Why would it be carrying a payload of nuclear missiles when they hadn't even finished testing the caterpillar drive? It wouldn't even be carrying enough food to sail all the way to the US.

Movie makes no sense.

Irregardless, it's orders were to proceed to its grid area up north and do tests of the drive with captain Tupolev's boat. Why would they load it up with missiles when it's not going on patrol?

It was the cold war man, that was just the way they rolled. If a missile fits on it, it gets a missile.

Because it was still a Typhoon sub, which at the time was a mature and well tested platform. It just happened to have an experimental drive in addition to the conventional screws. It's not like it was the first LSD and Nitroglycerine powered sub. There really wasn't much to go wrong at that point.

I dunno. I read "Rainbow six" and enjoyed it and thought that he was probably a one trick pony. He can write an interesting story, but only one. Compared to Stephen King who is a hack but can write a bunch of different kinds of pulp
