That’s all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

All Borei class submarines are equipped with a floating rescue chamber designed to fit in the whole crew. I'd like to know more about this ....

...equipped with a floating rescue chamber designed to fit in the whole crew. How is this possible?

Cost of $770 million, vs ours at about $3 billion?
Maybe we should subcontract!
Two pings if you agree.

The rescue chamber is the sub itself. After it ruptures for no apparent reason, it turns upside down and the water drains out of the conning tower

All modern Russian nuclear submarines are fitted with escape pods capable of containing the entire crew. The Russians don't seem to like to talk much about the details, but a few pictures of them have leaked, like this one of the pod on an Akula-class attack sub.

What's the big deal? A number of their nuke boats don't make any noise anymore.
To: null and void
I bet that the sub rattles and creaks like an old Chevy truck going too fast over railroad tracks. Russia’s industrial base is obsolete, its skilled workforce is old and declining in numbers, and corruption saps Russia’s military procurement. As with prior Russian subs, to keep costs down and avoid embarrassing breakdowns and the risk of fatal accidents, the Borei class will mostly sit in port, with brief training forays into the Barents Sea — but lots of chest thumping articles in the Russian press.
To: JerseyanExile
Wikipedia says the compliment of an Akula is 60 or 70 men. That pod doesn’t look big enough to hold even half that many people.

With the help they are getting from various sources along with their own desires to flex their muscle in the vacuum that has formed with our failing wouldn't bet hard currency on that. Nor would I underestimate Russian ingenuity. Remember we have to get into space on their “inferior” space craft...
