  1. Image looks AI. Where is all the equipment in that warehouse and why is it on tracks near a wall. Wouldn’t it be easier to work on in the middle of the factory and not to the side? Also the stands look off.

  2. Our enemy supplying our enemy. We should write them a strongly worded letter and have our president fawn over Putin. :S

  3. Hate to be the first/last crew on this thing. Imagine being trapped inside a North Korean Nuclear reactor under the ocean. I’m sure they’ve made sure to shield the crew from radiation.

  4. The photo looks fake as fuck. The hole thing looks made of clay.

    Well, if it’s real then kudos to them I guess… Let’s see if it floats. 🙂

  5. That sounds like the prelude to the House full of Dynamite movie.

    But anyway, how can TACO think of getting friendly with Russia while they actively work to undermine US security. Isn’t it a treason?

  6. Otherwiseclueless on

    Are submarines in this ‘weight class’ typically like 43ft tall? ’cause that thing is like 7-8 group-dudes tall not including that bizarrely long conning tower best I can figure from the perspective?

    Actually what on earth is up with that tower too? Can they just not manage to fit their missiles in VLS’s at that hull diameter and needed to raise the roof?

  7. How are they sourcing the required Logitech G Dual Action Game pads with all the sanctions?

  8. I mean if it pulls out of port and a virgins class sub sinks it no one would ever know the cause. China, Russia and North Korea can’t track them. They operate at full speed 5 decibels louder than the ocean.

  9. Remember the Kang Kon capsized during its launch earlier this year… Maybe the North Koreans will botch this one too.

    I’d say the greatest intelligence failure of this era is the failure to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons. This dates back decades to Pakistan’s AQ Khan.
