Russia reveals the "largest submarine" after the "Satan" missile and the "Resurrection" plane

After the intense propaganda of the "doomsday" missile, Russia announced, last week, the operation of what was said to be the "largest submarine", while the battles in Ukraine continue without resolution, about five months after the invasion.

Russia has long revealed "indomitable" or "hyperacoustic" weapons that have unlimited range or cannot be detected by radar, and threatened to use nuclear weapons, as part of its "policy of intimidation" since the start of the battles last February.

The announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin, on February 27, that his country's nuclear capabilities were put on high alert, about three days after the start of the invasion, raised the world's concern.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stressed that the risk of nuclear conflict should not be underestimated and that the essence of any agreement to end the conflict in Ukraine would largely depend on the military situation on the ground, and "this is our main position on which we build everything, and the risks are now great." ".

Putin issued a warning to Western countries about the repercussions of their intervention in the war, referring to the new Russian intercontinental ballistic missile, nicknamed "Satan".

"We have all the necessary tools for this, which we do not brag about, but we will use them if necessary ... I want everyone to know this, we have already made all the decisions on this matter," Putin said.

Moscow has threatened that it will deploy Satan II, also known as RS-28 Sarmat, and "Doomsday" missiles by the fall.

This missile is capable, according to military experts, of targeting the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, and it can carry more than one nuclear warhead.

Putin unveiled the missile in a speech in 2018, showing an animation of it crossing continents, and said it was "invincible" by missile defense systems.

In the wake of the recent nuclear threats, Russian state television editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said that Putin might prefer an all-out nuclear war, rather than conceding his defeat in Ukraine.

The Washington Times considered that the threats "come within the framework of a new military doctrine called "escalation to de-escalate."

US officials have expressed concern that the doctrine opens a way for "low-power" nuclear strikes to be used in conflicts when a country's conventional forces are at a disadvantage, as was the case with Russia just one week after its military operation in Ukraine.

Foreign Affairs said that Putin, "who bombed Grozny to rubble in order to 'liberate' it, and who joined Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in the demolition of Aleppo, certainly has no moral reservations about the mass destruction. The war in Ukraine is now Putin's war. He knows he can't lose without risking his system, and even his life."

With the Kremlin failing to achieve a quick victory in Ukraine, the Russian economy under severe pressure under sanctions, and facing the worst downturn since the years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, talk continued about the enormous potential of Russia's nuclear power.

Before the "victory" speech in May, the Kremlin announced that the L-80 "Doomsday" command plane would take part in the parade dedicated to the celebration.

This plane is supposed to carry senior officers in the event of a nuclear war, it was designed to become the flying command center for the Russian president in the event of such a scenario.

It is equipped with the latest technology, but the details of this are a Russian state secret.

And Moscow announced that it is using, in its attack against Ukraine, part of its new generation of missiles, which it considers “indomitable” or “hypersonic”, such as “Avangard”, which is hypersonic capable of changing its course and height unexpectedly, and the Kingal “dagger”, which is a hypersonic ballistic The Russian military used it for the first time by destroying an underground weapons depot in western Ukraine.

And after it was talked about the Ukrainian naval forces besieging Russian forces, in the past few weeks, after withdrawing from the strategic “Snake Island”, Moscow announced, last week, that it had entered into service the “Belgorod” nuclear submarine, which the Eurasian Times website said is “the largest submarine.” Russia in the last 40 years.

In an official statement, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Nikolai Evminov, said: “Today is an important day for us: the signing of the certificate of acceptance of the Belgorod research submarine and its transfer to the fleet... The submarine will give Russia a new opportunity to conduct research and allow it to carry out a variety of scientific missions and rescue operations.

According to the maritime executive, the submarine is 600 feet long and 24,000 tons and is intended for undersea research using six Poseidon-class nuclear torpedoes, making it the most heavily armed research vessel in the world.
