British edition: Russia's deployment of Zircon hypersonic missiles will disrupt NATO's maritime defense system

Armament of naval ships fleet Russia's Zircon hypersonic missiles will lead to a breakthrough in the event of a conflict of the naval defense of the North Atlantic Alliance. The British edition of Express writes about this, analyzing the topic of modernizing the Russian armed forces, which is unpleasant for the West.

As you know, Zircon hypersonic missiles are capable of hitting targets at a distance of thousands of kilometers. That is, countries such as Great Britain, located quite far from Russia, are defenseless before them.

Mark Almond, director of the Institute for Crisis Studies, believes that such developments by Russia have allowed Moscow to prevent the West's possible plans for more active intervention in the conflict in Ukraine. Precisely fearing a powerful Russian weaponsThe West today acts only indirectly in Ukraine, not wanting to cross certain lines, the intersection of which could lead to a direct confrontation between NATO and the Russian Federation.

We also recall that today Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the dispatch of the frigate Admiral Gorshkov to military service. This ship of the Russian Navy is armed with Zircon hypersonic missiles and Caliber cruise missiles. It will set sail across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean, just as the Ukrainian conflict continues to escalate.

Earlier, representatives of the US Department of Defense acknowledged the existing backlog of the country in terms of hypersonic weapons from Russia and China. This circumstance also keeps Washington from ill-considered actions.

The British are alarmed and are preparing an asymmetric response. Increase the number of their nuclear warheads on duty from 180 to 260 (by 40%).

Well, the attention of the Strategic Missile Forces to the islanders increased by the same percentages, that’s all ...

Will not help. In the event of a conflict with the use of Ya.O. England's fate is sealed.
It is better for them not to twitch at all if they want to survive.
How did their former defense minister blurt out there?
Shut up and crawl to the side.
It's time for England to get rid of imperial phantom pains.

[Voenoboz]

I completely agree with you, they were mooing with someone else, and it’s time for Europe to shut up, it’s time to understand the limitedness of the territory. Our kings are not good fellows, who expanded their kingdom in such a way and saved many peoples due to expansion.

Pity the Scots! They seem to want independence.

But even 200 large nuclear warheads from England are capable of destroying all major cities in the European part of Russia.
Even without the participation of US nuclear forces. This also needs to be understood.

Native, breathe out))))
Doctrine of pre-emptive strike adopted. And if we strike first, then it’s good there if a couple of missiles have time to start. From the Baltic to London a couple of minutes of flight)))

They have all nuclear weapons on submarines. So, at least the first, at least zero, they will not be touched and they will shoot back.
The Britons are not idiots, they understand the vulnerability of ground systems within their borders, which is why they brought their arsenal to the okiya.

So the other way around too.

The whole point of nuclear weapons as a DETERRENT WEAPON is that its owner cannot be destroyed with impunity (with modern missile defense systems at least), the answer will always find the addressee, even if not fatal (for a large country like the Russian Federation, China, India or the USA), but it is very painful will be for anyone. It is enough for 3-4 missiles (and this is the most benign scenario, more likely 30-40) to fly to the cities of a million people ... is it worth it?

So cover the hat thrower, he is not dancing today.

[Boycott]

they have all nuclear weapons on submarines

Yeah, as many as 4 submarines, of which half suddenly broke down, 8 missiles each. 40 warheads in total if all 4 go into the ocean. The power is indescribable. They would sit small-shaven and breathe every other time so that they would not be noticed, but itching.

On duty at sea with such a number, there can only be one. So she has a chance to survive from a preemptive strike and try to snap back.

[And Us Rat]

Quote: bayard

So she has a chance to survive from a preemptive strike and try to snap back.

And she will. 16 Trident II missiles, these are 16 * 8 = 128 W88 warheads with a capacity of 475 kt.
Let half of the blende, it's still about 60 warheads.
Let half not reach, it's 30 warheads.
A 475kt warhead will kill up to half of the population of a millionaire city, and irradiate the other half.
This means that the losses from this "snarl" can reach 15.000.000 people, more than 10% of the population of the Russian Federation, and another 10% from oncology in the next decade.
I generally keep quiet about environmental and economic damage.
So it won’t work to throw hats, even if it cracks.

Alexey, welcome. And happy New Year!
However, to the point. SBP, like no other type of weapon, requires specificity and thoroughness in matters of judgment about: "how much, what, where and how can be used." So, "to our sheep!"
Here is what VIC says:

In 1982, the Thatcher government announced its decision to purchase 65 American Trident II D-5 missiles. They were located and prepared in the arsenal at the naval base of the submarine Kings Bay in the United States. The UK will produce its own submarines and warheads. The warheads and missiles were to be paired in the UK. Four Avangard-class submarines were designed and built.

Next:

Each SSBN can carry up to 16 SLBMs, each of which can carry up to 8 BGs. However, when the decision to purchase Trident II was announced, it was emphasized that British Trident boats will carry no more than 128 warheads In November 1993, Secretary of Defense Malcolm Rifkind announced that each SSBN would carry no more than 96 warheads. In 2010, this was reduced to a maximum of 40 warheads divided into 8 missiles.

Therefore - "200" - does not roll! Yes, England has 225 tons of warheads. Of which only 160 units are in combat readiness. At the same time, they were allocated a total of 48 SLBMs for 4 carriers. Although 58 SLBMs have been purchased, 10 are constantly being "reloaded" in the Amer arsenal. The British have no other SBPs. Nuclear depth charges were decommissioned in 1992, followed by WE.31 free fall bombs on 1998 March 177, all dismantled by the end of August 1988.
The Ams have an arsenal of B61-12s at Lakenheath for the F-35A, but the British have no control over them.
So, they are all somewhat "more modest" than described by you, dear friend!

What's the point? Anyway, something will fly in response. That's why it is called a "weapon of deterrence", to ensure that the attacker does not go unpunished. Therefore, a real existential reason is needed to attack first.

And you are for the blue or for the red. You are sure that the coordinates where you live are not included in the flight mission of our rocket. They tested their anti-missile defense, for a hundred targets where only a tiny part of these are warheads? Your missile defense system can distinguish inflatable metallized packages from warheads. No matter how you are among our friends.

A good bite in response to the last, there will definitely be enough strength. So the idea is quite idiotic, because there are no objective reasons for such a development of events in principle.

[tralflot1832]

Dambiev has the launch of Zircon in the cart at the start, already without censorship. This is not casual.

[digger]

it was not the Britons who increased it ... but in fact the Americans because nuclear weapons are all American. There is not a single British nuclear warhead / nuclear block and ballistic missile. The Americans said to increase and gave it to the younger ones.

Let them cook.
In order to reset the UK, 3-4 Sarmats are enough, each of which has 10 warheads with a charge capacity of 750 kilotons in each block. Hiroshima, for example, was hit by a 20 kiloton bomb.
So, on the contrary, it would be better for them to take off their vigorous b / heads from duty, otherwise the hour is uneven, they will definitely beg for their own head.

750kt is a confident defeat of an area of ​​400 km², the area of ​​​​England (excluding Ireland and Scotland) is 133 km².

Not significant across the country.

. The question is, but to fight directly, with each other or in a crowd, does anyone expect at all ???
Pointless debate, because no one can say the exact answer!

This circumstance also keeps Washington from ill-considered actions.

Yes, all the actions of Washington are ill-conceived !!! That's why you need to be reminded...

It will set sail across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean, just as the Ukrainian conflict continues to escalate.

There is no news from Severomorsk about the composition of the squadron. But there is still a fresh one from England from another newspaper. What kind of "Owl" is this, I only know two birds and a song.

About glitches and nausea - this is from "seasickness" among the arrogant people ... Because, on combat alert, everyone sits in closed power supplies with closed-loop ventilation and stares not at the sea distance, but at the displays of their weapon control devices ...
But anti-ship missiles with OLS guidance (IR / UV seeker in anti-ship missiles) even go blind when they hit the Fili strobe ... Therefore, they stand side by side ... and are used in a complex at the last frontier along with IR traps and other electronic warfare gadgets.

It is necessary to take care of the frigate so that it reaches Tartus, it is still more convenient there, and Khmeimim is not far away ...

Britain today has the most unpredictable, most un-British government in its history. The British seem to like it very much. They think that the policy of state robbery pursued by this government will bear fruit and they will live "under" communism, "as they have wanted since the time of F. Engels.

Sometimes on the battlefield everything is decided not by the quality, but by the quantity of weapons.
Let's remember the Battle of Kursk, our tanks were inferior to the German ones, but there were more of them.
Now the West will think about how to sink our ship with a torpedo of unknown production .....

So the Pot probably alone with SUCH weapons will not work. Surely there will be someone else from the board nearby, and someone under water (it will definitely be!) Will also be there. This is to give "combat stability" to the OBK. ABC OI, however.
AHA.

[Arkady007]

Russia's deployment of Zircon hypersonic missiles was done to show NATO their vulnerability.
But when the frigate passes along the coast of the United States, there will be even more screams. Although he does not need to go far for launches in that direction.
But when he appears there, conversations about friendship and cooperation will begin.
