Russia's sea-based strategic strike force has always been very powerful. Today, Russia's nuclear Blackfish, a submarine capable of launching Zircon hypersonic missiles from the sea, is in service, taking enemy targets by surprise. This missile is extremely targeted and can even hunt aircraft carriers directly. In the face of the frequent appearance of NATO countries in military exercises around Russia and the fact that military aircraft are constantly circling in the vicinity of Russian airspace, Russia will not sit idly by. Earlier, the United States** quoted sources as saying that the Russian army is constantly amassing underwater forces and is infesting major waters around the world, including near the US coastline and in the Mediterranean. With the escalation of the situation, the frequency of the activities of Russian submarines has also increased, apparently trying to respond to the aggressiveness of the West by such means. It must be admitted that this strategy is quite effective. (Russian nuclear submarines are frequently unveiled). Recently, Russia launched a new nuclear submarine called "Arkhangelsk". This is one of the most modern *** multipurpose nuclear submarines, which has a well-developed tracking system, which is able to easily track targets and attack when the time comes.
The submarine has a special coating for maximum quietness, and it can dive to a depth of 600 meters and a length of 130 meters. In addition, "Arkhangelsk" is armed with "Onyx" and "Caliber" cruise missiles, and in the future it will be equipped with "Zircon" missiles. You know, "Zircon" is a hypersonic cruise missile with a scramjet engine, which can easily hunt aircraft carriers, and its power should not be underestimated. In this case, Russia pays great attention to secrecy. On social **, it can be seen that the "Arkhangelsk" is slowly pushed out of the slipway, but the whole view is tightly obscured, and only certain angles are allowed to be filmed. The propeller is also particularly protected, because the submarine is able to be elusive, and it depends heavily on the propeller. The design of the propeller is one of the most important secrets. Because some people can analyze the rotational speed by the construction of the propeller. Once the other party has obtained the shape and speed of the propeller, it is possible to calculate its output and even the type of engine. In this way, the enemy will respond early, the probability of the nuclear submarine being detected will be greatly increased, and the combat power will also be affected.
A hypersonic missile called "Zircon" can reach 9 times the speed of sound and has a range of up to 1000 km. Launched from the Russian defense zone, it can cover almost the North Atlantic and most of the Arctic. Due to its extremely high speed, the missile still has extremely high kinetic energy at the end of the flight, and coupled with the warhead load it is equipped with, it can basically "hit the soul with one shot" against the enemy's surface ships. Therefore, the Russian media have been praising the "Zircon" hypersonic missile as "incomparable". Putin said proudly, "There is nothing comparable in the world now, Zircon is invincible." In the future, Russia will have 8 Ash-M multipurpose nuclear-powered submarines, of which 4 will belong to the Northern Fleet, and the other 4 will belong to the Pacific Fleet. These nuclear submarines can hunt enemy aircraft carriers, on the one hand, they can duel with attack submarines, track and destroy strategic missile submarines, and on the other hand, they can disrupt enemy shipping and achieve the goal of hunting aircraft carriers. The previous Russian fleet had also Xi hunting aircraft carrier formations, which is enough to show that Russia has long had this plan.
In addition, Russia's "Vine" global reconnaissance satellite system can monitor the world's oceans from space, and strikes against targets will be more accurate. With these modernized **, Russia can fight back at NATO's strategic squeeze and guarantee the effectiveness of nuclear deterrence. In terms of land-based nuclear forces, the Russian army has more than 300 intercontinental missiles, including models such as the SS-18, SS-19 and SS-27. Today, Russia is developing new intercontinental missiles and upgrading existing ones. As an important part of the triad of nuclear forces, Russia's air-based nuclear forces are also very powerful, with a large number of strategic bombers that can carry Kh-55 and Kh-102 missiles to deliver precision strikes against targets thousands of kilometers away. (For example, the Tu-160 strategic bomber). However, in recent years, as the United States has continuously updated its nuclear arsenal, deployed anti-missile systems, and frequently "withdrawn from the group", NATO's actions around Russia have also doubled the pressure on Moscow.
