Magazine: The launch of the Russian “Belgorod”, the silent “submarine carrier” and the maker of the “tsunami”

The media circulated news that the Russian nuclear submarine “Belgorod” with special and secret purposes, which is the longest and largest in the world, has launched to the depths of the sea to conduct new tests for the first time.

According to the Russian “Roskoi Urogi” website, the “Belgorod” nuclear submarine went to sea for the first time on June 25, where it will begin deep-sea testing operations.

The Russian submarine is one of the longest submarines in the world with a length of 184 meters, which has been enhanced with additional compartments with very unique and unparalleled features.
Unmanned “Poseidon” submarine carrier

The sources indicated that the new submarine, which bears the code (K-329), is the only current project of an underwater cruiser tanker capable of carrying Poseidon-type unmanned underwater vehicles.

The submarine can carry 6 crews of “Poseidon” submarines or other submarines, which provides it with wide-ranging advantages in carrying out external missions.
Infiltrated “silent” submarine

Despite the extreme secrecy about the characteristics of the submarine, its unique missions and capabilities, some sources confirmed that the submarine has a unique ability to infiltrate due to its engines on the one hand and its insulating structure on the other.

The submarine was equipped with special noise-canceling propellers that were uniquely designed and covered to preserve its secrecy during the launch ceremony.

Capable of forming a marine tsunami

The submarine “Poseidon” loaded on board “Belgorod” can create a large sea tsunami, according to military expert, Victor Barants.

The expert noted that the Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (submarine torpedo) Poseidon, equipped with a nuclear power plant, is designed to destroy coastal targets and inflict guaranteed irreparable damage to the enemy, including by forming a tsunami.

The expert noted that, “When the unmanned submarine approaches the enemy shore unnoticed, it sleeps in a place, where no one can detect it, and waits for orders. At the right moment, the command comes to the explosion, which will be nuclear. After it, not only a huge water funnel will appear. It will also start a terrible tsunami that sweeps away everything that comes its way: ships, aircraft carriers, cities. The enemy has no means against (Poseidon), and it is unlikely to appear in the next hundred years.”

Ability to disable a very important global service and perform a “special mission”

The report published in the French magazine “navalnews” specialized in naval military affairs, titled “The giant Russian submarine Belgorod sails for the first time”, indicated that there are two unparalleled features in the submarine, although its features have not been officially revealed.

According to the report, the submarine poses to this day a great mystery to the military locals in the world, as it combines two “contradictory” roles, the first as a host submarine, “any mother carrying submarines”, and the second as carrying out a massive nuclear strike under the name “special mission”.

The report indicated that the submarines loaded on board “Belgorod” can carry out very unique missions at great depths near the ocean floor, which gives them the ability to access and disrupt networks of global Internet lines and cables at the bottom of the oceans and seas. For example, you can disable the Internet around the world, depending on the source.
‘Uncountable’ weapons

The magazine touched on another feature that causes great concern to NATO, as the submarine can carry 6 unique nuclear warheads that no ship has at all.

The submarine carries “nuclear-powered and self-driving intercontinental torpedoes”, which are more than 20 meters in length and are in fact “giant underwater drones” with practically unlimited range and a nuclear warhead. The expected speed of these torpedoes is about 70 knots and operates at a depth of 1000 meters, and this “means that it cannot be confronted with existing weapons,” according to the source.
