Russia to build 6 nuclear subs with cruise missiles
 

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Russia will build at least six nuclear-powered submarines with long-range cruise missiles for its navy, a source in the Russian Defense Ministry told the Itar-Tass news agency.

The missiles can potentially carry low-capacity tactical warheads, the news agency reported Friday.

"These supersonic, highly maneuvering missiles are designed for strikes on aircraft carriers of the enemy if the latter poses a direct threat to Russia's security," the unnamed source told Itar-Tass. "The missiles can be launched at the most important coastal facilities."

The source added, "Despite the construction of a new nuclear submarine with new missiles, Russia intends to observe firmly international arms control agreements on equal terms with other countries."

The Severodvinsk-class submarines are being built at the Sevmash shipyard, the center of Russian nuclear submarine production, according to Global Security's Web site.

The new subs will be put into service for the Russian navy in 2011, the source told Itar-Tass.

Russia will finance the construction of the new submarine with long-range cruise missiles, First Deputy Chief of the Navy's General Staff, Vice-Admiral Oleg Burtsev told Itar-Tass.

Spring Sunday morning isn't good time for political debates... but If you trust that the anti-rockets in Poland and radar in Czechia will build against the Iranian rockets, you should trust that submarines will build against pirates of gulf of Aden

Why you used a red font? War will begin tonight?:winkwink:

How comforting.

:(

Russia already has more nuclear subs than any country in the world, as well as the largest ones in the world (Typhoon class) since the 80's..

They're 175 meters long, that's 575 feet (Rounded up)... They've got like, 40 of 'em.

The US and Russia have too many strong nuclear subs, ideally we should just stay friends LOL. Russian chicks can be pretty hot ! (Not the one's that eat their friends in front of their children though)

have spy photo of new submarine:winkwink:

By the way, if anyone doubts that the Russkis have an inferiority complex and are hostile to the USA, just re-read that above PR, especially the reference to the "enemy's aircraft carriers."

Only one country has a significant fleet of aircraft carriers.

I suppose the sub story is kinda scary, but how does it compare to this?...

Your correct about them being the largest in the world, but they never had forty. They had six, only one of which may or may not be in operation.

BTW.... The History channel recently had a show about decomissioning one of these bad boys. It was like a two year process where they put it in dry dock and stripped it down into pieces.

hmmmmm... Russia have 1 aircraft carrier only - "Admiral Kuznetsov", 1990

but have more lethal weapons:winkwink:

haha, you're right, I was being sarcastic. They don't have many, but i do believe they have more nuclear subs in the world than any other country, many smaller ones not of the "Typhoon" class. They had footage of one of them that was being used in a documentary I saw, which i think was just about nuclear subs in general, not the Russians' subs.

I don't know if the new ones are going to be bigger than the typhoons though, I didn't read the whole story.

Id rather Russia dealt with their 100+ nuclear submarines that they need to decommission, rather than just letting them rot with their cargo of nuclear fuel.

uh oh, better cancel Christmas

wow wtf are those things?!?!!?

And where are they going to get the money for that?

crazy times we live in :helpme

Peace to Peace!
Smile and have nice spring day!

am i the only one who foresees a chinese, russian, iranian, n.korean, venezuelan gangbang of the USA in the future?

Nope.

It can happen, and it may. Hopefully Japan's super robot soldier's will be ready and they stay on our side this time.

i'll be boning the fuck out at even the hint of that happening

USA still have more nuclears then all rest together

oh i forgot cuba and pakistan!

You're probably right in the broad scope of all nuclear ballistics. I just know russia has WAY too many damn subs, lol.

ufffffff... now you can exclude Grenada from top of main evil enemy

WhAT is that ?????????:Oh crap

I see nothing wrong with Russia trying to counterbalance the US's overwhelming naval military superiority. Balance of forces leads to stability while imbalance leads to conflict. Additionally Russia's rising strength can also serve as a counterbalance to China. A unipolar world has shown itself to be unworkable since the fall of the USSR. Failed terrorist states like Somalia and Afghanistan are the result of this power vacuum. Iran would not be going nuclear in Russia's backyard if they had proper respect for Russian power.

good for russians.

We in the UK will come to The USA'S help with our bow and arrows....I will smother those dam ruskys with my panties :pimp

You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. And watch China next.

Yeah, but we've still got JAMES BOND

the red menace rises once again :)

Damm I wish the Cold War is back...

Why would we care? They already have enough nukes to do us in. Let em build more with their oil money. The world has definitely moved to trade as the weapon of choice not subs.

but Rambo for russians now!:thumbsup oil money, хули...

Well the second one with the tank is from the US.. It's some sort of testing set up. The tank fires into it. The other thing, is obviously something some crazy drunk Ruisan came up with.

As for the subs.. It seems Russia never grows tired of placing new reefs on the ocean floor.. They don't have a very good track record with subs, that's for damn sure..

:thumbsup

btw i like your avatar :winkwink:

The first image, of the flying battleship, is fake.

I think the second image is a German tank silencer, if I recall correctly.
