A British newspaper made a startling discovery this week: it turns out that Russia has weapons capable of wreaking untold devastation upon its enemies.
What got The Express’ knickers in a twist this time was the K-564 Arkhangelsk, a Yasen-M class nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine that recently underwent sea trials and is expected to enter service in December, 2024.
While the newspaper fears that this submarine could be undetectable by Western adversaries and could pose a serious threat to NATO military bases, naval convoys, and onshore critical infrastructure during a crisis.
It can dive up to 600 meters deep and has a maximum speed of 16 knots on the surface and 31 knots underwater. The submarine has a crew complement of 64 and an endurance of about 100 days, limited by food and maintenance requirements.
The vessel’s armament includes 533 mm torpedo tubes and vertical launch silos for Oniks anti-ship cruise missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles and Zircon hyper-sonic cruise missiles. Both Kalibr and Zircon missiles are nuclear-capable.
This one is number 5 in the series. It’s brother the Kazan is harbored right now in Havana, Cuba and the US Navy and their sub hunters completely failed to find it even at anchor.
Russia’s Christmas gift to NATO.

These type of advanced technology will force the Western military to surrender or use nuclear weapons as last resort.
the only language which the west understands is technological superiority … and Russia leads the way …
Which is why I suggested the Kazan stick around until July 4th then launch its own version of fireworks off the coast of the District of Criminals in international waters.
