>>545196290It's most likely still in dry dock. It definitely didn't sank, otherwise it would've made front page of the biggest Globohomo media outlets.
>>545196290It's probably completely inoperable
>>545196290Probably sank
>>545196290Just like most nork things, it just exists, may or may not be operable, probably still works but in shabby / bare minimum condition
>>545196290well it is quite difficult to see it and to hear it you need special equipment, so....
>>545196290>On October 15, North Korean press reported the test-firing of “two kinds of submarine-launched strategic cruise missiles” in order to “examine the current mobilized posture of the underwater combat systems.” No other details were provided, but an accompanying photo showed the “tactical nuclear attack submarine” converted from an old ROMEO-class diesel/electric attack sub, which had been rolled out of its construction hall and launched in September 2023, underway on the surface at sea. >The combination of the press item and photos imply that the converted missile sub has begun sea trials; this is the first positive indication that the sub had left its construction and fitting-out port at Sinpho, where it was last seen in commercial imagery in August.Sea trials usually take about a year so it is probably out chugging along somewhere.
>>545196290Best submarine is built to be stealthy and hide >Does a stealth and hidesW T FW H E R E. I S. I T.
>>545198400No but I'm pretty sure there tons of satellites that actually can see these things quite often ... Quite a few sat bands can likely make out a submarine up to 50m depths which is a surprising amount of Earth's surface
>>545196290They turned it into kimchi
>>545196290>but nothing has been heard since then.OMG !!!!! THEY INVENTED THE ULTIMATE SILENT PROPULSION!!!!!!!!
