The submarines of the Russian Navy’s Black Sea Fleet continue to hit high-value targets in Ukraine with Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles.
On May 4, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that a submarine of the Black Sea Fleet had attacked military infrastructure targets in Ukraine.
“In the process of conducting the special military operation the Russian army carried out another strike with smart cruise missiles Kalibr against Ukrainian military infrastructures. A submarine of the Black Sea Fleet launched two cruise missiles Kalibr against the designated ground targets in Ukraine,” the Defense Ministry said.
The ministry released a video showing an Improved Kilo-class diesel-electric attack submarine launching two 3M14K Kalibr land-attack cruise missiles at the targets.
The 3M14T cruise missile, which has a range of 2500 kilometers, is guided by INS [inertial navigation system] and GLONASS satellite guidance systems. The missile is also equipped with a TERCOM [terrain contour matching] system to fly at very low altitudes.
The missile, which has a terminal speed of Mach 0.8, is armed with a 450 kg HE-FRAG [high explosive fragmentation] or bunker buster warhead.
The 3M14T is the main land-attack weapon of the Improved Kilo. Submarines of this class has a displacement of 3,100 tons with full load. An improved Kilo class submarine can reach a top speed of 17 knots surfaced and 20 knots submerged. Each submarine is armed with 533 mm torpedo tubes, which are used to launch torpedoes and cruise missiles.
At least six Improved Kilo submarines are in service with the Black Sea Fleet’s 4th Independent Submarine Brigade. Combined with their high stealth, the land-attack capabilities of these submarines make them a lethal weapon. These submarines have been attacking high-value targets of Kiev forces since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
U.S. strategy within Ukraine appears to be boost Russia’s profits from oil, gas and commodities, turn the rouble into a hard currency within an expanded Rouble Economic Zone, to create a new Russian commonwealth, (Novorossiya) and simultaneously make Ukraine a training area for Russia to learn how to defeat the whole of Nato.
Vietnam was bad, Ukraine however represents the ultimate defeat of the USA overseas.
Biden/Blinken Making Russia Great Again.
Exactly. Me beginning to think the Russians are enjoying this training exercise against NATO
In a real fight NATO would disappear Russia and Putin in a week.
Keep telling yourself that.
You mean like a SAMAT making you guys in Langley radioactive dust????
I think the ruble traded at 69 to the dollar today. Before sanctions it was about 78. Hilarious.
You will believe any lie Putin tells you to believe.
The Russian economy is heading to full collapse.
Enjoy! You deserve what’s coming to you!
That s completely artificial though..
Try to buy some then! It is an iliquid and restricted market now, ruble is now under stict government control. The banks in russia will not let you buy Dollars or Euros. Same with Moscow Stock Exchange, is only a façade they are heavy restrictions to trade and sell stocks and options,. Its a Potemkin village for fools to see.
ahh just yesterday Putin had to pay the debt in Dollars to avoid default did he told you that?
Make no mistake the economy is paying the price. Like we today make fun of Germans when they tried to fight the economic and industrial might of the US and Soviet Union, history will have a hard time to explain how russians with the economy the size of Spain, and worse an extractive economy with laughable domestic industries, thought it could take on the western world.
Its incredible how vastly superior Russia’s military is with a total population of 145 million people compared to NATO, EU countries and the US, Canada and Australia combined. That’s what happens to 800 plus million people when their government promotes the globo-homo libtard agenda. 10 Chechen fighters have more testosterone than half the men in Europe lol.
Maybe if they sent in a hundred thousand Chechens. A thousand of them would only be able to conquer Poland, probably chasing them all into Germany or the Baltic Sea. lol.
hahahaaaaaaaa LMAO
I hear them Ukrainian refugees are beginning to annoy the hell out of Germans and Polish. they demand a lot. The more NATO prolongs the war, the more refugees flood western Europe. Its a win win for Russia I guess.
Poor Rusky tr@sh. Humiliated again! Boo hoo hoo!
The Ukranians have put many Chechen butchers in the dirt.
More will die soon enough.
NATO would zero out Putin and his entire military in a week.
The Ukrainians are absolutely humiliating them!
Russia is far behind USA, in intelligentsia, satellite image, cannot process all the battlefield’s info in real time so they can blown up the shit out of UKI Army, have to compare daily the satellite image and attack the changing possitions. Im seeing all the Russians failures, they have to improve a lot if they want to defend their land from USA. Russia still haves a strong punch but they are lacking in the knowledge and strategy.
I am American dude. I am also a realist. Our military is so wasteful. Russia is leaps and bounds ahead of us now. Every single AI computerized war game has Russia defeating us in a conventional war and its not even close. Not to mention Russia’s missiles and rockets are the very best. We have no hypersonic missiles. We are 10 years behind Russia in missile technology.
Yes, 10 Chechen fighters have more testosterone then half the men in Europe. Maybe two thirds. But I think that a share of the best pro-Russia European men would join the Chechen actually if they would arrive here.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
and don t even make me start with the chechens rotfl. After got their ass kicked in kiev they went to Mariupol to make tik tok videos shooting to empty buildings and shooting their weapons above their head… can this guys even fight? Did they any tactical infantry training? They seem to don t even know how to handle their weapons. If you look attentively you will see all the real combat footage in mariupol with people shooting back you only see Russian marines or the separatist army that are actually better fighters than the average russian soldier, at least from what we ve seen in this war.
They are a joke really
Lord, that’s sure some delusional brainwashing you cowardly , baby killing coward.
Those Kilos and its missiles are the terror of terrorist supporters. I remember during the height of the “Syrian civil war” lots of very expensive ISIS-Qaeda-FSA terrorist guided-weapon caches were blown to bits by Kalibr missile attacks on underground bunkers. If a banana country dictator like Assad defeated NATO and the West then it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think Putin and his thousands of nuclear weapons will eventually win in Ukraine even if it takes years.
Oh my, you nuts really are told some incredibly dumb lies.
NATO vs Syria?
Never happened, trash person.
NATO would end Putin and absdestroy the entire Russian military in a week.
Wet dreams coward!
Submarines are invaluable as they can go anywhere at anytime and if required sit in the English channel or the Gibraltar straight
Until a drone detects it
Russia is a third world shithole.
No McDonalds or KFC for you peasants!
Trying so hard to piss off Russians??? Lol… childish!
How many innocent Ukranian children did you murder today, you brainwashed, heartless monsters.
You stipulate you hate “Russian” Pedos, which implies you are fine with all other types.
Checks out.
Zero, it’s the Orcrainians doing that.
They are all being killed by the US war machine together with their bought and bribed. The Russians, along with brain-washed ukes are the victims.
looks like russia is baiting us/nato to get outright involved in the war and so russia can destroy us/nato for good and end the war in washington dc just like world war 2 ended in berlin. hope us/nato to send troops to ukraine to start world war 3.
Well they succeeded in firing a missile, that maybe a miracle in itself. Alas the video doesn’t show if any high value military target was hit. You can’t win a war with random destruction.
Tom the Troll has forgotten that US was using Russian rockets. How about the F35 or should we go further?
It’s the only thing the Putin cockroaches can do during the special moronic operation. Murder people from far away with artillery like cowardly terrorist cockroaches. Because when it comes to the rest the Putin cockroaches are literally turned to ashes. There are no bodies left to recover.
Are you referencing Afghanistan where the NATO force had to cowardly leave like roaches??? Or are you overcompensating for your cowardly behavior???
This war will show Russia its weakness, so Russia can fix its weakness. Chain of command. Equipment. ETC.
Russia is fixing the process, getting NATO weapons to test and figure out how to overcome NLAWS etc.
This is also training Russian soldiers. Giving them real battle experience right next door. These soldiers will go back to Russia and train the next generation of Spetsnaz.
Battle hardened Russian Army….. The USA should be very afraid of its future!
No, I’m refering to the terrorist Putin cockroaches in Ukraine.
The Uke nazis started it eight years ago by bombing and shelling the ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. Those Uke cockroaches murdered about 14,000 innocents. Now, they are being held accountable by the Russian military.
Desperation. Terrorists putin trying everything but still no result..🥱
I gotta say …… I LOVE THE SMELL OF BURNT UKRAINIAN IN THE MORNING ! ! !
That’s not a submarine. It’s Moskva cruiser.
hahahahaha good one :)
Es erweckt den Eindruck, dass sich Oberflächenschiffe nicht mehr rantrauen.?… Nur getauchte U Boote .
China to liberate Taiwan and Russia to liberate Ukraine from Nazis. Taiwan should not give the TSMC blueprint to NATO states.
The Chinese and Russian friendship is stronger than diamond and sweeter than the expectation of the NATO member states because a friend in need is a friend indeed. Of course, China will supply all necessary military hardware to Russia.
China and Russia should work together because union is strength. China and Russia together have the upper hand on the whole world.
NATO is scared of the unity of Russia and China.
Russia respects and help peaceful Ukrainian civilians but cannot bear NAZI and Zionist terrorists in the region.
Leave your families your homes your jobs, come follow me Jesus said and fish for the souls of men.
It is good the Russians have the perfect opportunity to test their modern weaponry on the newly acquired US territory of Ukraine, so when the real war breaks out with NATO, Russia would have ironed out and improved their systems for the maximum effect. I would say to Poland or Blackhorse Romania, if you’re thinking about it, DON’T.
