Russian submarines in the North Atlantic became a "headache" of NATO

40

In recent years, the characteristics of the Russian Navy submarines have improved, and their crews have significantly improved their skills. The long and long campaigns of Russian submarines in the North Atlantic make NATO doubt its military superiority in this region.

About this writes the American edition of the Wall Street Journal.



Over the past few years, Russia has invested heavily in the modernization of its underwater fleetinherited from the Soviet Union. Now the Russian Federation has more silent and faster submarines that can go unnoticed at great depths and suddenly appear in the most unexpected places.

This is alarming for the NATO leadership, as Russian submarines are capable of disrupting US plans to quickly deploy troops across the Atlantic to Europe if the need arises. Moreover, in the near future it is planned to withdraw about a quarter of the American military contingent from Germany.

Americans are particularly worried about patrolling the Russian submarine fleet of the US East Coast.

And although NATO is in response to increasing the grouping of anti-submarine aircraft P-8A Poseidon in the UK, Norway and Iceland, this does not save the situation. Indeed, in recent years, thanks to its improved characteristics, Russian submarines are able to replay the Poseidons, hiding from them at the bottom of the Atlantic.

    Another article from a series of custom-made. It took money for some kind of program - a Russian underwater threat appeared. Nothing is new. We already went through this. At one time, the United States talked about the missile superiority of the USSR in order to receive additional funding, and talked about otsovaniya
    in strategic bombers. Now - submarines.

      Did she disappear somewhere? request laughing I mean, they need money constantly, and therefore the threat to them is permanent. Yes Unless the immediate source of the threat is changing. Yesterday we went to Poseidon and Petrel, today - PL.

      In general, the fleet is very expensive. And in the case of the United States, in which the fleet is essentially the main force of the Armed Forces, this is an expensive question and, given their doctrine, necessary.

    I wonder how such a need can arise? Is another "landing in Normandy" planned as an evacuation after a massive retaliatory nuclear strike?

      that is, will we drown their ships with personnel on departure? :)))

    There was a relatively recent article, quite literate, that the NATO means of detection do not really allow even Russian submarines to sail off the coast. And here, serenades under the window are singing with laudatory odes. And who should I believe?)

    In youth, if our steamer slowed down when leaving Murmansk and trudged barely to the fishing line, to the Nordkapp-Medvezhka-Spitsbergen line. It’s clear what we were doing. Orion will appear at least once.

    Our submariners are such entertainers. In the mid-90s they went on the "baton", sorry, I don’t know the project. Between Canada and Greenland. We caught the AUG in the Atlantic and posted a photo taken through the periscope. Amers had such hysteria. The commander of the nuclear submarine and the admiral accompanying him, like the heroes of Russia received for this campaign.

    I hope I won’t hurt the submariners' joke. The Russian submarine in the middle of the Atlantic is underwater. Commander’s compartment. Navigator: We can’t decide where we are, we’ve lost our coordinates! SO the last time I do it because of you. Commander: there is acoustics on the surface, there is acoustics and there is a single vessel right on the course. The torpedo compartment has two torpedoes on the noise or the radist and you write down the coordinates when this drowned person will SOS give. That's it ! But seriously, how the submariners determine their coordinates without surfacing.

    yes, there was a comment that almost the entire fleet (and submarines) Yankees "graze" in the seas and oceans: there are 2-3 times more of them ... it's like the former first tank line in the former GDR in a serious conflict: they had life before 15 minutes ... until cool to pull up the electronics, incl. and underwater, - there is nothing to catch at all ... someone is very smart it slows down ... you could only hope for railway mobile complexes, but they were also beautifully removed ... so think ...

    The "Murukan" article is interesting for its hidden meanings.
    "Sofa iksperts" VO immediately realized that "American
    the military "demands even more American money to protect
    from the increased power of the Russian submarine fleet.
    The recorded patriots shouted loudly: "Keep it up!", "Slava
    Russian fleet in the ages! ", And began to tell patriotic
    jokes.
    But it’s interesting not only how the warriors intimidate their own, but
    and how Russians are praised:
    "silent and fast submarines able to go unnoticed
    at great depths and suddenly appear in the most unexpected places,
    ... Russian submarines are capable of outperforming Poseidons. "
    In general, the "Murukans" have lost everything, and the Russians are great.
    What is it for? How should we understand this message?

      How to understand this message?
      Thanks to the amendments to the constitution, the Americans were afraid of our nuclear submarines.
      Neither Armat, nor Poseidon, nor the Boomerangs, nor the Su-57, nor Peresvet, nor the eternal GDP, nor are they afraid of anything, but only the submarines are afraid

      This may also mean for our budget that the submariners, as in the 90s, decided again to "pull the blanket over their loved ones", so we hear again the familiar song that literally all the tasks of our fleet can be performed only by one submarine ...
