Russia To Launch Khabarosvsk Submarine Armed With Poseidon Underwater Drones In April-May

Support SouthFront

The Russian Navy will launch special purpose nuclear submarine Khabarovsk (Project 09851) at the Sevmash shipyard in northern Russia in April-May, a Russian defense industry source told RIA Novosti.

“[Submarine] Khabarovsk is planned to be launched in the spring, in April-May. Trials will last at least two years,” the source said.

The submarine will become a designated carrier of the Poseidon nuclear-capable underwater drones.

In April 2019, Russia launched Belgorod nuclear-powered research submarine (Project 09852). It became the first experimental submarine to carry Poseidon underwater drones.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the fact of development of Poseidon nuclear-powered underwater drones during the address to the Federal Assembly in 2018.

According to the Russian president, the drones can “move at great depths … intercontinentally, at a speed multiple times higher than the speed of submarines, cutting-edge torpedoes and all kinds of surface vessels.”

This will be a useful weapon to have in the Russian defence arsenal.

It is important that the crazies in the US realise that WW3 will impact the US mainland AND the hideaways of the Zio-Elite in places such as New Zealand.

The many heads of the Zio snake also have to realise that they will be targeted if they start WW3.

Lilit

There’s no WW3

FlorianGeyer

There will be one day. The US empire is imploding and blaming everyone else as spoilt children do. Spoilt US kids have nuclear weapons.

Lilit

It’ll be ok

FlorianGeyer

The leadership of the US, political and commercial is largely senile, demented,immoral and venal.

Such a rag tag cabal of scum has always been in control during the fall of an empire and few empires have collapsed without a failed war.

Lilit

What’s your country?

FlorianGeyer

UK, what is yours?

Lilit

USA

occupybacon

This low life Ruskyes are waiting WW3 like Baptists are waiting for the rapture

eltahar

Well it is because low life Americans are doing everything possible to reach that scenario.

occupybacon

Like what, striking the Russian roads and bridges with nukes? Cause that’s how they look, just google ‘Siberia bridge’ images

ruca

Google poverty and homelessness in the US

occupybacon

I didn’t say google google bad roads, I said just roads.. But roads in Russia is equal to poverty and homelessness in USA. I couldn’t say it better. Thank you.

Dick Von Dast'Ard

I bet you just love your politicians. generals and foreign policy wonks at this point of time. An asylum worth of skitzo.

Lilit

Not really

Dick Von Dast'Ard

So where do you see your presidential race going… Civil war or global war?

Lilit

As long as it’s Trump in office in good

Dick Von Dast'Ard

What happens though if the bad generals remove him… Will the America First populists go quietly into the night?

Lilit

They will not go quietly

Dick Von Dast'Ard

I think you are right… Do you think Biden will be capable of debating with Trump, or will he require a wire and prompter? Do you think Biden will actually be in the race?

Lilit

He will require someone to remind him where he is

Dick Von Dast'Ard

Yeah you are probably right… If not Trump or Biden, who would you like to be leading a troubled America?

Lilit

Yes very moist

Peter Moy

Concerning the diabolical, dastardly, evil Einsteins that implement US foreign policy, you can also describe them as mentally degenerate, despicable, brain-damaged, provocative, murderous cowards who would urinate and defecate in their adult diapers if they were anywhere near a combat zone. Unfortunately most Americans are too concerned about their own well-being than to worry about the death, destruction, misery and terror that the US has caused in many countries since the end of World War II. That’s why nothing will change year after year. Tragische aber wahr.

Vitex

They think that lead poisoning got to the Romans. I wonder what will do the Americans in?

FlorianGeyer

Junk food and painkillers I suspect.

Vitex

I’ve been watching fire department response videos from the US. Seems the suburbs are populated by astonishing numbers of knuckle-dragging zombies – overweight, mouth-breathing idiots and idiotesses. It’s like collective suicide. I know this isn’t everyone in the US – seems the further from the cities the saner people are (and the more guns they have!)

FlorianGeyer

If hyper inflation results in the US,the few sane US gun owners will be needed to defend their localities.

The movie ‘Mad Max’ could easily portend the future..

Vitex

That has crossed my mind before

Ryan from Toronto

I agree with you, God will destroy the wicked (they have committed genocide against the indigenous people of the the America and used nuclear weapons against civilians in Japan and enslaved africans – great crimes that require great punishment) and I do believe it will nuclear weapons.

Vitex

I think that knowledge has driven most Russian military developments since WW2

occupybacon

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, the Americans: “ohh that’s taxpayer’s money! “

And by parallel universe I mean where Russians are rich and Americans the poor.

RedBaron9495

Real world……has 22 million Americans are now unemployed in the last month……along with the millions of long-term unemployed which are never included in their unemployment statistics.

occupybacon

In all economic chrisis USA gets hit first but recovers first, just wait and see.

They had the lowest unemployment rate since WW2, before the corona, it was around 3.7%

Trap Is Not Gay

Mother Russia is the only hope
