[Regnum] Russian submarines, including diesel-electric submarines, pose a threat to the West, the American magazine National Interest wrote in an article on July 16. "Russian attack submarines, including the Kilo class, recently conducted missions in the Irish Sea despite legal and navigational challenges. The actions followed exercises in the Baltic Sea that demonstrated the submarines' torpedo attacks and combat maneuvers," the publication's columnist Maya Carlin noted. The journalist emphasized that modernized Russian submarines pose a serious danger. Russian Kilo-class submarines (as all Varshavyanka and Paltus class submarines are called in the West) can cause damage to underwater infrastructure. Russia's underwater power cannot be underestimated, the author concluded. As reported by Regnum News Agency, the Russian multipurpose nuclear submarine Arkhangelsk poses a major threat to NATO, journalists from the British newspaper Express stated. The submarine, armed with hypersonic missiles, will be based 60 km from the border with Norway. The submarine is equipped with nuclear missiles flying at a speed of 6,670 miles per hour (10,700 km/h). Construction of the vessel began in 2015 at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk. In 2023, Arkhangelsk was launched. On June 11, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the submarine Kazan and the frigate Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Gorshkov had practiced using high-precision missile weapons in the Atlantic. During the military exercises, strikes were carried out at targets at a distance of more than 600 km. The following day, June 12, a detachment of Russian Navy ships arrived in Cuba as part of international cooperation. Related: Russian submarine 06/14/2024 Hunt for SSGN Kazan.
