The salvo with all the ammunition of the strategic submarine was shown on video

30 years ago, in the Barents Sea, the strategic nuclear submarine K-407 (now Novomoskovsk) released the entire ammunition set from the underwater position-16 R-29 Sineva ballistic missiles with an interval of 14 seconds. The operation was called "Behemoth-2" and made a great impression on potential opponents of the Soviet Union (the Americans were able to launch only four missiles from the Ohio submarine in one salvo).

In addition to the record and the effect, the volley firing of ballistic missiles is of purely practical importance - a retaliatory nuclear missile strike (and strategic submarines are designed specifically for it) must be delivered as soon as possible, before the enemy destroys the submarines along with ammunition.

- There were no emotions. In my head, I scrolled only the shooting scheme. A lot depended on the outcome of Operation Behemoth in my life. They even held the next title for me-they say, according to the result. I believed in my ship, I believed in people - especially in the first officer, the mechanic and the rocket man. I was told that even if we release 13, it is already a success. And we all shied away from 16! Without a single failure. How a queue was fired from a machine gun - only with multi - ton missiles-the memoirs of K-407 commander Sergei Egorov are given in the book "Everyday Life of Russian submariners".

Whether coincidentally or not, the submarine gave its historic salvo on the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima by the Americans
