 |
|
I've been wondering exactly what the rectangles are on the upper front of the sail on a Kilo submarine. They look a lot like windows  but my guess is that they are actually an HF sonar array like we have in US subs. Anyone out there that can confirm/deny what they are? |

Surely Alfa,s Akulas, and Sierra's are Nukes and thus would be below the storms? |

| yes but the windows are for the bad weather bridge where the sierra alfa akula victors are bassed the weather is a lot worse and thus i think they need a bad wether bridge that part of the sub is used for transiting only ie in and out of port stops the crew getting wet etc |
