Deaths do happen but not everyone onboard would necessarily die such as Loshariks crew allegedly.

Granted, Loshariks full capabilities and exact purpose is unknown due to it being top-secret so Russia and certain people involved dont want to talk about it.

Losharik is a special case. It caught fire during a training exercise where the objective was to practice docking to a mother sub, and it was in coastal waters. And my own reading suggests more than a few crew members did die, but either way, the circumstances of Losharik's accident are totally different than this glorified tin can's.

The real miracle is it survived a previous trip to that depth.

Also, Losharik is a deep diving "underwater engineering sub" (read: spy sub), with a unique internal pressure hull arrangement of joined spheres. It gets its name from the 70s Soviet short film of the same name about a horse made of balls.
