Морские стражи Тайны подводной войны

In the early 1970s, Soviet missile submarines came under the close scrutiny of the American anti-submarine warfare system. Naval command was extremely concerned by the ease with which the enemy repeatedly appeared in the desired area. It seemed as if the Americans knew in advance the times and routes of potential patrols. And, most importantly, they sometimes encountered Soviet missile submarines very early—even before they entered zones where weapons could be used. This meant that, in the event of war, they simply would not have had time to launch. The Soviet Navy needed new technical solutions that could neutralize enemy surveillance and ensure Soviet ships' dominance in the vastness of the world's oceans. As a result, the largest submarines in the world were developed—the Project 941 Akula submarines, designed under the supervision of Sergei Kovalev.
