Why Soviet Submarines Suddenly Went Silent in 1987
The 1987 Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal gave Soviet submarines silent propellers through illegal CNC mill exports, collapsing NATO's SOSUS detection network. Four precision machines transformed USSR ballistic missile submarines into undetectable threats, ending 30 years of Cold War acoustic advantage overnight.
