Russian nuclear submarine of project 885 “Ash” and 955 “Borey” in a hypothetical conflict with the United States can not manage to leave their coastal bases being destroyed by anti-submarine forces of the enemy, writes “Military-industrial courier.”
the publication notes that the sustainability of the marine component of Russian strategic nuclear forces is threatened by the lack of developed heterogeneous ASW forces (RPLS), which could provide protection for the submarines as they emerge from the base when moving in the specified area alerting (SRDB) and SRBD.
the Situation in Russia with RPLS, which should include Avicenna and anti-submarine surface ships and multipurpose submarines, in the publication estimated as catastrophic. In particular, according to the newspaper, the country “no longer produces anti-submarine aircraft and helicopters.”
the Publication also notes that under construction in the country small ships is not enough to ensure anti-submarine warfare, which would ensure a safe exit from the Russian submarine bases.
“neglecting the issues of ASW in the future may result in the loss of viability of our strategic submarines, which in turn would jeopardize the security of the Russian Federation”, — is published.
In March, The Drive announced that the launch of cruise missiles from the submarines directly from the quay wall is another example of interesting and unique naval tactics, which the Soviet Union developed during the cold war, and Russia continues to use until now.
In February, The National Interest wrote that the majority of submarines of Navy fleet of Russia in the next ten years could disappear.
In January in the same journal drew attention to two main circumstances that indicate the extinction of the Russian submarine fleet — active output out of operation the old submarines and the lack of new issuance.
In may 2019 navy_korabel blog in LiveJournal has noticed that in Russia in six years “melted” eight nuclear submarines.
