US Press: Satellite images show possible carrier of Poseidon nuclear torpedoes

The Russian Navy continues to develop ways to deploy its latest strategic weapons - torpedoes equipped with a nuclear warhead.

As reported in the USNI News edition, the armament of the Russian fleet Poseidon, which the Pentagon has qualified as an "autonomous intercontinental torpedo with a nuclear warhead," requires the construction of new bases and infrastructure. The construction of new facilities makes it possible to identify the locations of the deployment of a new combat system.

Satellite imagery confirms that Poseidon can be deployed on the Akademik Aleksandrov special-purpose ship [listed in the Navy as a rescue tug, research vessel]. At the same time, it seems that there is a nuclear torpedo or its imitation on board.

- approved in the publication.

The keywords are "similar" and "imitation" ...

According to the American author, work at the naval base in Severodvinsk (carefully studied by NATO from space - approx. "VO"), began in 2018 and was almost completed in 2020. “Akademik Aleksandrov” was observed there in July and August. The base has a large building that was recently erected next to a new pier, which, judging by the images, is "directly related to nuclear torpedo testing activities."

As noted, Severodvinsk is closely associated with the Poseidon program. There were ships and specialized submarines that participated in the early tests of new weapons.

Poseidon represents a new category of strategic weapons and is changing the shape of the nuclear threat. The new system is expected to operate extremely quickly and from great depths.

- Listed in USNI News.

A fleet of new carrier submarines will move the Poseidon to the deployment point. The first of these, K-329 Belgorod, is currently based directly across the river from the new berth. The submarine is undergoing sea trials and is preparing to calibrate the sonar. A second submarine for Poseidon, Khabarovsk, is being built nearby. Ultimately, it is expected that four submarines will be built for it and in the coming years they will begin to go out on operational patrols.

Observing objects such as the new berth gives an idea of ​​the new capabilities of the Russian Navy. It also shows the enormous cost of the program, requiring new infrastructure and many test ships and submarines.

- the conclusion is made in the US press.

The ability to observe from US satellites for the introduction of new weapons into the Russian Federation gives reason to say that Russia is acting quite openly in this regard and is not going to hide the capabilities of its latest weapons from anyone. Although the term used in the US press about possible imitation may raise other issues as well.

[antivirus]

really imitation is shown .. everything is already working and the Poseidons are chasing in simple tugs - under the keel. to deceive, those tugs go either with Kuznetsov, or with other 1-2 kl ships.

a big hoax in action - the Russian Federation does not need the fleet, tugs are needed. only 5-7 pcs. ... 4 pcs for 4 delivery points to the US coast, 2 to Western Europe, 1 to Tokyo

[Alex777]

Each inflatable Poseidon = multiple heart attacks in the US NAVY command and not only ...

[Ilya-spb]

A terrible secret! I will divulge ...

Poseidon is hidden in a lighthouse in Spain. The very ... Who heroically stopped the US 6th Fleet.

And the pier is really new. On Google maps, there are only piles in this place.

Well, it will be for each carrier not 2 but 3 virginias on the tail hang.
And drown and intercept the torpedo

This is not a "strategist" - an ordinary troll.

[VORON538]

By the way, yes, recently they (or it) are registered in batches on VO. A few comments, and into oblivion.

[antivirus]

so who's smart where? who is sitting? who walks? who is crawling (cannot fly)?


................................... in the MO there have never been smart ones - only in smoking rooms and right now on topvar

it is not clear where the smart ones from the smokers then dispersed - to the slave of the place or to other smoking rooms

[Stepan S]

Well, they are experiencing something, I don't see anything wrong with that.

[Errr]

Come on!
So, shamelessly-video-reporting, "Akademik Aleksandrov" rolled away from the pier and went out to the White Sea to complete the final stage of sea-going factory tests right with the top-secret "Poseidon" sticking out insolently behind the stern? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRexqjuUyfg&app=desktop

[alch3mist]

right with the top-secret Poseidon sticking out insolently behind the stern?

Riggers, bastards, got drunk and threw the load at random.

The title of the article is so-so. What kind of carrier is it?

US Press: Satellite images show possible carrier Inuclear torpedoes "Poseidon"

But quite recently the Merikatos were shouting in unison that these were all cartoons of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

And also there was a wave of publications about the uselessness of Poseidon and even his uselessness, and harm to Russia.

[Tests]

The first-born "Zvezdochka" - SBS "Zvezdochka" pr. 20180 Why didn't you count? It is not far from "Severstal" and "Arkhangelsk" often stands at the pier of the Belomorskaya naval base. And more than one Poseidon can carry, but also underwater vehicles that can go to the seas on it, they cut cables at the bottom of the Atlantic ... where NATO members have been with inspections many times. It was there that the equipment provided by the partners for the disposal of our nuclear submarines was located.

In the 90s, a friend of mine worked on a guillotine (on Yu. Yagrakh, that's right), which was kindly provided by the "partners" and routinely cut boats that he had recently built and repaired. I wonder how it is being used now?

[Serge-667]

As I understand it, Poseidon is a new religion like that?

[Bez 310]

We do not know anything about some "Poseidons", and it is not a fact that
someday we will find out. Our business is to tighten the belts tighter,
and where the budget money goes, we do not need to know. I think this
"project" is one of the most expensive and meaningless.

[Stepan S]

I think this
"project" is one of the most expensive and meaningless.

Many recently considered the Crimean bridge the most expensive and pointless. And in view of the fact that we know little about this project, then its cost is unknown to us. And technologies need to be developed, built and tested, no matter how much we want to spend everything on sausage and processed cheese.

Where do the comments disappear? In the presence of 13, spelled out-25?

What frightens our partners the most is the lack of information. Then all the super experts, they will think of everything !!!

Yes, in what, and even in the absence of noodles, both for external and internal consumption, the current authorities can be blamed.

[VORON538]

In this situation, something else is interesting. The Americans claim that they have satellite images of the allegedly Russian Buk that shot down a Malaysian Boeing in 2014, but they cannot provide them because they are like secret there, so as not to disclose the technical characteristics of satellites and special equipment, etc. in general, "highley like" and offer to believe them, far from gentlemen, at their word. In other cases, when they publish photos from satellites (modern photos), there is no secrecy, and nothing is disclosed, and in general everything is normal and clearly visible. So, are there even their own photos of those allegedly Russian launchers? With a high degree of probability, no, otherwise they would have already shown them to the whole world, as well as those photos that we see in the article! hi

[Tramp]

it is imperative to surround America with such weapons from two oceans in order to sleep peacefully. Everything can be expected from these coves.

Will you be able to substantiate, at least in terms of financial costs for this project, or, like Timokhin and Klimov, are you just showing us a "way out with a gypsy"?

[Normann]

It is clear and understandable that this is a journalistic stuffing, the one who follows the PGRK is aware of everything (almost)

[KADINIK]

Look at the pictures that are clear. Not that they photographed their missions on the Moon, from a much smaller distance and in airless space.

[Ignatius of Torquemada]

But WHAT, do the Americans really think that the Russians are so stupid that they do not know that they are being watched from the air ?? As I personally know, our specialists on earth have always done everything in the absence of American satellites in the area of ​​the event, back in the seventies of the last century!

And further . For some reason, everyone forgets that the current "Poseidons" and the concept of encircling the enemy with a network of such torpedoes was originally invented by AD Sakharov and the torpedo was planned to "live" in a dormant position. With the current level of submarine development, everyone knows that at a depth of more than 300 meters and a speed of 8-10 knots, a boat cannot be found! Why would the Poseidons be delivered somewhere? Launched them and let them teleport themselves under control to their destination, in a couple of weeks it will come and lie down and will wait!

[Momento]

in principle, sugars like wrote that the power of a thermonuclear charge can be almost infinitely increased.
so that one charge is enough and it is not necessary to deliver anywhere - it does not matter where to detonate. the result is the same - all of humanity will die out. see you in heaven)

[Varaga]

Ours "shine" only what can (and should) "shine". About the real base of the carriers, as well as about the carriers of "Poseidon" themselves, the pin-dos will not learn soon. If they find out at all. Such a weapon against amers is also needed. Let them be afraid - they will "twitch" less.
As our midshipman Oleinik said:
- For you do not need! ..

[Vasyok]

They also found me a problem for the Americans, to find out where the pisiydon is. For money, you will be given this torpedo itself. In the pin / dosov colony EVERYTHING is on sale.
