TNI: Project 941 submarine "Shark" will turn into a museum

Advanced technologies, huge size and silent operation at one time made the submarine Dmitry Donskoy a formidable ghost of the depths, writes TNI. And after the ship was decommissioned, they decided to turn it into a floating museum.

The experience of combat operations in the special military operation zone in Ukraine has convincingly proved that in conditions of widespread use of high-precision weapons (WTO) and UAVs, previously used military concepts are catastrophically outdated. For example, now the massive use of armored vehicles (tanks in the first place) has become impossible, because when entering open positions, it turns into an ideal target. Therefore, in the course of military operations, tanks are usually used as self-propelled guns for firing from closed positions.

Judging by the photo, the vehicle is powered by a small rocket engine located in the rear of a wide cylindrical body. It is equipped with three retractable lattice stabilizers located in the tail section. The rocket has a rounded nose, but it is not known whether it is just an aerodynamic fairing or whether it hides the means of aiming at the target.

Thanks to the use of 70mm Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II (APKWS II) laser-guided missiles by American troops, the first idea appeared of them as a means of hitting air targets, which is launched from fighter jets and shoots down Houthi attack drones. The corresponding video is shown online.
