https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sunken_nuclear_submarines https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sunken_nuclear_subma... the list of sunken Soviet submarines is much longer than the list of sunken US submarines, how is that explained?
- freeone3000 9y agoThey're more innovative. Move fast and break things, right?
- willvarfar 9y agoEarly on they rushed poorly designed submarines out with poorly trained crews and poor leadership. There was also a blame culture eg welding rescue bouys to the hull because if they came loose accidentally then the factory would be punished! This is well described eg in Nat Geo book on K19.
- gandhium 9y ago"Move fast and break things" doesn't sound right, when "things" are your own citizens. But it's only my opinion, probably.
- lostlogin 9y agoThat’s exactly the way it’s been done over Russian history. Except for the long periods of moving slow and killing citizens.
- vkou 9y agoThere was a profound disregard for safety in most branches of the Red Army.
- golergka 9y agoPeople were the cheapest resource in Russia since about forever.
- heavenlyblue 9y agoIs it better if they are not your own citizens?
- monocasa 9y agoApparently they also designed heavily for survivability, more so than the American subs. So sounds more like calculated risks.
