Russian nuclear submarines have a serious flaw - their survivability is calculated in just minutes.

In the event of war, Russian nuclear submarines will only last a few minutes.

The commander of a Russian nuclear-powered submarine issued a surprise statement criticizing the capabilities of any submarine in service with the Russian Navy. As it turned out, despite the ability to deliver nuclear strikes against an enemy thousands of kilometers away, the real survivability of a Russian nuclear submarine is calculated in just a few minutes - the crew of any Russian submarine is doomed.

In an interview with RIA Novosti, the commander of the nuclear submarine, Captain I Rank Igor Kurdin said that the survivability of Russian submarines, even the most advanced ones, is calculated in a few minutes after the first salvo, and if the crew of the nuclear submarine cannot fully complete the task, then the submarine will be destroyed by the enemy's return fire - it is impossible to avoid such a fate.

“After the salvo, only the torpedo weapon remains at the disposal of the crew, and the submarine is re-targeted at warships, a naval convoy or an aircraft carrier strike group. However, according to Kurdin, if the cruiser manages to fire all the missiles, the enemy's missile defense systems will immediately determine its location and it will most likely be destroyed. ", - about it сообщает Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

In fact, in the event of full-scale hostilities, it will be necessary to work out striking the enemy as quickly as possible, since today Russian nuclear submarines are among the carriers of nuclear weapons.

Speaking of survivability: the author is apparently not very familiar with the terminology of the morflot. The survivability in the submarine fleet is understood as the ability of the ship and the crew to remain in a state of autonomous functioning after an emergency.

If a Shkval torpedo hits a state-owned Virginia, like our Kursk, its survivability will be similar.

Let's not be stupid and listen to retired majors from past wars. The presence of the Prometheus missile defense submarine on board the surfaced submarine will not only solve the problem of protection at a distance of 500 km in the area, but also knock down all NATO satellites flying by.

Therefore, the first strike should be made by drones, such as Poseidon, located near US bases (or within the US in rivers and lakes) and England, fleets and pursuing US submarines and medium-range missiles underwater launch Skif.

There is no weapon that can destroy a submarine a few minutes after its salvo, if it is in the ocean far from the units and formations of the enemy fleet. It will take more than one hour to simply deliver weapons to the area where the boat was located. During this time, the boat will leave, and you will have to look for it on an area of thousands of square kilometers.

It is not entirely clear why the media pulled the captain's words out of context and are now procrastinating ?!
After striking a blow, not only "cans" but also any strategist will undergo a guaranteed retaliatory strike and be destroyed. This is the essence of strategists, the military are well aware of this and are equally ready to fulfill their military duty. What to procrastinate ?!
This has been the situation for over fifty years. It's not for you to bomb Hiroshima, now everything is different.
