Has Russia confirmed its status? Media: Russia tested a giant nuclear torpedo Status 6 comments
Yes, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm surprised. This is difficult to achieve, but it can happen.
Today they are doing PR like the Darkest One, they started waving a vigorous loaf

- Today there will be a holiday at the Pentagon. Generals and admirals will drink whiskey for the glory of Putin. Why, I gave them such a gift. Now you can go to Congress, shake this photo and demand more money for some projects. So today is a holiday for the girls..........
The United States and its allies are convinced that there really is a maniac in power in Russia and something needs to be done about it.
You can, of course, try to crush the adversary with the mosh of reason on the remnants of the USSR, and the military budget to the detriment of future generations. But the experience of the WHOLE rest of the world shows that with a bare ass... ugh, a budget the size of Apple, you can only launch Iskanders accompanied by Petrosyan... And after all, China is nearby, which has long understood this, and for the last twenty years, without much regard The fifth column in the USA was quietly putting together the fifth column, but our managers are still not happy...
The USSR built 244 nuclear submarines. And the rest of the world together built 240. The world lives on. But the USSR died.
- the USSR’s nuclear filament was longer and thicker, which did not prevent it from sinking into oblivion
we need to start with the economy to build superiority
What ridiculous and even childishly funny nonsense! Those. They do not recognize the terrorist attack, nor do they recognize the absolutely obvious worsening of the crisis, unemployment, collapse, collapse and sale of everything. But they recognize such an annoying “leak” of secret information about a super-mega secret weapon that turns Russia into the coolest power. But the most important thing is that this story is not even directed at the “enemy”, who is essentially the employer and partner of the Russian elite and the darkest. Therefore, these supposed enemies know more about our army than its military personnel. This stuffing is aimed at Russian TV viewers, so that they, in the next stream of incredible pride for their great country, will not notice that the Motherland has long been over. The herd supports the principle - even if there is no money in the country for kindergartens, medicine, pensions, roads, agriculture and opening our own production, we can build a mega-crap with which we will destroy all enemies! Adherents of Putin's sect get very excited when they imagine themselves victorious over the USA and NATO, but do not understand that their carcasses will burn in a nuclear apocalypse, while their leader and his retinue will be holed up in bunkers.
They shouldn't have thrown this crap in. Everyone understands perfectly well that a cobalt torpedo can be built.
It is also clear why they did this - to intimidate their partners so that they would not touch their accounts.
BUT they made a serious mistake. They decided to intimidate without having such a doomsday weapon.
And therefore there will be a reaction - they will not be fooled into creating it.
Putin is scary. Leak))) about the marine system of “extensive radiation contamination” of the US coast

- The most interesting thing is that this system simply does not exist. Fake. But God bless her. We are no match for America, and everyone understands this. This fake is for internal consumption and only for internal consumption. It is necessary to maintain the level of hatred in cotton heads. First they supported him with an airplane, now with fake weapons. Expect more to come soon. In Syria it’s a bummer, in Ukraine it’s a bummer. We need to come up with something else. They will come up with the most outright nonsense, but they will come up with it.
Citizen Putin openly declares that if they start to attract him to The Hague, he does not intend to sit on one Boeing. He needs at least an article for aggravated mass murder.
In addition, the very concept of “extensive radioactive contamination” somewhat does not fit into military strategy, but it completely falls under the ideology of terrorism with its “dirty bombs” and other methods. Nuclear landmines at transport junctions were planned for a completely military purpose - to stop the advance of Soviet tank armies. And Putin’s “extensive contamination of coastal territories” has only a secondary military component; what is primary here is pure terrorism - the impact on civilians, given the densely populated American coast. The American Navy is based in the ports. And in this Putin bullshit we are clearly talking about “extensive contamination of territories,” which clearly implies not only ports but also the coast in general and clearly looks like terrorism aimed at civilians.

- We still have to hold out until 2025.
- Where is the stamp “Soviet Secret, Ex. No.”? Why are people without security clearance nearby? This is a picture from the magazine "Murzilka".
- This is an information leak designed to scare opponents. It must be admitted that the arms race is in full swing. The Russian Federation does not have the resources to confront a coalition of democratic states, and our country also does not have allies. Russia is gradually being turned into a rogue country. From this situation, leaders are forced to prove to the world that they are capable of instilling fear in the enemy. This is what North Korea does, this is what Iran did. This news is directed not only externally, but also internally: the people are forming the opinion that we have a deadly club capable of destroying the enemy and making his land uninhabitable.
- we look at the timing of the adoption of the system into service and think why the idiots gave time for any preventive strike on the supposedly created system, given that in 5 years both the Shah and the Donkey will die more than once!
- A cobalt bomb is a theoretical modification of a nuclear weapon that produces increased radioactive contamination and contamination of the area with a relatively weak explosion. It is a radiological weapon.
It is a thermonuclear weapon in which the last shell contains not uranium-238, but cobalt-59. During the explosion, this shell is irradiated by a strong neutron flux, and the cobalt is transmuted into the radioactive isotope cobalt-60. The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.2 years; as a result of the beta decay of this nuclide, nickel-60 is formed in an excited state, which then passes into the ground state, emitting one or more gamma rays.
The activity of 1 gram of cobalt-60 is estimated at 41.8 TBq (1130 Ci). To ensure contamination of the entire surface of the Earth at a level of 1 gram per square kilometer, about 510 tons of cobalt-60 are required.
It is officially believed that cobalt bombs have not yet been created and no country has them in its arsenal.
Now apparently there is.

Putin-style as it is - the more saber-rattling and "patriotism" in foreign policy - the more liberalism in the economy. A new series of rattling shows that well...the economy is growing...
On Monday, November 9, during a meeting on the development of the military-industrial complex with the participation Russian President Vladimir Putin television journalists filmed documents about the classified “Ocean multi-purpose system “Status-6”. Press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the cameras of federal channels actually captured materials that were not intended for wide publicity.
“Indeed, some secret data was caught on camera, so it was subsequently deleted. We hope that this will not happen again,” the presidential press secretary said.
Peskov said he was not yet aware of anyone being punished for the incident, but promised that preventive measures would be taken to ensure such leaks do not happen again.
What is Status-6?
Status-6 is an ocean-going multi-purpose system that is being developed by the design bureau for the design of submarines of all classes of OJSC TsKB MT Rubin. The materials filmed by journalists allow us to conclude that the main component of the system is a torpedo (designated as a “self-propelled underwater vehicle”) equipped with a nuclear reactor. It carries a nuclear warhead with a power of 100 Mgt (the power of the Tsar Bomba, for comparison, is 57 Mgt). Travel speed is 185 km/h, torpedo range is 10 thousand km, travel depth is up to 1000 m. Military experts note that these characteristics are capable of ensuring a breakthrough of the US anti-submarine coastal system.
The purpose of the system is “to destroy important enemy economic facilities in the coastal area and cause guaranteed unacceptable damage to the country’s territory by creating zones of extensive radioactive contamination that are unsuitable for carrying out military, economic and other activities in these zones for a long time.”
Special nuclear submarines of projects 09852 Belgorod* and 09851 Khabarovsk** are indicated as torpedo carriers. The Status-6 multi-purpose system should undergo military acceptance in 2020.
Why is Status-6 called “Sakharov’s torpedo”?
Most military experts call the Status-6 project a legacy of developments Academician Andrei Sakharov. His T-15 project, nicknamed the “Sakharov torpedo,” was an underwater self-propelled vehicle that was supposed to carry a thermonuclear charge to the enemy’s shores.
In his memoirs, Sakharov wrote about the T-15: “One of the first with whom I discussed this project was Rear Admiral Fomin... He was shocked by the “cannibalistic nature” of the project and noted in a conversation with me that sailors were accustomed to fighting an armed enemy in open battle and that the very thought of such a mass murder was disgusting to him.”
Sakharov proposed using Project 627 nuclear submarines developed in the 50s as a “vehicle for delivering” a powerful nuclear charge (100 megatons). According to his calculations, as a result of the explosion of such a bomb, a giant tsunami wave would be formed, destroying everything on the coast. The T-15 project remained at the level of drawings and sketches, since at that time the USSR submarine fleet did not have the ability to carry ballistic missiles.
What is CDB MT Rubin?
OJSC "TsKB MT "Rubin" is the central design bureau of marine technology, one of the world leaders in the design of submarines and the leading design bureau of underwater shipbuilding in Russia. “Over more than 110 years of activity, we have accumulated vast experience in creating submarines of various classes. This experience is successfully used in the creation of not only military, but also civilian equipment. CDB MT “Rubin” has become a recognized partner of oil and gas companies in terms of developing equipment for the development of oil and gas fields on the continental shelf,” the company’s official website reports.
The Project 949AM multi-purpose nuclear submarine (NPS) Belgorod is an unfinished Russian nuclear submarine of the Antey class. Laid down at the Sevmash Production Association on July 24, 1992 under serial number 664. On April 6, 1993, it was renamed Belgorod. The construction of the nuclear submarine was frozen after the sinking of the Kursk submarine of the same type in 2000.
The nuclear submarine (NPS) "Khabarovsk" of project 09851 was laid down on July 27, 2014 at JSC PA "Northern Machine-Building Enterprise" in Severodvinsk. This is one of the most secret submarine cruisers of the Russian Navy; information about the completion of construction of the nuclear submarine is not publicly available.
November 2016, relations with the West are tense, to put it mildly, the world is preparing for a new round of the arms race, foreign policy rhetoric is becoming more and more hostile, a meeting is being held in the Kremlin on the development of the military-industrial complex with the participation of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Kremlin “pool”, as the journalists allowed to cover events with the participation of top officials of the state are called, are well-trained people and will not go against the will of the “father”, and any materials will undergo the necessary approvals, otherwise it is fraught with exclusion from the “close ones”. And then “accidentally” a document of the highest secrecy status appears in the frame of a television broadcast, in the header of which is emblazoned “Ocean multi-purpose system “Status-6”. Press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov later confirmed that these materials were not intended for wide publicity.

What is known today
Status-6(according to NATO codification - “ Canyon") - This ocean multi-purpose system, which is being developed by the design bureau for the design of submarines of OJSC TsKB MT Rubin. Materials “seen” by journalists allow us to conclude that the main component of the system is a torpedo (designated as a “self-propelled underwater vehicle”) equipped with a nuclear reactor. It carries a nuclear warhead with a capacity of 100 Mgt (the power of the Tsar Bomba, for comparison, is 57 Mgt). Travel speed is 185 km/h, torpedo range is 10 thousand km, travel depth is up to 1000 m. Military experts note that such characteristics are capable of ensuring a breakthrough of the US SOSUS coastal anti-submarine system.

The purpose of the system is “to destroy strategically important enemy economic facilities in the coastal area and cause guaranteed unacceptable damage to the country’s territory by creating zones of extensive radioactive contamination that are unsuitable for carrying out military, economic and other activities in these zones for a long time.”
Special nuclear submarines of projects 09852 Belgorod and 09851 Khabarovsk are indicated as carriers of the complex. The multi-purpose system "Status-6" should enter combat duty by 2020.

On December 8, 2016, American intelligence confirmed the practical test of an underwater unmanned vehicle with a nuclear power plant launched from the Sarov submarine on November 27. It should be noted that American intelligence expected the appearance of the first working prototype no earlier than 2019, so the high readiness of the drone, already capable of launching and moving from the mother submarine, caused significant concern among Pentagon experts.
The legacy of Academician Sakharov
Many people call the Status-6 project a legacy Academician Andrei Sakharov. His T-15 project, which received the secret nickname “Sakharov’s torpedo,” was an underwater self-propelled vehicle that was supposed to carry a thermonuclear charge to the enemy’s shores. In his memoirs, Sakharov wrote about this complex: “One of the first with whom I discussed this project was Rear Admiral Fomin...

According to the academician’s proposal, Project 627 nuclear submarines, developed in the 50s, were supposed to be the “vehicle for delivery” of a powerful nuclear charge (100 megatons). As a result of the explosion of such a bomb, such a gigantic tsunami wave is formed that everything living and inanimate on the enemy’s coast was destroyed would be destroyed. The scientist, as often happens, was ahead of his time; the T-15 project remained at the level of drawings and sketches.

Proposed type of nuclear submarine "Khabarovsk"
American experts quite expectedly reacted to the “stuffing” of information about the “Status-6” system, as in the opinion of The Daily Mirror newspaper, the fact that the demonstration of the system was carried out during a meeting on military topics, dedicated to the expansion of the US missile defense system, among other things, clearly shows that the weapon is seen as an asymmetric response to America's actions, rendering its missile defense system useless against strategic nuclear torpedoes. Many other Western analysts share the same opinion.
According to the US Nuclear Posture Review, Russia's Status-6 intercontinental autonomous nuclear torpedo is a real weapon that poses a real threat. At the same time, analysts assess the reality of this threat differently.
“This is clearly a threat to America that needs to be taken into account,” says former U.S. submarine officer Brian Clark, now a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.
Provided that the torpedo is created, the main danger for Washington lies in its ability to bypass the American missile defense system.
“The US military will begin to fear that Status 6 could fool the ballistic missile defense system,” Clark notes. “However, the new torpedo will be comparable in noise level to submarines or will be even more noticeable in this regard. Like a submarine, the torpedo is powered by a nuclear propulsion system consisting of a small reactor and turbine, but there is not enough room for noise-reducing design features such as “floating” decks and sound insulation. The US Navy must monitor these unmanned submarines using anti-submarine defense systems, including SOSUS.”
American sonars can easily detect a torpedo, but the United States has no effective defense against weapons like Status-6.
“The problem is finding a way to destroy the torpedo,” Clark says. – A submarine may abandon its plans after an unsuccessful torpedo attack or as a result of detection by sonar. But Status-6 has no crew, and will continue to move towards the target until it is physically stopped. Today, America does not have the weapons or technology that could be used to stop an underwater drone.”
"Status-6", despite all its innovation, is unlikely to become an effective weapon.
“In general, Status-6 is not considered an effective weapon,” Clark says. – A bomber carrying nuclear bombs or cruise missiles is controlled by a pilot who, in the event of an escalation or de-escalation of the conflict, may be ordered to abandon the operation or adjust his actions. In theory, the torpedo can also be recalled, but due to technical problems or communication problems, the activation or deactivation of the projectile may fail.”
“Status-6” is unlikely to be used in connection with balancing on the brink of nuclear war. “A torpedo is not as effective in terms of escalating a conflict, while bombers and ballistic missiles can signal to the enemy that a conflict is escalating, but without irreversible consequences,” Clark reports. “Status-6 does not give the enemy any signals other than an explosion or appearance in enemy waters, which makes it vulnerable.”
If U.S. intelligence reports about the weapon's existence are correct, perhaps the greatest danger is that the Status-6 warhead could be lost or stolen.
“Equipping Status 6 with a nuclear warhead could expose this type of Russian nuclear weapon to loss or theft,” Clarke said. “Even with protections against tampering, the Russian government is unlikely to want to lose control of its nuclear weapons, especially given its emphasis on escalation and self-policing.”
Former Soviet-Russian arms control negotiator Nikolai Sokov, now a senior fellow at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, called the concept an echo of the Soviet era.
“The concept is very old and dates back to a time when intercontinental ballistic missiles and sea-launched ballistic missiles were few and considered unreliable and vulnerable,” Sokov told The National Interest. – Today it is difficult to understand why to create a slow projectile with a power of 100 megatons. When a presentation slide was shown on Russian television a few years ago, I thought it was a ploy to alarm American intelligence. The authenticity of intelligence information about recent tests raises questions. Russia is actively working on the creation of small submarines. I readily believe that a carrier submarine is being developed with small submarines on board capable of diving to significant depths. But why equip them with 100 megaton warheads?”
Geoffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, suggested that the slow-moving torpedo would be used to attack coastal targets such as naval bases. “It could explode in a port, destroy ships, or simply threaten coastal cities like New York,” Lewis said. “In my opinion, America can create a defense against such attacks, although I am not sure whether it will be effective.” In my opinion, this will be easier than intercepting a missile.”

US authorities have confirmed the existence of a Russian unmanned submarine project capable of launching a nuclear strike on the United States. The American media came to this conclusion after analyzing the 47-page text of the draft new US nuclear doctrine.
“In addition to the ongoing modernization of the Soviet nuclear legacy, Russia is developing new nuclear warheads and launch vehicles. These efforts include updating each component of the nuclear triad: strategic bombers, sea-launched missiles and land-based missiles. “Russia is also developing at least two new intercontinental strike systems, a hypersonic glider and a new strategic nuclear underwater autonomous torpedo,” says The Huffington Post.
We are talking about the project of the Status-6 nuclear robotic system. Previously, American authorities did not confirm information about the existence of this secret Russian project. At the end of 2016, Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said the following: “We are closely monitoring the development of Russian undersea technology, but will not comment on it.” However, “Status-6” was still assigned an index according to the NATO classification - “Canyon”.
The threat of American power
It is generally accepted that Status-6 first became known “by chance” from a presentation for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The “Secret Slide” was shown on November 9, 2015 at one of the meetings on the development of the military-industrial complex.
“Indeed, some secret data was caught on camera, so it was subsequently deleted. We hope that this will not happen again,” Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov commented on the “leak.”
However, Russian and foreign analysts were not inclined to trust the explanation of the Kremlin speaker. The expert community has established the view that Moscow deliberately allowed the Status-6 project to be demonstrated to the general public. This may indicate that the development of the underwater drone is nearing completion.
In the West, they fear that the deadly drone could become another “nuclear trump card” up Moscow’s sleeve. In such a situation, the United States will have to increase military spending, inventing new methods of countering the Russian nuclear submarine fleet.
In Russia, the Status-6 project is perceived as an additional and very effective tool to deter the United States. Considering the potential power of this nuclear drone’s warhead, analysts come to the conclusion that the project is Moscow’s asymmetric response to Washington’s policies. Such a destructive weapon negates US efforts to improve global missile defense and create some kind of superweapon against the Russian Federation.
It is assumed that Status-6 will ensure the guaranteed defeat of the naval bases of an overseas superpower. The berths of American submarine cruisers carrying intercontinental ballistic missiles are mainly under threat. American missile carriers can be hit by Russian drones both during combat duty in the oceans and while in dock.
In addition, Status-6 can become a doomsday weapon. In the event of a nuclear war, drones will strike American cities, which are extremely vulnerable to the Russian submarine fleet, as they are located on the ocean coast.
Of course, in response to the appearance of Status-6 in the Russian Navy, the United States could quickly create a similar nuclear drone (it is quite possible that the Americans are already developing it). However, it is obvious that the effect of its use against the Russian Federation will be incomparable. Almost all major cities of Russia are located inside the continent.
Heir to the Soviet Tsar Torpedo
In Status 6, Russia de facto implements the Cold War idea of creating a Tsar Torpedo (Soviet T-15 project) capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to the US coast. However, the T-15 is only a distant prototype of the Russian “Status-6”, which will be distinguished by advanced artificial intelligence. This robotic drone will be as autonomous as possible from its operator.
From an earlier “leak” it follows that a Russian underwater drone equipped with a mini-nuclear reactor will perform tasks at a distance of up to 10 thousand kilometers, diving to a depth of up to one kilometer. “Status-6” will be located on the nuclear-powered submarines “Belgorod” of project 949AM “Antey” and “Khabarovsk” of project 09851. Both submarines are under construction, which is expected to be completed in 2020.
The length of the drone will be 24 meters, and the combat module will be 6.5 meters. The speed of the device is amazing. It is claimed that it can reach 90 knots (166 km/h). For comparison, the American MK-48 torpedo has a speed of 55 knots. Such high-speed characteristics make the Russian drone invulnerable to interception.
The experimental diesel-electric submarine B-90 Sarov of Project 20120 and auxiliary vessels of Project 20180 Zvezdochka will be responsible for technical support and repairs of Status-6. The development of the drone is being carried out by the St. Petersburg Central Design Bureau MT "Rubin" - the flagship of the Russian Federation's design ideas in the field of the submarine fleet.
At the moment, only one test of “Status-6” is known. In December 2016, The Washington Free Beacon, citing US intelligence data, reported that in the fall a drone was launched into the sea from the Sarov. There is no information about the test results.
In November 2017, The National Interest published an article by analyst Michael Peck entitled “Russia is creating a very strange weapon - underwater intercontinental ballistic missiles.” The author of the material doubts that Moscow is capable of developing a nuclear drone that meets the characteristics stated in the media.
“At an ocean depth of a thousand meters there are many seamounts and canyons (one American nuclear submarine almost sank when it collided with such a mountain at a depth of 160 meters). How can a Status-6 torpedo travel 10,000 kilometers without crashing into some rock if it doesn’t have an ultra-modern navigation system, or if they don’t put a kamikaze navigator at the helm?” Peck asks rhetorically.
Indeed, St. Petersburg designers will have to solve a lot of complex problems. Domestic experts admit that Russia lags far behind the United States in the development of autonomous underwater systems and artificial intelligence. At the same time, do not underestimate the capabilities of the same Rubin. At least in the West, they are convinced that Russia is making every effort to close the gap in aerial and underwater drones.
