Post WW2 and Modern Warfare Pics

Well I will either be deployed as a PG or a Feldjäger (Millitary Police) But I'll see

A Typhoon Class submarine laying in a Russian port somewhere.
Built in the '80's , these guys were the biggest subs ever build. With 2 nulcear reactors and enough missles to blow up half of the US, Typhoons were the most feared vessels at the end of the cold war.
It became famous trough The Hunt For Red Octobre with Sean Connery as a deffecting Typhoon Captain.
Unfortunately, these ships became too expensive to maintain (must be because of the sauna and swimming pool on board -no joke),all were scrapped.




Photo added for a size comparison.
At 26000 tonnes surfaced water displacement, these ships were big.. very big !
It's main rival, the Los Angeles class subs of the US navy discplaced a puny 6000 tonnes.

(Of course, LA class subs were fast attack subs and the Typhoons were Intercontinental Ballistic Missle subs, aka Destroyers of Worlds...)



Just a Typhoon casully cruising past the beach... After all, this is Soviet Russia!


Russia wouldn't be Russia if they didn't replace the Typhoon with an equally awesome beast. The Borei Class of SSBN'S is even longer than the Typhoon, carries more missles and has modern technology. The first sub of this new class is already launched and is currently undergoing sea trials. With 2 more in the works, the Americans have something new to fear.

Interesting Thx for the Info

Here's a decent video montage from different sources about Operation Serval, the French intervention in Mali backed unanimously by the UN Security council and the Malian government. It shows french infantry combat in the desert, Malian troops fighting in Gao (urban setting) and french air raids by some old Dassault Mirages 2000 (Can't find decent footage with the new & superb Dassault Rafales).

The videos are quite "sanitized" when it comes to graphic violence, you can watch them safely.

Some french forces footage, but mainly footage of the malian army

Narration is in French, only French footage

Vice 'Ground Zero" documentary in english (3 parts)

Cheers.

Not warfare as such, but I hope these are okay. I've always found the photos from 60s and 70s Afghanistan particularly fascinating... apparently it enjoyed something of a golden age until the Soviets invaded in 79. It's sad what's happened to it now as it was a beautiful country with a rich history and culture.

I'll also throw these in as well, as they are just generally interesting for anyone who likes old photos.

Also, totally random but I think this is pretty cool.

I'd LOVE to see the insides of the Typhoon class! Especially the pool and the sauna, as you mentioned! Won't happen most likely tho
