      They will be looking for a long time))))) Great Britain, although it is a nuclear power, but in essence this is a nominal rank. 4 submarines are not serious.

        Four modern submarines with ballistic missiles is VERY serious, believe me.

            I speak without sarcasm. This is really a serious force, especially when the missiles of these submarines are aimed at our cities.

          And 6 boats of project 212 with an air-independent power plant and autonomy of 50 days and nuclear cruise missiles on board is this power?

        These 4 submarines carry 16 ICBMs each missile can carry 10 warheads - if necessary and in case of war they will very quickly cover a third of our military bases in 7 minutes.

        We have KON PLARB 0,1-0,15 (and even during the USSR it never exceeded 0,5 (in the early 80s, due to the use of equipment and personnel for wear), i.e. from both fleets in the service of 1 -2 SSBNs, and sometimes not even a single one. A fresh photo from Gadzhievo in confirmation, that is, on the use of ICBMs (SLBMs) ​​on a nuclear submarine, we are, by and large, equal to Britain (provided that the full BC is carried on English boats).

      ????? If SSBNs are placed on the island, this only means that those who made the decision and the initiates either have already left this territory, or are already on "suitcases".

      Money, money and money again. England took Scotland purely financially and retained the same.

        On TV they showed How counted the voices and How voted! "Democracy"! If everything was according to the rules, Scotland would be independent ... from Britain. And from the Americos?

    And what is included in this modernization is interesting ... the modernization of berths or nuclear weapons storage facilities for submarines.

    The unkilled argument. But "sorry, I don't recognize you in makeup" ... Forgive me, but I do not grasp the logical connection between the modernization of the base and the search for Russian boats. After all, proceeding from this, the modernization of the base in Vilyuchinsk means that we will start looking for "Virginia" there?

    Great Britain, although it is a nuclear power, but in fact the title is nominal. 4 submarines are not serious.

    Well, based on this, there are only two "non-nominal" nuclear powers in the world. Russia and the United States, all others are nominal. The PRC EMNIP has 4 SSBNs of project 094 and one outdated project 091. Moreover, they all carry 12 missiles.
    Purely nominal is France with its 4 SSBNs. Well, India, Pakistan, Israel, and even more so the DPRK, do not dare to call the language even nominal nuclear powers. They don’t have submarines (since the number of boats is a rating criterion)

    So what? They are bought in the USA, although MOTs do take place in the USA. But they are on boats in the UK and under its operational management

    And no one knows what kind of modernization it is, but everyone has already decided everything and ridiculed the UK
    The routine process caused a storm of emotions.

    Actually, this does not apply to nuclear forces, as you write, forced to fork out.
    This is not the purchase of new tridents, not the laying of a new missile carrier. This is a base upgrade. Or is this not happening with us, are bases not being reconstructed and modernized ???

    In fact, modernization is just a waste of money to good use. Everything is better than drank

    Submarines with missiles ??? Are you probably stuck in 1995? Since the two were adopted in 1995. The first - Wangard - 93, the second - 95, the third at 96 and the last, the fourth at 99
