Russia is turning the Sea of Okhotsk into a "shrine of nuclear strategy." All this is done in order to protect nuclear submarines with enemy ballistic missiles and to protect the borders of the Russian Federation from a possible attack.
This is written by the Japanese edition of "Tunity Shimbun". And tells about the submarine base of the Pacific Fleet in the village of Rybachy. At the end of the last century, this settlement was almost on the verge of survival, the possibility of closing a military base there was considered. But the Russian authorities left it. And today the Fisherman lives safely, all conditions are created there for sailors and their families.
According to the Japanese edition, two new modern submarines of the Borey project and two of the Ash project will soon be placed at the base.
Japan is concerned about this, especially since a peace treaty between the two countries has not been concluded since the end of World War II. The reason is connected with the question of the ownership of the southern Kuril Islands.
