The Joint Strategic Command (USC) "Northern Fleet", which ensures the security of the Russian part of the Arctic, in the event of a war with the US Navy (Navy) will be destroyed, predicts in the "Military-Industrial Courier" Deputy President of the Russian Academy of Rocket and Artillery Sciences (RARAN) for information Policy, Doctor of Military Sciences Konstantin Sivkov.

"Our association in the most favorable conditions will only be able to weaken the aircraft carrier connection of the US Navy (by disabling one aircraft carrier out of three or four US and British navies, sinking two or three surface guard ships) and destroy two or three American (British) Nuclear submarines-approx. "The tapes.<url>") in the Barents Sea, " the expert writes, comparing the combat capabilities of the USC and a potential enemy.

The author is sure that "the defeat of the surface and underwater groups of the enemy Navy will not happen", but "the main part of the ships, submarines, aircraft of the strike and anti-submarine group" of the USC will be destroyed.

Deputy President RARAN is confident that in the event of a conflict with the United States, the Northern Fleet will not be able to ensure the combat stability of Russian strategic submarines, since the anti-submarine forces available to Russia can control only a small part of the coastal areas where Russian submarines can be located.

According to the doctor of military sciences, in the same case, the USC will be more than three times inferior to the enemy in fighter aviation.

However, Sivkov is confident that such a development can be avoided with the adoption of the hypersonic missile "Zircon", which, according to the expert, "can disable or even sink up to two or three aircraft carriers and up to seven or eight ships of the enemy".

In May, the chairman of the All-Russian Fleet Support Movement (DPF), Captain 1st Rank Mikhail Nenashev , told RIA Novosti that the Zircons "know how to hit ground targets and are able to destroy NATO facilities in Norway or Alaska."
