The submarine was delivered to the Russian Navy on 8 July 2022. In light of the decommissioning of the last Typhoon-class submarine in 2023, the Belgorod is the world's largest operational submarine. The Belgorod will reportedly be the first submarine to utilize the Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System.
The submarine can dive up to a depth of 520m and can stay underwater for approximately four months. It can carry an AS-15 deep-sea nuclear station. It can host deep-diving nuclear-powered midget submarines to conduct covert deep-sea operations beneath the ocean's surface.
When we talk deep sea, remember every 33ft of depth the weight per square in. Doubles.... How deep is deep?
every 33' is equal to 1 atmosphere so 2 atmosperes...33' pressure is 2x pressure at sea level, 66' is 3 atmospheres...which is 3x sea level pressure...and so on... I am an ex navy diver, submariner and 2 of my kids serve in submarines asĀ well. As for operating depths there are couple numbers you need to know but they are always classified... operating depth, test depth , and crush depth... first you normally operate...second you can normally operate..but you are scared...if you find number 3 then you just chummed the water
