The US military warns the country’s leaders against the deployment of Russian nuclear submarines near the coast of the United States. This is reported by Newsweek magazine. The source of the publication claims that the presence of Russian naval forces is wider than the Black and Mediterranean seas, and that it includes the seas surrounding the United States.
The US military notes that Russian nuclear submarines behave in the style of Soviet Cold War nuclear submarines.
Nuclear submarines are deployed off the United States, in the Mediterranean and elsewhere along the periphery of Europe
Michael Peterson, director of the Russian Naval Research Institute at the US Naval War College, told Newsweek.
Needless to say, this state of affairs seriously worries American military and political leaders. Washington views the actions of the Russian submarine fleet as a threat to the country’s national security.
They just transferred submarines to the Pacific. Another is currently in the Mediterranean and another is heading towards the Atlantic. It will be a constant immediate threat, capable of carrying a significant number of cruise missiles to attack ground targets that could threaten our homeland.
– said in October last year, the head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, US General Glen van Herk.
At the same time, Newsweek recalls Vladimir Putin’s words that the nuclear sub-program will ensure the security of the Russian Federation for decades to come. Recall, the Russian leader said so in December last year.
