Russia is increasing its achievements in the field of nuclear weapons. The latest torpedo with a nuclear warhead has already been developed, hypersonic missiles have appeared, helicopters and ground-to-air ammunition are being improved. Brian Eastwood, a military columnist for 19Fortyfive, said that Moscow already has five types of weapons that can be called the deadliest.
The first one he mentioned was the Poseidon nuclear torpedo with a huge range. It will be launched from the K-329 Belgorod submarine. “Huge as a bus”, she is able to reach the coast of the USA
The expert considered the S-400 Triumph missile defense system particularly powerful. It can not only destroy manned aircraft and some dons. It can be used to destroy cruise and ballistic missiles at a distance of up to 250 miles. Each battery has eight launch charges of 32 missiles with a radar and a mobile command post.
The Pantsir S-1 mobile launcher has 12 surface-to-air guided missiles and two 30-millimeter cannons. It is capable of shooting down aircraft, ballistic and cruise missiles, high-precision ammunition. Some upgraded variants have improved radar, increased detection range and efficient rotating guns.
Brian Eastwood compared the Mi-28NM Superhunter attack helicopter with the American AH-64 Apache. The Russian helicopter is equipped with sensors that allow you to fly and attack at night. It has the latest radar, which provides an all-round view with a radar image. The Mi-28NM reaches a speed of 186 mph with a range of 280 miles. He has a 30-millimeter cannon, conventional and anti-tank missiles “Attack”. Some helicopters have all-weather functions, which is especially valuable in the Middle East.
The expert also mentioned the Yars missile systems. They are designed to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles. Each system can carry 3-6 warheads with a capacity of 150-200 kilotons. The range is about 10 thousand kilometers. “Yars” is quite difficult to detect, and preparation for the launch of missiles takes seven minutes.
