National Interest: Russian “Calibers” pose a threat to both Europe and the USA

47
The Russian fleet can deliver rocket attacks not only for the most part of Northern and Western Europe, but also anywhere in the world, a recent test of the Caliber missile confirms this, writes The National Interest.



“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.

Thus, the Northern, Baltic, Black Sea and Caspian fleets can pose a threat to vast territories in Europe and the Middle East. Perhaps (rocket) will fly to some countries of the Persian Gulf,
quotes the edition of the senior center employee James Martin Nikolay Sokov.

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."

For Washington, this is a threat that the United States has not encountered since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991,
concludes the author of the publication.

        Gauges seem to want to install part of the BOD 1155. But not at all. For example, the modernization of Shaposhnikov.

          It’s not enough anyway. 8 boards in total 1155 against 64 Arliks ​​11 or more Ticonderoga cruisers. Plus 4 Ohio reprofiled.

              I didn’t even mention it. And one “Ohio” in fact carries 168 “axes”. It can be loaded completely.
              24 * 7 = 168
              168 * 4 = 672
              And these are only 4 carriers.

                Before you panic, you should always compare not quantity, but quality. We will have a thousand of them, but the majority will be nuclear, they will not be used in everyday life (they will drive Bedouins), and in the majority they will take up duty as strategic ones. Including RCC, where the experience of the USSR says that it is better to beat the enemy’s fleet with nuclear devices. They are non-nuclear, although initially they were created as strategic, but because of the depth of the territory of the Russian Federation, they came to the conclusion that they are not very effective, they converted everything into high-precision non-nuclear. Antei, having lost his job after the death of the USSR, namely the pursuit of the AUG in the oceans, as a killer and that now we don’t need at all, will now become a carrier of strategic and naturally nuclear Caliber. And his specialization will be - a blow to stationary targets, including enemy cities, ports, bases, etc. The enemy, unlike us, does not have the depth of the territory, the city in the coastal zone, so the scheme is just right. And Caliber strikes from Varshavyanka and RTOs - EU greetings. Shots with Submarines Caliber - hello USA. From that article is logical.

              True, but for some reason you are silent that these Berks and Tiki are very mediocre protected from the attacks of other ships ... they are imprisoned for work along the shore.
              And if you say that they are covered by the aircraft carrier’s wing, so taking into account how quickly they can lift a large number of boards into the air, it’s not a fact that the aircraft carrier will not go to feed the fish, although it’s practically difficult to do, but it’s possible .
              And for Aegis, if you say, it’s not a fact that this system is really capable of effectively intercepting our anti-ship missiles, which for the most part are super-sound at the finish.

    And the rest are regional.

    And then.
    If the country "of the Western world has some kind of weapon that Russia does not have - that's good - this is the key to peace and stability (peace and stability, this weapon brought to Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, Syria).
    But if Russia has a similar situation, it is a mortal danger for everyone, and, oh God, for the USA.

    Remember why the third world war did not start at the time of the “Caribbean crisis”? Kennedy asked if the military would guarantee him that not a single nuclear charge would reach US territory. They honestly replied that they did not guarantee. And the US "cut the back." Therefore, it makes no sense to measure nuclear power, who has more. “Unacceptable damage” is a sufficient threat. And "Gauges" - a significant addition to poplars, maces, and more wassat

      Profanation. From Cuba, "vigorous loaf" definitely got the United States. Why, in fact, the "Caribbean crisis" arose. It’s one thing to assume that because of the puddles they’ll get it. And the other thing is to know for sure: they will get it, since nearby, in Cuba, the flight time is not 22 minutes, but 2-5 minutes.
      Accordingly, the question was not about the guarantee that nuclear weapons would not fall into the US goals, but about the guarantee of winning the nuclear war (i.e., surviving). What was not.

      These Yankees have long left the treaty. Already in 199X-damned. Now it suddenly turned out - there is no contract, there is no guarantee that we will only fire "in reply".
      The doctrine has changed. It used to be - “touch it - we will answer,” and now - “decide that someone wanted to touch it - IMMEDIATELY”. Preventively.
      In the "official language" it sounds like this: "if there is a real (and not ostentatious, such as a NATO battalion near the border) danger to the integrity of the Russian Federation, then this danger will be eliminated by a nuclear strike." Schaub did not climb, hoping for a "local conflict", etc.
