X-ray/Paltus Mini Sub
Added 2020-04-01 12:09:38 +0000 UTCThis is the Special Mission Sub that would dock with KS-86 Project 675N. Something I lost in the translation of my Echo II Sub Brief is this is not for Special Forces as much as this is for deep diving special missions.
The Paltus would be carried off the coast to Norway and they would locate sub-oceanic communications cable and plant charges on them. Practice cutting them. Or move them. In 1995, I watched a Yankee-class SSBN (Modified) do this for about 6 weeks. Very boring for us, but we had to keep an eye (ear) on them.

Paltus class (in Russia known as Project 1851 Almaz & Project 18511, NATO code name X-Ray) submarines were powered by a single 10 MW nuclear reactor.

2020-04-03 12:41:20 +0000 UTCI believe you said in the Briefing it was battery powered?
