| The Varshavyanka-class is an update to Russia's current Kilo-class submarine. Although Varshavyanka-class submarines can not dive as deep or stay submerged underwater as long as nuclear submarines, they are nearly impossible to detect acoustically. |

| #7 We don't seem to be too concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some satellite technology that can track them. |

| #2 not good for australia. the russians are busy bidding for the Indonesian dollar They are selling them sukhoi jets, amphibious tanks and they've been in submarine talks for a while. Stupidly Australia gives Indonesia $600 million in aid each year (while borrowing $100 million a day to service our own debt) |
