The Pentagon has confirmed that a new Russian nuclear delivery drone is real. The undersea drone, which carries an enormous nuclear warhead to destroy coastal cities and military bases, was tested late last month. The test was leaked by unnamed sources to The Washington Free Beacon.
Russia calls the system "Ocean Multipurpose System 'Status-6," and it is allegedly capable of traveling underwater to distances of to 6,200 miles. It can submerge to depths of 3,280 feet and travel at speeds of up to 56 knots.
The U.S. intelligence agencies estimate Status-6 will carry a multi-megaton thermonuclear bomb payload. For comparisons' sake the bomb dropped on Hiroshima was 16 kilotons, several orders of magnitude smaller. A one megaton bomb is the equivalent of 1,000 kilotons—one one million tons of TNT. Reports from Russia indicate the bomb could be as large as 100 megatons.
>could be as large as 100 megatons.

Why would they even need that, they could vaporize every American with their land-based ICBMs.

complete misunderstanding of fluid dynamics.

That is kinda fucking neat, but I wonder how do they communicate with a submerged drone sub, IIRC only very short messages are possible with the low frequency comms

You now realize that the worst that Lockmart has ever done is nothing compared to the corruption of the russian defense industry.

So about as relevant as Haiti's military.

You missed the Pentagon part, buddy.

Russian defense industry is state-owned. So sure, it's corrupt, but not in the same sense. They don't waste money on idiotic projects.

Probably failed program - yes, Idiotic-no! Its reasonable to try to develop new generation fighter jest, fails happen to everyone.

The main target in a nuclear exchange is your enemies launch systems; the whole reason for the cold war nuclear arms race was to have so many usable nukes that if your geopolitical enemy decides to launch a first strike they can't hope to destroy all of them and you are able to return with a crippling strike, deterring your geopolitical adversary from launching a first strike in the first place.
'Status-6' is intended to be a return strike weapon, launched by submarines that cannot be easily destroyed by strategic nuclear assets and pretty much un-intercept able for the foreseeable future by virtue of it's speed and depth unlike ICBM based systems that have had respective defense systems designed against them since the 60s.

Yes, those projects are just making Dachas for ministers and CEOs while billions mysteriously vanish, not a waste comrade!

Are you acting retarded on purpose?

>>35097243
oh it's some kind of cruismissile that can operate independently of a sub, that's cool i gue-

do it further out at sea
this strategy doesn't actually work in real life

Why don't we just put the submarine nets around the Russian sub bases.
A giant undersea wall of nets.
Make the Russian navy pay for it.
