Here's a brief description of each submarine type you mentioned: 

Akula-class submarines are a class of nuclear-powered attack submarines operated by the Russian Navy.

Akula Class 

– These submarines are known for their advanced sonar systems and are designed for anti-submarine warfare and reconnaissance missions.

Akula-class submarines are equipped with torpedoes, cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles.

Kilo-class submarines are diesel-electric attack submarines designed and built in Russia.

Kilo Class

– They are known for their quiet operation and are used for anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface-ship warfare, and intelligence gathering.

Kilo-class submarines are capable of launching torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.

– The Scorpion-class submarines were a class of diesel-electric attack submarines operated by the United States Navy

Scorpion Class

The USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was the lead submarine of this class and was lost in 1968 under mysterious circumstances.

Scorpion-class submarines were used for a variety of missions, including anti-submarine warfare and intelligence gathering.

There isn't a widely recognized "Tyan Class" submarine. It's possible that there might be a typo or confusion with the name of another submarine class.

Tyan Class

AIP submarines are equipped with a propulsion system that allows them to operate without access to atmospheric oxygen for extended periods.

AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion)

This technology enhances a submarine's stealth by reducing the need to surface or snorkel for air, making them suitable for longer underwater missions.

AIP submarines are often diesel-electric and are used by various navies around the world.

Nuclear submarines are powered by nuclear reactors, providing them with virtually unlimited underwater endurance and high speeds.

Nuclear Submarine

They can operate submerged for extended periods without the need to surface for air.

Nuclear submarines are used for a wide range of missions, including strategic nuclear deterrence, anti-submarine warfare, and reconnaissance.
