Just a few months ago, three Russian nuclear submarines completed a simultaneous ice-breaking and floating action in the North Pole. The thickness of the ice-breaking was 1.5 meters, and the distance between the three submarines was less than 300 meters. At present, it seems that the Russian Navy has directly deterred the United States with this operation alone. Not only that, they also showed off their fierce submarines. Then why is the United States scared by a simple action of a Russian submarine? Today, I will talk to you about the mystery of this Russian exercise? And what kind of inspiration does the submarine ice-breaking action have for our submarines?
In fact, the Russian submarine's successful icebreaking action this time shows that they have mastered a strategic killer, that is, the super powerful secondary nuclear strike capability . The so-called one-time nuclear strike capability is the ability to proactively launch nuclear bombs at the opponent. For the time being, there are only two means of nuclear attack. One is like the little boy atomic bomb in the United States during World War II, which is carried directly by a bomber; the other is like my country’s Dongfeng 41 missile . The rocket sends the nuclear warhead directly over the enemy's head.
As for some Russian black technologies such as the Poseidon nuclear torpedo, because they are not routine and are still in experimentation, they are not very versatile. In other words, if does not consider the delivery distance, even India has a nuclear strike. However, the attack method of is actually not advanced. is because if the opponent detects the intent of the attack and takes the first shot, the country cannot escape the fate of being bombed.
Therefore, it is very difficult for a nuclear strike to pose a threat to a nuclear power such as the United States. The United States is actually afraid of Russia’s "throwing when you dare to throw it."That is, the second nuclear strike capability. The so-called second nuclear strike is: Even if you strike first to level my country, my last struggle can wipe you off the map and everyone will die!
In this case, the key to the secondary nuclear strike capability is to hide one's nuclear warheads, so that the opponent can not find it, or make it impossible for the opponent to fight. At the height of the Cold War in the early 1960s, America has always maintained a part of the B52 bomber with nuclear bombs flying in the sky, and a few of them will be launched immediately after landing. The purpose of is to maintain its second time Nuclear strikes; and at the time, in order to fight the United States, the Soviet Union also created the so-called doomsday train, that is, several trains pulling intercontinental nuclear bombs around the country, the location is erratic.
In modern times, there is no need for troublesome trains and airplane cruises. The strategic nuclear submarine is currently the strongest secondary nuclear strike method for mankind. We all know that a nuclear submarine stays on the seabed at a depth of several hundred meters for several months, and has almost no means to monitor its movements.
Because the Russian military weapons have always been durable and durable, their submarines have not been on a precise and meticulous route. Therefore, no matter whether it is diving depth or underwater noise, Russian submarines cannot be compared with American submarines. The special environment of the Arctic Ocean perfectly compensates for almost all the shortcomings of Russian submarines. First of all, whether it is anti-submarine aircraft or sonar bidding, the ice that can be seen everywhere in the Arctic Ocean is helpless.This conceals the shortcomings of Russian submarines that are loud and easy to detect.
Secondly, the average depth of the Arctic Ocean is the shallowest compared to the other three oceans, so this is also very friendly to Russian submarines with poor diving depths. Therefore, the Russian submarine under the large-scale ice sheet of the Arctic is equivalent to a layer of protective shells. can be said to be almost invincible.
However, although the thick ice layer can provide perfect defense for Russian submarines, it also brings a huge trouble to these submarines. That is, when the submarine wants to launch a missile, the ice block prevents it from outcropping and must break the ice to launch it. From the current point of view, no country in the world has an intercontinental missile that can be launched from underwater and forcibly penetrate the Arctic ice.
From this point of view, if the submarine wants to launch missiles in the Arctic Ocean, it has to go up and break the ice. However, is as strong as an American submarine, and can push up to 55 cm of ice at most. This kind of ice is actually very rare in the North Pole. If you find this kind of ice when launching, not to mention a waste of time, it is very likely to drive directly into the encirclement of others.
In 2015, the Seawolf class nuclear submarine "Connecticut" was firmly stuck in the ice during icebreaking training. caused it to be completely frozen into an ice sculpture. And this time, the three Russian submarines simultaneously pierced through the ice layer with a thickness of 1.5 meters.It shows that it has been able to carry out a nuclear counterattack at any point in the Arctic Ocean. It can be seen that the Russians have done a great job in breaking the ice.
On the other hand, the Russian submarine not only pried open the super thick ice layer, but also broke the ice very fast. is particularly important for its secondary nuclear strike capability. Because the current earth is above sea level, there are almost no blind spots for detection. If it is in a state of war, the United States will face the Arctic Ocean with its radar fully open. And this also determines that once the Russian submarine emerges on the surface of the sea, it will be discovered, and the submarine’s life will only be left for a few minutes.
Therefore, the faster breaks the ice, the more time is left for the submarine to launch a nuclear bomb. Judging from the speed of this Russian military exercise, it took about 4 minutes from the beginning of the icebreaking to the launch of all the nuclear bombs carried by . This speed not only allows them to complete a saturated nuclear strike, but even escape. time. No wonder the United States stunned like a punch in an instant after learning the news.
In addition to breaking the ice, the Russian navy's exercise was also very meaningful in arranging three submarines to float at the same time within a range of less than 300 meters. We need to know that the electromagnetic waves used by radar and various communication equipment are ineffective in the water, so submarines cannot communicate with each other. They must be dispatched and commanded by the longwave radio station on land.
In this exercise, the three Russian submarines are more than 170 meters long.Big guy 15 meters wide. And such three big guys not only break the ice at the same time, the distance between each pair is less than 100 meters when the ice breaks, will collide with each other and be buried on the seabed if there is a slight mistake. It is not an exaggeration to say that such collaborative scheduling capabilities are completely terrifying.
The three Russian submarines in this exercise can carry 16 intercontinental nuclear missiles with a range of about 10,000 kilometers. At the same time, 10 nuclear warheads can be mounted on these missiles. In other words, Russia can launch 480 nuclear warheads with only one attack. Even if American cities are far away, 480 is enough to destroy them several times.
At the same time, because the missile launched from the Arctic Ocean is very close to the United States, these nuclear warheads can reach any city in the United States within 15 minutes. According to current US technology, it is impossible to stop nuclear bombings that are denser than rain. At the same time, these missiles that came to the United States have only flown half of their maximum range, so they can rely on surplus fuel to make complex maneuvering changes. By then, the United States may be unable to face one. Intercept the dilemma.
So, the Russian military exercise is undoubtedly sending a signal to the world, that is: Even if the United States completely knocks Russia down, they can rely on the remaining three nuclear submarines. Let the United States be buried.
From this point of view, although my country’s Rocket Army has also built many nuclear counterattacks known as the "Great Underground Wall",But after all, it is above the ground, so there is always the risk of being detected. Therefore, , while satisfying the capability of nuclear saturation strikes, my country should also work hard on the ability of strategic nuclear submarines to carry out second nuclear strikes.
At the same time, we also believe that 's 096 submarine in our country and the julang 3 missile will be put into service, and our ability to have a nuclear counterattack will be improved. Of course, our country has almost the highest level of secrecy of strategic nuclear submarines, so it is hard to say whether our country has a capability similar to Russia. .
