MOSCOW, (Reuters) -Russia's rocket forces loaded an intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with the nuclear-capable "Avangard" hypersonic glide vehicle into a launch silo in southern Russia, according to a defence ministry TV channel broadcast on Thursday. 

President Vladimir Putin announced the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle in 2018, saying it was a response to U.S. development of a new generation of weapons and a U.S. missile defence system that it could penetrate.

Russia needs a new missiles because its sub fleet is junk. Production delays and cost overruns. The Russian sub fleet has a Canadian-ish feel to it.

There will be a nuclear war. Why? Because Russians are stupid, that is why.

Russia controls the village of Enerhodar. Russia shells the village of Enerhodar. Only orcs could consistently be so stupid.

Question

When Unit #6, the only unit left working, goes down permanently, how will Russian officers read their maps, so they can send their lessers on another meat assault.

I wonder what sound you hear when a hypersonic glide-body passes overhead

The first three posts are idiotic from a jerk who knows nothing.

The US navy has a deep respect for Russian submarines. They are quiet and deadly.

As of early 2021 Russia had four Borei SSBNs in service. Four more were then under construction and two more on order for delivery by the end of the 2020s. The Boreis were the first post-Cold War Russian SSBN and the first one began construction in 1996, but took 17 years to complete. The problem was that the capabilities of Russian shipyards had declined during the 1990s

Delays getting the new Borei SSBNs into service were made worse because problems with their new SLBMs continued after the first Borei was ready for service. There were so many missile delays that the older Delta class SSBNs had to stay in service longer than they were designed for

I have respect for Russian subs. It is why I want to see the other 4 subs in the Black Sea hit in port.

Quiet? Quieter than before.
