Should NATO respect Russia's Lada Class attack submarines?

The Project 677 Lada Class is intended to be a successor to the tried-and-tested Kilo Class diesel attack submarines. They are expected to surpass the Kilo in every way, including noise levels, sonar systems, and firepower.

The lead Lada boat, the St. Petersburg, was launched in 2004, and has been used primarily as a test bed for new technology that will be incorporated into future Lada class boats. So, after approximately twenty years of development, it is time to do an assessment of the project 677 Lada. In this video, we answer the question: Is the Lada class a worthy successor to the famous Kilo Class submarines?
