Blimpyboy Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hiya all, Cruising the web, I found some pictures of Soviet Victor III subs, which appear to have a camouflage pattern. Given that camouflage paint schemes are pretty rare on post-WWII subs in general, I thought it might be worth making a repository here for camouflaged Sov/Russian boats! 2020.f.a0z.ru/cache/01/800x600/19-8269153-1.jpg and 2020.f.a0z.ru/01/20-8271725-i.jpg and 2020.f.a0z.ru/01/20-8271725-i-3-.jpg Does anyone out there have any other photos of camouflaged subs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting find Blimpyboy - It would be great to get more details of that cam.... Not Russian, but I did a 1/350 scale HMS Opposum in camo.... Photos of the build is here :- http://www.flankers-site.co.uk/model_submarines_British.html#HMS_Oberon She was painted by the crew whilst participating in the attacks on Afghanistan and was based in Diego Garcia.

She was used to support SF landings in Operation Granby in 1991 but was out of service by the time that the war commenced in Afghan. As to the original question, they're an interesting set of photos. Back in the day when I used to have to do monthly ship recognition tests (including periscopes) one of the clues to look for that we are always told was that if it's camouflaged it will be NATO because the Soviets don't camouflage their boats or periscopes. Clearly they do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cunning Russkies! Can't trust 'em one little bit! Still, they're clearly not as sneaky as Chinese submariners: Edited September 16, 2021 by Blimpyboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
