Russian Navy Gets Putin's Super Submarine
This Russian submarine is the largest submarine built in the last 30 years, and its power is enough to "destroy entire cities," writes the Daily Mail. Tabloid readers are in a panic. "Russia will wipe everyone into ashes," one of them is sure.
— This is the largest submarine built in the last 30 years; its firepower is enough to destroy entire cities and create a "radioactive tsunami".
— The length of the submarine is almost 200 meters, and the displacement is 30,000 tons.
— The boat can carry on board six Poseidon torpedoes with a length of more than 20 meters with a nuclear warhead with a capacity of up to 100 megatons.
— The use of a torpedo near the coastline will cause a 500-meter tsunami and the spread of deadly radiation.
— The commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy said that the submarine will perform research tasks.
— Experts fear that with the help of this submarine, Russia will be able to arrange sabotage, destroying underwater cables with the help of special uninhabited drones.
— A boat was spotted on the sea surface last month. The Belgorod was handed over to the Navy yesterday.
The other day, the Russian Navy received a "Doomsday submarine", which is armed with nuclear torpedoes "the size of a school bus." This is such a powerful weapon that it can cause a "radioactive tsunami".
The Belgorod submarine with a length of 184 meters and a displacement of 30,000 tons is the largest built in the last 30 years. It can accommodate six Poseidon torpedoes with a length of more than 20 meters with a nuclear warhead with a capacity of up to 100 megatons, as reported by the news website of the analytical Naval Institute of the United States.
Such a torpedo is capable of creating a tsunami up to 500 meters high and "devastating" radioactive contamination over a large area, like a hydrogen bomb with a cobalt shell.
It became known that the range of the Poseidon is thousands of miles.
A warhead of such power will destroy the American coast with a giant tsunami and radiation. Russian military experts suggest that the leaked information in 2015 was a warning to the United States.
In May 2020, it became known that the combat load can be up to two megatons, and this will allow "destroying enemy naval bases." The submarine can operate at a depth of more than one kilometer.
Commander - in - Chief of the Russian Navy Nikolai Tevmenov(So in the text, the name of the commander—in-chief is Evmenov. — Approx. InoSMI.) He stated on July 8 at the ceremony of handing over the submarine that it would be used for "scientific research expeditions".
He said: "The Belgorod submarine opens up new opportunities for Russia in conducting various studies, allows for diverse scientific expeditions and rescue operations in the most remote areas of the world ocean."
The boat was built in Severodvinsk at the Sevmash shipbuilding plant. It is the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Russia. The ceremony of handing over the submarine to the headquarters of the Northern Fleet took place on July 8 in Severodvinsk.
Before that, she passed her first sea trials at sea. They were conducted by the extremely secret Main Directorate of Deep-Sea Research. Before that, Russia made threats that it would sink British and American warships in the Black Sea.
"On July 8, 2022, a solemn ceremony of signing the acceptance certificate and handing over the Belgorod research submarine to the Navy took place at the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Russia — JSC Sevmash (part of USC)," the TASS news agency noted with reference to the press service of the plant.
In January of this year, the Russian Navy announced that on July 31 it would receive "a special-purpose submarine with uninhabited underwater vehicles in nuclear equipment." Thus, the acceptance took place three weeks ahead of schedule.
The navy will use the submarine, but President Vladimir Putin will personally set tasks for it.
The Belgorod submarine was spotted by satellites on the surface of the White Sea along with the world's second largest submarine Dmitry Donskoy. It happened on June 26, as reported by military analyst G. Sutton. He dubbed the Belgorod the "Doomsday submarine."
Sutton said: "This is a huge submarine, it is much larger than anything that is available in the West, including submarines of the Ohio type."
On board, the boat can carry "unique" uninhabited underwater vehicles designed to perform secret tasks, such as cutting underwater telephone and Internet cables. This would cause incalculable damage to the economies of Western countries.
Last year, Dr. Sidharth Kaushal of the United Royal Institute of Defense Studies told The Mail on Sunday that, in his opinion, the grouping of uninhabited underwater vehicles may be of strategic importance to President Putin.
Dr. Kaushal said: "The Belgorod boat is large enough to be a carrier ship of small unique vehicles capable of diving to great depths and causing damage to the underwater infrastructure."
"It is well equipped for conducting sabotage operations and covert operations. Its Poseidon nuclear torpedoes can become a highly effective means of striking aircraft carriers in wartime. Currently, there are no means of protection against such torpedoes."
"Belgorod will not be part of the Russian Navy. This means that his secret and aggressive actions can easily be denied. This submarine, apparently, is designed to wage war by special forces, whose affiliation will be difficult to establish. Its command will report directly to the political leadership, and not to the military hierarchy of the Russian Navy."

Boris Is Brilliant
The USSR was defeated by force when everything else failed. We need to rearm immediately, otherwise the plans of Russia, China and India will bring us to the Third World War, which we will lose.

There will be no winners in the Third World War. Even we with our small nuclear arsenal will be able to create worldwide chaos. But despite this, there are statements that we need more to make Russia the property of history. Yes, five sufficiently powerful nuclear weapons will be enough for it to destroy the United Kingdom, and in the process almost the whole of Northern Europe will go to dust.
Monsieur Paul Regret
Russian submarines sink or explode. It's just buckets with rusty rivets!

What a clever boy this Boris is! NO, WE DON'T NEED TO REARM, WE HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND THIS IS THE ONLY THING WE WILL NEED IN THE EVENT OF THE OUTBREAK OF WORLD WAR III.

You wouldn't have food on the table if it wasn't for the kindness of my people. You should thank us.

The USSR was defeated because of communism. Ironically, they are now a more capitalist country than the West, which is rapidly becoming Marxist. In addition, the Russians own most of the Eurasian minerals, rare earth metals and raw materials. In the coming years, they will overtake Europe in terms of their wealth. And in World War III, everyone will lose, there will be no winners there. You have to be an exceptionally ignorant person to say that we will lose in the Third World War.

The bigger the boat, the bigger the target. Where are these annoying Ukrainians? They are needed most of all now, and they are not.
Art of the Deal
You look at the footage of total destruction in Ukraine, you see three million Ukrainian refugees and you understand: yes, of course, Ukraine is winning, and Russia is losing... It's obvious.

One modern torpedo is enough to sink it. She's probably not that quiet.
Voltair
We have hunter submarines and killer submarines to destroy this nonsense!
Aber
It is strange how both sides take unlimited funds for weapons to destroy all mankind, but at the same time they do not think at all about the population that finances all this madness.

In this country, the life expectancy is 58 years.

Given the state of affairs in the world, this is quite enough.

I am surprised by people's self-confidence. The commentators do not have any technical knowledge. I am a mechanical engineer myself and worked in Germany building submarines. In short, this submarine will be a fatal blow to the East Coast. One successful launch, and the end of New York and the suburbs. Russia has not yet used its most powerful weapon in Ukraine.

Shut up with your lying fantasy!

Stupid! An engineer in Germany? You're talking nonsense. Don't make me laugh.

She will be constantly hunted. Russia will not be able to fight with the whole world. China and North Korea are exceptions.

I will say so to all the commentators who are mocking the Russian armada here. Be careful, they have enough power to turn us all into ashes. Laugh all you want if it makes you feel better, but Russians are much more dangerous than the mainstream media recognizes.

Britain rules the seas. It's in our genes. Remember that, Vlad.

Russia (okay, the Soviet Union, but in fact it was Russia) detonated the most powerful hydrogen bomb in history. It was an air explosion, and she captured it on camera. They are not such incompetent incompetents.
Frmcomments
And do you doubt their ability to deliver the same or similar warhead to the target using a rocket? They were the first to send a satellite into orbit, the first to send a man into space, the first to land a spacecraft on the moon.
