Triumph of the Russian shipbuilding

"Losharik" sank to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean

Top-secret nuclear submarine project 10830 "gate" in military jargon - "Losharik»,
He participated in the sampling of soil from a depth of 2, 5-3 km to the Mendeleyev Ridge in the Arctic Ocean.
Within 20 days of battery life at an incredible depth of the submarine through special external manipulators
500 kg of soil collected from three wells drilled diesel-electric icebreakers "Captain Dranitsin" and "Dickson».

What's so important in this demersal ground, if the main control of the Ministry of Defense of deep research,
submit to the personal defense minister allowed to light one of the most secret projects of recent years?
The answer is simple: if the soil produced by the chemical composition will be the same as the ground of our continental crust, it will mean,
that Mendeleev Ridge is a direct continuation of the continent and, therefore, our shelf.
The matter will be for the technical design of the application and its presentation to the UN Commission on the Law of the Sea.
Adjacent to the ridge 200 nautical miles will become our economic area and the total area of ​​Russia increased by 1, 2 million square feet. km.
According to the MEP, but Lomonosov and Mendeleyev ridges conceal oil and gas reserves in
amounting to more than 5 billion tons of equivalent fuel. The strategic importance of
Expedition suspicion!

Participation "Losharika" expedition "Arktika-2012" is hotly debated on the Internet. Two major issues:
whether there is something to be proud of Russia in this case, and why the submarine is so frivolous nickname?

Proud, of course, there is nothing. 10830 Submarine "gate" the only one in the world can go down to a depth of 6 km,
the others dive to a maximum of kilometer. The second - the body is made up of spherical submarine compartments made of titanium:
With this design the boat can withstand the pressure of the beyond. And so, by analogy with the horse
of the balls from the famous cartoon, she received the nickname "Losharik».

Submarines said the project - and apparently, it is about them - have been developed in the 1980 CB "Malachite".
This compact submarine with a nuclear reactor. According to some, these classes of submarines supplied diving lock chambers.
The first nuclear-powered vessel of this class came from 42 th workshop of the plant "Sevmash" in August 2003.
Construction of nuclear submarines was conducted in a high-retnosti seconds, the number of employees in the process of workers and engineers lockstep.
Regenerators of air and water on board allow submarines stay underwater for several months without surfacing.

That's all pictures and no precise figures. Our newsmakers of "Rosatom" and the Ministry of Defense categorically refused to speak on a given topic.

As reported in the press referring to the military, the submarine during the work on the Mendeleev Ridge
I received a number of minor injuries and now went to the home of the 42nd plant "Sevmash" for repairs.
In particular, it will be replaced by a system of external lighting and manipulators, checked the remaining components and assemblies.
How much is it? Certainly not cheap. But is the promotion of our borders to the north can be measured in spare parts and pieces of titanium?

P.S. How do you this news? Without publicity, the show (as it like some countries),
We created a submarine that is just on the characteristics of "depth" exceeds
all existing analogues 6 times!



And what is there in service is all scary to think

But the fact that so playfully chop off 1, 2 million sq. M. km of the Arctic, wiped his nose all
others
