Russian 955A "God of the North Wind" strategic nuclear submarine "Prince Oleg (K-552)"
Russian Ministry of Defense 28th released the troop configuration information, 955A "God of the North Wind" strategic nuclear submarine "Prince Oleg (K-552)" and 855M "Asen-class" nuclear-powered attack submarine "Novosibirsk (K-571)" were included in the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet. Military experts evaluated that such configuration of the Russian Navy will put pressure on Far East , the Western Pacific and the Arctic Circle , and we need to pay more attention to the nuclear weapons hints that Russian President Putin said recently, "In order to protect the country and the people, all the means currently controlled will be used."
According to the records, the "Prince Oleg" is the Russian 955-improved Type 955A-type No. 2 ship. This ship can carry 16 R-30 "Round Hammer" submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles. The missile carries 6 submarine-headed missiles and has a combat range of 10,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to covering all important cities in the United States from the "door to home of the Russian Pacific Fleet" Okhotsk Sea to all important cities in the United States; it is the core corner of Russia's " nuclear trinity ". The Novosibirsk has eight launch devices that can launch 3M-54 "caliber" cruise missiles that can carry nuclear warhead , 3M22 "Zircon" hypersonic cruise missiles, and up to 30 torpedo and 32 "gem" anti-ship missiles .
Experts analyzed that the two nuclear submarines revealed by the Russian Ministry of Defense are all arranged in the Far East region, which is a standard "strategic dispersion", because the submarine that was previously in service was equipped with the Russian northern fleet, which is equivalent to having heavy troops in Eurasian . Experts warn that Putin's implications for nuclear weapons cannot be underestimated, especially the assumption that Putin will only use tactical nuclear weapons on the Ukrainian battlefield on a regional, small scale, because Putin knows that since he uses nuclear weapons, the "consequences" will be extremely tragic, and no matter where he is used, he or Russia will not be able to get rid of the sanctions. Therefore, under the most extreme circumstances, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of launching a nuclear attack directly on the US mainland, overseas bases or allies. These submarines equipped with nuclear weapon will be important targets that need to be kept close.
