US experts said, Chinese nuclear submarines too “noisy”.
Such a conclusion they did after, in this month in the East China Sea after two days of persecution was forced to float the Chinese nuclear submarine. For more than forty hours chased by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, not allowing the submarine to break away from the pursuit of, According to Popular Mechanics.

But experts do not exclude that, that this ascent would be action, conducted by Chinese, to specifically demonstrate the presence of these boats in the fleet, as during the ascent to it was a huge Chinese flag.
At present, China is at the service of six to 13 Nuclear submarine project 093 “Shan”. They have been developed in China for replacement of the obsolete and relatively unreliable submarine torpedo boat class project 091 “Spouse”.
The construction of the lead ship was launched in 2001 year, and 2015 was supposed slipway left the last boat of the project. The boat is equipped with the latest Chinese sonar and torpedo. Six 533-mm torpedo tubes are located in the bow of the ship. Of them can be firing torpedoes (including latest remote-controlled, as well as having a homing system for the wake), cruise missiles YJ-8-II (different from the YJ-8 the possibility of underwater launch and maximum firing range, increased to 80 km) and, probably, cruise missile with underwater launch, designed to destroy ground tseley.Kitayskie authorities normally do not comment on the incident.
In fact, the Chinese navy is regularly engaged in deep probing of NATO defense systems – including, with the help of his long hikes submarines new projects. On one of them, carried out by just one of the submarine project 093
From April to June 2016 he passed a very unusual one long march of the Chinese multi-purpose nuclear submarine project 093 "Shan" (Type-93) with torpedoes and antiship missile long-range weapons on board. According to the Indian Information Resources, submarine "lit up" in the commercial berth Karachi port, accompanied by several software tankers. Photos subs were made commercial satellites with high-resolution optics. known, that "Shan" came out of the largest naval base Yulin submarine fleet (on Hainan Island) about the middle of April 2016 of the year, then he passed Singapore, and through the Malacca Strait entered the Indian Ocean 19-20 April 2016 of the year. During the month of Maple escort moved slowly across the Indian Ocean, and, beating Sri Lanka and Laccadive Sea, I rushed into the Arabian Sea, which he paid a visit to Karachi, Pakistan. Here, the submarine remained with 19 by 26 May, then headed to the coast of Oman (The Arabian peninsula) and Somalia. Near the coast of Africa, "Shan" has made a huge detour to the south and to the 15 June left the Indian Ocean through all the same Straits of Malacca. Indian media described the situation only after 7 months.
Throughout the campaign the submarine "tight" was accompanied by a long-range anti-submarine aircraft of the Naval Forces of India P-8I «Poseidon», which are scattered in the path of the Chinese naval connections radiogidroakusticheskih many buoys, Indians also had to say, that "Shan" is much noisier, than modern Russian and American Maple. Basically, it's obvious, but "rustle" in Delhi this case is really a lot navol: apparently, not so quickly and smoothly "Poseidon" it found. After all, the main evidence discovery – satellite images already moored in the port of Karachi submarine. On the web page of the Indian TV channel NDTV even been suggested, Beijing plans to sell "Shan" Naval forces of Pakistan, but this conclusion is bordered by a real delirium, since neither superpower would not sell their underwater strike cruisers third countries. But the "muscle-flexing" and demonstration of strategic response manners – quite adequate action on the part of China.
