    Now the akulas can record the sound signatures of the top secret ultra quiet american subs. It’s a win-win for the ruskies.

      Part of me wondered if the Akulas are even still in service because of how old they are, but then I remembered the state of the Russian Army in the Ukraine invasion and realized that of course they’re still using subs from the 90s.
