Information from theintelligence NATO points the finger at the submarine K-329 Belgorod. Indicated as a possible protagonist of the sabotage of north currentwas put into operation at July. With the task of testing the torpedo Poseidon. This means a nuclear warhead who can travel tens of thousands of kilometers. And it explodes near the shore and causes a radioactive tsunami. The same effect as the ICBMs already deployed in Russian exercises. And while Chechen leader Kadyrov is urging it Kremlin use nuclear tactics in Ukrainethe prospect of a Russian nuclear attack is becoming ever more concrete. As well as the possible answers from the West: “The atomic bomb is the last act for Vladimir Putin. He risks a coup,” says his former ghostwriter Abbas Galliamov. While Vlad Mykhnenkoprofessor and Oxford and expert on Russiasays that at that point the US could take over the field.
The K-329 and the IC torpedoes
Speaking of the submarine K-329 Belgorod and the intelligence provided by Atlantic Alliance intelligence is now a republic. The submarine has returned to dive in the arctic seas. And it is feared that its mission is to test the torpedoes Poseidon. That United States have activated a satellite network to warn of the departure of torpedoes. Which, when the engines are turned on, register a very intense heat. But the satellites don’t see what’s happening at sea. And the super torpedo may have been designed precisely to emit heat and move silently before reaching its target. The submarine K-329 Belgorod started the finishing process in 2019. Long 184 meters and 15 wide, it can navigate underwater at about sixty kilometers per hour Autonomy without limits. It is estimated that it can stay 120 Days without returning to the surface.
In the last few days it has been mentioned in the analyzes on the possible sabotage by NordStream. But there is no evidence that it moved away from the White Sea. It would have been reported at the gates of theArctic. In a series of secret tests. The newspaper adds that the suspicion of Bornsent to Allied commands says the U-boat is about to experiment in the Kara Sea region only the Poseidon. code called “Status-6”: a long torpedo 24 meters with a nuclear warhead probably out two megatons. “This is a completely new category of weapons – said the expert Hello Sutton -. It will force to change the planning of Western navies, leading to the definition of new requirements and new means to counter it ». The announcement of the test alone could have an impact on the West. As it is currently a weapon for which there is no defense.
Nuclear, final act
But that’s what those who know him well say for Putin, the atomic bomb could be the final act. His former ghostwriter Abbas Galliamov in an interview with Repubblica today, he claims that the tsar is “at war with reality” and “without any real strategy”: “He’s not the leader. He doesn’t drive, he is driven. It is at the mercy of events and people. He’s out of control. Everyone acts independently by pursuing their own goals. This is what happens when you are weak and lose ». Gallyamov explains why Putin wants to negotiate now: “He loses strength and legitimacy. The mood of protest is growing. The approvals fall. A trend that will probably be unstoppable. The only question is how quickly it develops».
And now everything is at stake: «If he lost the offensive in Ukraine, he would also lose power. And for him it would mean prison. Therefore, if he has no other way out, it is not out of the question that Putin will decide to start nuclear attack against Ukraine. Of course he doesn’t want that. It would be theextreme ratio. But the question is if the army obeys him. Because if Putin ever decides to launch a nuclear attack, it would mean that he is utterly defeated as far as conventional weapons are concerned. Is this it has lost all legitimacy in the eyes of army officers. Who can refuse to carry out his orders at this point. And the rejection would be a coup“.
The US Response to the Use of the Atomic Bomb
Vlad MykhnenkoProfessor the Oxford In an interview with Resto del Carlino, the Russian expert talks about the possible US reaction instead. In case of Deployment of the nuclear tactical weapon at the demonstration level, according to the expert, a military response will be required. «Three options: hitting Putin with a surgical procedure. Or target military targets like naval bases and areas. Finally bring civil infrastructures like the power grid to its knees”. For Mykhnenko the second way is more likely: “The Russian fleet in the Black Sea, which is not equipped with nuclear means, could be at the top of the list.” But the United States will not respond with a nuclear attack: «It seems very difficult to me, I don’t think it will be unleashed Armageddon nuclear”. If instead Putin dropped the atomic bomb on military or civilian targets, «Russia would officially become a pariah on a global scale. However, it takes time to prepare such an action. L’western intelligence he should recognize this in time. “
