National Interest: Russian “Calibers” pose a threat to both Europe and the USA
“The other day the Russian Ministry of Defense published a video of the successful launch of a sea-launched Caliber missile from the nuclear submarine Severodvinsk in the Barents Sea. This video confirms that Russian shock submarines can attack any target on the globe. But after the end of the Cold War, it was mainly the naval forces of Western countries that were capable of this, ”the article cites. InoTV.
Also, the Russian Navy can "deliver rocket attacks on most of Northern and Western Europe from their surface combat ships and non-nuclear submarines," the author continues.
The author notes that the Calibres demonstrate their full potential when they are placed on nuclear submarines of the Russian Navy. “Considering the speed and ability of Russian nuclear submarines to conceal and move around the world, Moscow can use its submarines with the Caliber onboard to attack targets anywhere in the world, using conventional or “Nuclear warheads,” he fears.
All this means that the United States "no longer owns the monopoly on delivering long-range aimed missile strikes," the publication states. Moreover, the appearance of such weaponsas cruise missiles "Caliber", showed that now objects in the United States "may be under the gun of other great powers."
