[Closed] The Hunt for Red October?

Thought this was going to be a tribute to the BTTF thread, moaning that his accent wasn't Russian enough, etc. 🙂

Which way is he doing his crazy Ivan?

17th yesterday..

If he turns starboard at the bottom of the hour then we'll know for sure..

One ping only Vasili.

I presume they are out to make a Google map pic of thier great leader...

Re-verify range to target

"Thought this was going to be a tribute to the BTTF thread, moaning that his accent wasn't Russian enough, etc. "

they explain that early on by saying he's a Lett or Lithuanian, and that's why he has an unusual accent that doesn't match the rest of the Soviet (presumably mostly Russian) crew.

Schplendid.

Potentially a big story this. disappointed that I had to do a manual search on the BBC to bring it up in their news....while at the same time there are some real non-stories featuring prominently.

'X Factor judge who can sing judges contestants.'
Where those the headlines? 😮

Non-stories are the BBC news...

The Russians do this all the time, unlike the morally upright NATO members whose subs never get up to anything nefarious.

On the BBC news now!

Ah! Hence the Scottish accent.

The Hunt for Red October?

The Hunt For The Reds In October, shirley?

THFRO is one of my home alone / boy night in / beer films that get watched regularly.

so why does everyone else in the movie speak English with a Russian accent but Connery does not..., cos he demanded it as part of his acceptance. ..?

Love it. As for the accent - see Highlander - Shean plays a Spaniard, while the eponymous highlander is played by a Frenchman...

I would like to have seen Montana

Oh and this one:

Give me a stopwatch and a map, and I'll fly the Alps in a plane with no windows.

I think I have seen this over 50 times! shudders

How come the Swedes get such cool boats?

This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it.

How come the Swedes get such cool boats?

They buy them flat packed and this reduces transportation, storage and assembly costs...

Don't be silly, that's his Egyptian-living-in-Spain accent

Operations narrated by Paul Daniels. Starboard, but not a lot!

A nuclear submarine will have very advanced inertial navigation systems. So, although it has been dramatised and exaggerated for the movie, there is some truth in it.

A ruski don't take a dump without a plan, son.

the corvette is Visby which is swedish for wizbit

Wikström spoke only of foreign underwater activity, without specifying submarines.

Yeah, that's nice and vague. Could just be a guy holding his breath. 😀

Who is the mysterious figure in black?

And no, it's not me.

Civilian vessels ordered to leave the area. Perhaps Sean wants to talk.

The Swedish navy has cool boats because they have never deluded themselves into thinking there is not a Russia threat. Unlike many idiots in the UK.

They do and it does work ok, but its more like in the 100's of meters not inches lol, it works by speed though the water and course you have been traveling the longer between fixes (gps) the more error it build's into a box where you ''could'' be.

RE: the Swedish having cools boats

They have cool ships.

A boat is what they are 'investigating'

That is all.

Pfft, I thought ASW was an RAF speciality

Thirty years and that reference is still holding its own

It's one hell of a tough Strava segment to have a go at though.

The average russkie doesn't take a dump without a plan

White 101 what makes a ship and ship and a submarine a boat 😉

The HMS Wizbit is a pretty dinky thing so in Russian terms it probably qualifies as a rowboat.

Must be serious, it made it into the rag that is the Metro this morning.

Hope it isn't a knackered Russian sub like the Kursk again. Those poor blokes.

To add to our James Bond plot

Total CEO is killed ... by crazy drunk Russian snow plough driver... is he the man in black on the shore line ??

The places they seem to be looking 'look' very shallow and narrow to be driving big subs around in so guessing its not a big missile boat they're looking for.
