnston! Just to show it’s amazing dive depth. SCIENCE!!!!!

It's a TYPE 033 SUBMARINE with the holes filled in. an extension to the corning tower and a paint job.

We watch your videos in history class.

Having served in the US Navy, I can give you an educated guess. Its not a ballistic submarine. The simple fact is that it is too small. An ICBM is a large weapon system and requires a large platform to launch. And no, I don't mean minute man sized missiles, but in order to keep from killing everyone on board during launch, you need space. 841 is at best a copy of the Chinese design run most likely be diesel marine engines.

Love having an in the middle of approach 🤘

Im sure anytime its deployed there will be a seawolf tailing it. Also we should ballon in usb sticks with The Hunt for The Red October on them.

It’s probably a Russian sub they borrowed for the event

After reading some of these comments I would like to see a video discussing the reality of North Korea compared to how it’s often portrayed in the media.

It's naval architecture: Take the length of the vessel (measurable via pictures) and the ratio of length-to-width to determine cruising speed. Take the height of the vessel to determine the max length of missiles it can carry, then analyze the propellant of known DPRK rockets to determine the energy density of the missiles per unit volume, and thus the max range of the missiles. Photography of US subs in drydock isn't allowed specifically because of this.

@@georgecristiancripcia4819 True, we have concentrated on plane-based munitions, and that does make up somewhat for the lack of artillery (though I suspect their far more expensive than artillery shells, so we probably get far less bang for our buck). On the Russians: I suspect their just running out of usable rounds, since most of their stockpile is ancient Soviet stockpiles that needs refurbishing before it's useable. And their probably also running low on usable artillery barrels. I'm not saying that Ukrainian counter battery/stockpile targeting fire has no effect, just that regardless of that the Russian fire rate would have to fall due to limited shell/barrel numbers. Also I don't much trust in this idea that NATO artillery is somehow uniquely accurate. The Ukrainians are clearly very short on equipment and firing their barrels many more times than their designed for (very sensibly), and so most of the time most of those NATO barrels will be worn out and no better than the Soviet stuff after the first few hundred shots.
