Why "Poseidon" is threatening the very survival of the United States

Why «Poseidon» threatens the very survival of the United States

Let's be frank: Russia is weaker than America. Let's not even take the economy, where is the difference, Alas, factor of. Let's take purely military aspects. Eliminating, for the sake of clarity, the "great equalizer" - nuclear weapons.

The military and combat potential of the parties to the conflict is calculated, generally, quickly and easily. This is the ABC.

Mobilization capacity is based on population size. On it, the US 300 million bypasses us twice, and together with Europe as a NATO ally and Japan-Korea-Australia as allies in life - in nine to ten: on their side somewhere around 1 billion 250 million people.

The advantage in conventional armed forces and weapons is also significant. Not overwhelming, but three times. By the fleet - and by the order.

infrastructure. Our army is generally closed within national borders.. They have - deployed across the planetary network of military bases, besides, close to our borders. Just one illustration: our strategic Tu-95 (60 units) and Tu-160 (16 units) not even one for each 10 US and Allied airfields, if you put them a standard, generally, the task of bombing enemy bases.

This gives rise to an advantage in access to enemy territory.. If, again, look at the Hamburg score, it must be recognized immediately: our fleets will not leave the adjacent waters. The Northern Fleet will be destroyed even abeam Jan Mayen Island - and it certainly won't pass all these Danish Straits and Faroe Islands. Pacific Ocean will not come out of the Sea of ​​Japan, and if what (the only one) submarine and infiltrate from Avacha Bay in Kamchatka, then again - without nuclear missiles on board, she will not make the weather.

In this sense, American capabilities exceed ours not several times and not orders of magnitude., a - infinitely. Murmansk a stone's throw from NATO member Norway, Petersburg - from NATO member Estonia, The Far East is quite naturally blocked by the 7th fleet and reset to zero from the territories of Korea, Japan (whatever Tokyo grunts about its neutral status) and a little - from Guam. Tomahawk cruise missiles to reach Moscow from Romania.

in short, so as not to build further a spherical horse in the vacuum of a nuclear-free world, Let's just finish this dull review with a toast in honor of Russian nuclear weapons.

First and last strike problem

Thanks to nuclear weapons, we can sleep soundly. The principle of the Russian defense doctrine applies: if things, even in conflict with conventional weapons, begin to turn into real threats to the existence, Russia will use nuclear weapons. And they are there, adversaries that is, just die, as our president said.

However, there is a problem. The adversaries want to live by some misunderstanding. Therefore, they turn their evil intentions primarily on nuclear weapons.. And even developed a whole concept of instant global non-nuclear strike, which would disable a significant part of Russian missile launchers, missile bases in general, as well as control points, bunkers, warehouses - in general, Total, what should be, to exclude a retaliatory nuclear strike. And for the destruction of the unfinished one, the ABM funds will be needed.. For what strategic idea did the United States leave the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty?.

And now they are resolutely and impudently tearing up the treaty on medium-range missiles. (DRSMD). Does anyone have illusions, for what and for whom is it done? Yes, for China. But China is not existential for the United States., civilizational threat. And Russia - this very threat is. In all its splendor and grandeur.

This is how it is understood in the USA.

Hence, Russia - again from a purely military point of view - has two basic problems. If, understandably, it came down to or is at least approaching a real hot war. first: avoid causing substantial harm in the American first strike. second: rule out US survival after first strike.

No, no atrocities and even revenge. Naked pragmatics: strangle the beast in his kubla so, so that he cannot deliver a second blow. It's even in the best interest of humanity: you need to leave enough people on the planet, so they can continue civilization.

That was all one long introduction for one short phrase.: for this we need underwater automatic complexes "Poseidon".

To save civilization, Yes.

What Poseidon Can Do?

We have already written about the first guarantee of human survival.: ballistic missile system "Sarmat" humanely reduces the industrialized part of the United States, after which the surviving part of the US population immerses the embodiment of Hollywood "post-apocalyptic" in the national economic practice. And thus it ceases to be a document for humanity, imposing "democratic values" on him with a ranger's boot on his throat.

However, the well-known military expert Alexei Leonkov, who reminded about this man-saving resource, simultaneously remembered an extremely inhumane weapon at first glance - Russian underwater drones "Poseidon". According to a specialist, 80 percent of the US population lives primarily on the west and east coasts, it is here that the most densely populated areas in the country.

If in the ocean near these shores to detonate for some reason "two hundred megaton" nuclear charges, then the consequences of the blow will become simply disastrous.

Well, 200 megatons - a catastrophe, even if they are blown up in Antarctica. At one time in the Soviet Union, a bomb was tested in 50 megatons. Her "sister" in the form of a model is still kept in the museum of the city of Sarov, where "Tsar Bomba" was created in 1961 year.

So - only the fireball from its explosion reached a diameter of almost 10 km. The nuclear mushroom has grown to 67 kilometers, and the shock wave circled the globe three times. And for the presence of scientific atheism in the ideological doctrine of the then state, even the authors of the AN602 product praised the Communist Party and personally its leader Nikita Sergeevich. For that, that the state leadership did not dare to give them the go-ahead for the explosion of the originally planned 101,5 megatons ...

No, understandably: roots of thought about 200 MT's rise from leaks about, that "Poseidons" will easily be loaded with a charge into 100 MT and cheerfully take him to the shores of the continent, which three quarters of humanity want to close again.

They will be able to give a lift: underwater vehicle, sinking on 1000 meters and moving under water at a speed 56 knots, the means available to the enemy are not intercepted in principle. And the range of 10 thousand. kilometers allows Russian sailors to destroy a US naval base somewhere in San Diego, without taking your eyes off the haze over Avachinskaya hill and without looking up from a cup of coffee.

But then commentators for the most part tend to depict that, what will the tsunami that rose as a result of such an explosion do to America?.

can understand: people are fascinated by the information on the purpose of the "Status-6" product from the presentation picture, which, as if by chance, a television camera peeped over the general's shoulder during a meeting on defense issues with the president. Everyone understands, that even the very assumption of such an accident at such an event is ridiculous, and therefore the authors of the comments trembled with words: “The defeat of important objects of the enemy's economy in the coastal area and the infliction of guaranteed unacceptable damage to the country's territory by creating zones of extensive radioactive contamination, unsuitable for implementation in these zones of military, economic, economic and other activities for a long time. "

no doubt: the vast majority of the inhabitants of planet Earth will look at such a sight with such results bewitched, refraining from applause just to, so as not to lose the details of the spectacle - absorption by the wave of the White House or another avenue of New York. But still we must honestly admit: it will not be humane and selective. This will be exactly the final solution to the American question in the spirit of "and they all die". In other words, this is the last weapon of the last hour of Judgment Day. When everything is already lost and only the last joy of the Russian soul remains: by your very death, send more enemies to the next world.

No, just a last resort

But were these romantic considerations guided by those, who created, and most importantly, he made a very expensive decision to create such a weapon? doubtfully.

Why then was it created? And this by itself goes out of the qualities and properties of "Poseidon".

What we see in this device? First of all, this is his destructive ability. A table, two hundred or one megaton is not important. Fundamentally, that this is a carrier of a nuclear warhead. Consequently, the weapon is intended in case of a nuclear conflict. Or the transition of a conventional conflict to a nuclear one.

second: him, so to speak, Delivery properties. Poseidon delivers cargo underwater, and therefore - to the goals, naval-related. From docks to shipyards.

third: Poseidon is not subject to those threats, which missile defense represents for intercontinental ballistic missiles. He is also not affected, which is especially important in light of the conversation about the difference in military potential with our enemies, the dangers of a first disarming strike. And the modern anti-submarine defense of any enemy is not afraid of him..

From here, two main tasks for Poseidon emerge..

The first is the destruction of naval bases and naval groupings of the enemy, applying or preparing to apply that very first and destructive, even if not a nuclear strike on strategic objects of Russia. Even 100 kilotons under an aircraft carrier strike group - and she no longer shoots anywhere. And only hurries to the bottom. Moreover, for this, the underwater drone does not even need to self-destruct - who said, that he cannot carry a couple of torpedoes with special ammunition?

There are not too many targets for such a blow. According to experts - total 32 naval bases around the world, which will need to be destroyed at once immediately after the first hit on us. Funny, by the way, coincidence: depth in the underwater canyon at the main US Navy base in Norfolk - exactly 1000 meters ...

The second task is to remain in the status of an unfeasible life threat for the enemy in case he unleashes a real nuclear conflict.. Our readers remember, probably, some of our materials about the "Perimeter" system, or, in a romantic arrangement, "Dead Hand". Automatic system of nuclear bombardment of the enemy, even if he managed to critically disrupt the functions of the Russian military and state administration. That is, there will be no victory for the adversary under any circumstances.: let us go to heaven - but it just dies. Anyway.

However, it is understandable, that on land there are threats to the reliable operation of such a system. Nuclear strike is nuclear strike. You look, something won't work. And there are no such threats under water.. Go find a drone in the oceans. And if you suddenly find at the bottom near Norfolk? You will let an atomic torpedo into it? So use it for you!

And that's when it all becomes clear, we begin to understand again, that in the case of "Poseidon" humanism did not betray either its creators, nor the state leadership of Russia that authorized its creation. Indeed, in their first quality, such devices are simply an analogue of an electronic bracelet on the convict's leg.. Like, let us say, to the President of the United States the American Navy - then let him take care never to give an order to use it against Russia or its allies. Otherwise - boom and boom.

And in the second capacity, the Poseidons simply become an element of the US strategic containment system.. The final element of this containment. And if such an instrument does not hold America back, then there will be no one to be concerned about the issues of humanism ...
