This big sub dissapered in some military yard in Colombia. And there is NO information about it. As far as I know it is classified information and you know how the military is about this things.
I only know it was build by two russian Navy experts near Bogota more than 1000 km away from the next coast.
Best wishes

Some one must have seen the coast gaurd and took off, or some one was really desperate. Good pics. Does anyone have pics of the one that was captured in the mountains of Columbia in 2000? What happened to it?James

I don't really think it should be called a submarine, unless a
major part of it broke off or I'm missing something it doesn't
really look it the tower would get submerged. Semi-submersible
at best.
Cheers,
Ian.
