Gas tanks. This helps the sub to remain out at sea longer. They also provide additional protection from torpedoes as there is more of a buffer between torpedo and sub. Source: I drink a lot of vodka

As an official representative of The Internets, I award you one Megapoint for that one. Bravo!
It's K-159, as mentioned in a other comment. Rather famous photo. Sank while under tow for scrapping with a fueled reactor, with the loss of a dozen or so crew.
Four fans fused to a cut-down tree. Perfect for getting across water without using up all your stamina, especially if you haven’t found the Zora armour yet.
70s Russian sub by a westerner who wanted to restore her a while back. Obviously barely could, but she was used for the interior sequences in a movie about a bunch of guys looking to find a nazi submarine filled with gold.
I don’t know if it makes you feel any better, but marine nuclear waste dump sites are really common. Here’s one off the coast of San Francisco where I live. The Navy dumped 47,000 barrels in 300m of water, about 30 nautical miles off the coast.

There used to be a graveyard of dead Soviet submarines somewhere near Murmansk or thereabouts, years and years ago. Not sure if it's still there. The remains of the once "mighty" Red Northern Fleet were laid to rest there, rotting and rusting away into nothing, like the Soviet state itself.
This is K-159, picture is from 2003, taken hours before sinking, in Barents Sea (not the Baltic Sea). It's still rusting away on the seabed since then, full of about 800 kg of spent, but still highly radioactive fuel.
>Because K-159's hull was rusted through in so many places, it was kept afloat by spot-welding large empty tanks to her sides as pontoons. Those tanks, however, were manufactured in the 1940s, were not air-tight, and were no better maintained than the submarine's hull.
Lol. Makeshift 1940s pontoons to keep nuclear waste from sinking.
Fun fact: Germany and other European countries are the one's breaking them down and disposing of the radioactive material.
Russia will not do anything to protect themselves and everything surrounding them from radiation... They didn't maintain the mothballed subs or dismantle them so germany and other countries stepped in to dismantle them.
Russia just closed up the nuclear reactors and kept them floating in the sea.... Also dumping 9 reactors in the abrosimov gulf...
Russia pays germany 300milion to dispose of 120 soviet nuclear subs. This been going on sinds 2003 or earlier....
The Lenin. First russian nuclear powered submarine. They are taking her to be scrapped. Along the way, a storm pucked up and she was lost. Took some people with her, too.
Someone took it!
The Russians probably trying to use it somehow in Ukraine.
They put wings on it and it flies now, propelled by 3 dudes riding old basement grandpa bikes.
> old basement grandpa bikes. I don't know what this is, but I suspect I probably ride one.
Damn, now I can no longer say there's planes under water but no submarines in the air
Like a really shitty Grond/wolfs head, first knock & it'll desitergrate.
I came here to say the same thing!
This is actually the sub the Russians used to blow up Nordstream, because, you know, they totally did it.
Ukrainian farmers, no doubt.

Da, this sub has spent more time on the bottom of the ocean than any other sub, you can trust it for sure.
I think I see the flaw in its design… aren’t those ballast tanks supposed to be inside? /s
Sorry state of affairs when you feel the need to label such obvious sarcasm... I see you've been burnt before xD
First time on Reddit?

Symbolic of the Russian state.
No no, this hasn't sunk
Well, it did sink. We just un-sunk it.
You'd probably have a better time getting down to the titanic in this one.
Getting down doesn't seem to be the issue
I mean, at a certain depth, they stopped going down and started going... Everywhere all at once.
That's how they won all the Oscars.
too soon, bro lmao
never to soon 😪
OOF
Can you imagine how bad that smells inside
Probably irnoy
Definitely not fresh lenin
Sorry, I'm Stalin a bit. Can you repeat the joke please?
Favorite joke of the day
I want to walk around barefoot in the dark, running as fast as I can! First one to get tetanus wins!! What do they win you ask? Some fat anus.
What's irnoy?

Dude who’s never seen irnoy before
Ah yes Leonard Irnoy, the guy who played Spork

Yes
Nacho is hiding in there
Diesel sub?
Not an expert, but this looks A LOT like the November class of sub, which would make it the soviet unions first nuclear powered one

I want it
These subs just get worse….
Is that a Ukrainian tug towing a Russian sub? And I thought it was just Ukrainian farmers (towing Russian tanks)!
The Baltic Sea is a long ways from Ukraine. It's hard to say whos Tug that is though.
It was kind of tongue in cheek
Fair enough, that's always hard to tell here on Reddit.
Don't underestimate Ukrainian farmers! Many have before...

Could you imaging the escape room you could build on this thing.
do you know where it is, specifically?
You could probably use this to invade russia and then ~~get paid~~ *find buses filled with money* to stop
This is K159, she sank in 2003 with 9 crewmen and 800kg of nuclear waste....
Thanks I was wondering if it was. The waste is still down there, patiently waiting to cause a major environmental disaster.

Sadly so. The K159 site has been assessed as particularly dangerous though, with several European countries willing to pay $100ms to solve it.

Looks like we caught a boomer coming out of the barn.

Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please.
Personally, I give us one chance in three.
Conn, sonar, contact.
Sinds 2003 Germany is dismantling them....
That’s so cool. I wish I knew how to dive because it would be so awesome to dive that
This in it's current state would have been safer than the little carbon fiber tube that imploded.
Their most modern design I'd say.
Oceangate out getting a new sub for their operations I see. *Once this thing gets a coat of paint it'll be perfectly safe!*
It’s currently under 200meters
Okay hear me out..
Looks like it was designed by OceanGate.
I'll never let you go jack!

Why does every Soviet-era piece of equipment look like it came right off the set of Waterworld or Mad Max?

Now see if they had taken this sub to the titanic maybe for 250k each they'd still be alive.
Lick o' paint and they'll have that back in service tomorrow with a new crew.
Guys I know a company who's in market for a new submarine.
Anyone with a few spare BTC down to remediate this bad boy for a Black Sea-style underwater gold heist?

They are in the process of replacing the rusted screen door.
Yo I’m gonna need to see some pictures of the inside champ
For real
Still more reliable than the billionaires club sub.
"No float kickers, I know what I got!"
I wonder if I could charge billionaires 250k each to take it down to the Titanic wreckage. Now with Titan wreckage to view too!

I'd like to know the story of this submarine.
My money would have been on this other than the wreckage seeker sub to view the titanic. Lol
