Boring things: how the West reacted to the emergence of three Russian nuclear submarines in the Arctic

March 29 2021 13

During maritime exercises in the Arctic for the first time in history of the Russian fleet, three submarines, breaking through the ice, surfaced at a distance of several meters from each other. However, many readers of the British newspaper Daily Mail were skeptical about what happened.

This week, Moscow conducted military maneuvers near Alexandra Land, an island belonging to the Franz Josef Land archipelago and territorially included in the Primorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region. Three Russian nuclear-powered missile carriers came to the surface of the ocean from under the ice, as Vladimir Putin was informed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Naval Forces Nikolai Evmenov.

According to the President of the Russian Federation, the exercises were unprecedented in their kind, and the Russian army once again proved the power and strength of weapons in such harsh natural conditions.

Here is how readers of the British edition reacted to the Arctic maneuvers of the Russian Navy:

Surely even before the surfacing of submarines, bottles of vodka appeared on the surface

- Bambambam ironically.

Boring things! As usual, Moscow only rattling its weapons

- considers Truthfulli painfull.

Russia still possesses a large number of nuclear warheads. If Moscow allies with Beijing, Pyongyang and Tehran, the world will be in big trouble.

Chris an the mum warns.

Any show of strength only shows weakness. The US has never had to resort to such stupid propaganda tricks.

- such an opinion is expressed by svengill12.

This is nothing more than propaganda. Meanwhile, the hypersonic missiles of the United States in Europe are only a five-minute flight from Moscow

- “consoles” other Ade users, fantasizes about some kind of missiles on the European continent.

Putin is absolutely not afraid of Biden, just as he was not afraid and did not respect Obama. He is confident that there will be no retaliatory steps from the United States

havanaJoe is sure.

Russia wants to show in this way that the entire Arctic is part of it - they already have Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and everything else they can get their hands on ... The West is powerless and weak, and it can be used to your advantage

- "reveals" the "plans of the Kremlin" a certain Fatoldgit.

Are they trying to intimidate polar bears, walruses and seals? Who shows strength by going to one of the most remote places on Earth? There are also many nuclear submarines in America, and they are scattered all over the world.

dube is skeptical.

  Neighing, guys want?
  About five years ago I fly in the afternoon with one nose in the Bitsevsky Forest Park (retired, I have the opportunity). I’m sitting, changing my acc, a family is walking with a boy of about 10 years old. He is interested, asks clumsily, I understand that he is French-speaking, I answer / explain in French. Papa's eyes are square, mama - yes, he's from the KGB!
  And run with a stomp!!!

I agree, without a gay parade on an ice floe, nothing at all ..

Any ascent in the ice is a crash test of the boat. And they do it as rarely as possible, and all the same, the subsequent repair is guaranteed ... So it was before. It remains so now. Especially just three. And the advantages of "simultaneous ascent" are not obvious.

Perhaps there were some goals for such an operation (for example, to compare different navigation systems or something else ... I have no idea what ... But you never know what could be the goal). In the meantime, it is not exactly clear what, why and why, it is frivolous to make a diagnosis. And it's pointless. But it's impossible to scare someone with this. Well, they surfaced. MAYOM!!! And what? We calmed down and dispersed on the sofas.

  In order for 3 boats to surface at the same time and in one place, they at least need to constantly coordinate their actions - so as not to collide. Or do you think that they looked at each other through the windows? Submarines, and even under the ice, are a rather inconspicuous object! And in order to coordinate their maneuvers, they needed to have several components at once: communication, orientation and the ability to detect each other in the difficult conditions of the Arctic ice. And yes, it’s nothing complicated, it’s like sitting on three chairs standing side by side in the middle of a huge hall, three volunteers who entered it at different times, from different doors, in darkness and silence! Really time to spit!
  
  We calmed down and dispersed on the sofas.
  
  Apparently your outlook on this couch of yours is strong and limited.

    Who said it's easy? Who said "just spit"? Or is self-satisfaction the basis of your existence? He himself came up with for another - he "answered". To a non-existent statement.
    Did you surface nearby? Masterly. This is good. So what's not to love about my couch, which isn't surprised by this bubbling up?
    Here at the World Championships at once 3 (!!!) OUR skaters win the ENTIRE pedestal !!! Amazing! Well done.
    And here I do not understand why? Only deckhouses surfaced, the decks, with hatches into the missile silos, remained under the ice. Simultaneous ascent is not a practice in combat mode. In this case, the risk of falling under one common blow from the enemy will be much higher. So no one will "fight" !!!
    How to teach me how to live, "Ukrainian" with a broad outlook, tell me better, what do you think, what did you want to achieve? Show Kuzkin's mother? Just don't engage in demagoguery here. Because it’s not seeds and it’s not even corn anymore, it’s some kind of noodles on the ears

      Did you raise the Russian flag? Did the anthem sound? Are they definitely ours or is that what they tell you about it?
      
      And here I do not understand why? Only deckhouses surfaced, the decks, with hatches into the missile silos, remained under the ice.
      
      Were you told about rocket launches during the ascent? Or is this yours:
      
      He himself came up with for another - he "answered". To a non-existent statement.
      
      The possibilities that I mentioned above were demonstrated here, but your sofa cannot understand this. To launch missiles, they use a different sequence of actions before surfacing, now there was no such task, so the missile silos remained under the ice.
      
      Tell us better, what do you think, what did you want to achieve?
      
      Orientation in the difficult conditions of the Arctic ice, testing and testing systems for launching torpedoes, testing the group interaction of submarines, demonstrating the flag. Your outburst is incomprehensible:
      
      How to teach me how to live, "Ukrainian" with a broad outlook,
      
      Trolling? Too small and only caused a smile. You allowed to doubt the competence of the leadership of the fleet and tried to "teach them how to live", despite your lack of even a hint of knowledge on driving submarines in the Arctic, why not "teach" you with your highly experienced sofa?

Really difficult task to swim under the ice. I swam and represent the complexity of this event. For couch experts and American "smart" people, this is boring stuff, what else when you don't understand anything. And to surface within a nickel radius of 300 meters is just great! Honor and praise to our submariners! I don't think GLONASS works well under the ice. This is the real coherence of the crews. Well, the fact that only the felling surfaced, so the task was not set to shoot missiles. If there was such a task, they would surface with the whole body. There are many ways to do this. Purge all CGBs, not just one group, as shown. Eventually get out and saws and cut the ice. All this would be done. You can also crush ice with a torpedo. You shoot at a predetermined point for a couple of cables, and then you emerge at the place where the torpedo was detonated. There will be crumbs. For the military, these are trifles, and therefore they were limited only to the ascent of cuttings. No repairs are then required. Someone from experts wrote about it. Now, a little humor too. It's true, I'm not imagining anything.
Two boats moved from the North to Kamchatka under the ice of the Northern Ocean. Mutual maneuvering was carried out with the help of ZPS (who does not know - sound-underwater communication). And this connection is broken. With difficulty they found a hole and surfaced. We agreed on the radio to maneuver under the ice with the help of blows to the hull with a sledgehammer. Acoustics listen and report. In particular, the turns were discussed as follows: one hit - a turn to the left, two hits - a turn to the right. There were other blows, of course. And they knocked in the torpedo compartment. It is convenient there, the interior decoration and cable routes do not interfere. And now the command is given two strikes, turn to the right. Well, they hear: Bang, bang and then another bang! Why are they yelling at the CPU for three hits? What a disgrace! And the midshipman reports from the first compartment. Yes, there were two hits, and the third ... it was I who fell from the torpedo.

Of course, the ascent is most likely a kind of publicity stunt. But the fact that one of the boats tested a new torpedo is gut! The torpedo, whose design is already 40 years old, has waited for a replacement. Fortunately, under the ice, there is simply nothing to fight besides them. And the new one - "Physicist", has reduced the backlog in armaments from the "penguins". The case is small - to dispossess Sechin and Rottenberg and re-equip the entire northern fleet with Physicists

Ballistic missile launches are recorded and tracked. It starts alone - with a high degree of probability it will be intercepted, despite the setting of false targets, the missile defense operators will tense up and make it alone along with the decoys. If there is a salvo from one submarine, up to a dozen ICBMs will start almost simultaneously (it doesn’t matter that a couple got stuck, a couple plopped down next to scare polar bears, it doesn’t matter, because if it came to this, and so everyone hits left and right, everything that moves and launches everything that can fart) - for tracking satellites it’s already strained, some kind of launch may miss, which means one or more ICBMs will pass the acceleration trajectory untracked - goodbye America oh, of course it won’t happen, but priority targets from the first three dozen are guaranteed will be amazed.
And now the question, sofa connoisseurs - the same thing from three submarines, standing almost back to back with their sides? Satellites fix it as one big launch, computers fail, operators change diapers, but almost EVERYTHING arrives! It is clear that we are all already in paradise, but as our supreme leader promised, you will simply die ...
