I guess Kim Jong-Un went really heavyhanded with the Ryza Rust. Still, 10/10 for enthusiasm.

Only place I've seen it before was in the finest Submarine movie ever made..

Now, should something happen that makes people think it is worth the risk, such as absolute desperation (such as the food shortages in Tsarist Russia) or some kind of instability or weakness in government that makes you believe that your revolution will work, then you see people taking a chance.

Yes right.. the poor and starving were literally piled up against the gates of the Versailles before the French Revolution happened. Same too in Russia. If the government has complete control of the armed forces, it has to get to the point where people fear death from starvation and poverty before they will take up arms.

If my Navy classes are remembered correctly, I believe that is a 60's era Soviet Whisky Class submarine (Whiskey IV I think). Diesel electric boat, typically very quiet when running off battery as long as all of the machinery is in good shape and not vibrating.

Its probably a Romeo, China sold complete submarines and the parts to manufacture them beginning in 1973.
