Disappearance of a Russian KILO submarine carries 4 cruise missiles with a warhead weight up to 500 kg off the coast of south Lebanon

They should stop naming their subs with words that being with 'K' .... K-129 ... Kursk

Maybe something just went berserk in the Eastern Med.

Oy Vey

if they are not nuclear, no big deal

KILO class are nuclear capable if I recall correctly.

They are armed with Kalibur cruise missiles which can be fitted with a nuclear warhead.

They have go stealth.....show of power

Orion obsolete

Thank you.

Yes.

I believe that is correct.

Yes, perhaps.

Check the nearest shore line . They might be taking a potty break and collecting fire wood for the boiler .

ANY RECENT 'SEISMIC' ACTIVITY IN THAT AREA RECENTLY...LIKE JUST BEFORE IT WENT LOST. ?UH

So that’s what they are looking for. I noticed them searching at 1am this morning, so I guess they’ve failed to locate it?


We also had a sub hunter just north of DC last night, till about 2 am.

Just replace (dissappearance) with (evaded or evading) and that is all this is..the Russian sub evaded detection..probably went deep and silent..that is what they do!

Apparently they CAN.

Apparently they CAN avoid detection by our P8's when they want to.

No biggie.

:nothingtoseehere:

In 2015, the submarine took part in combat operations in Syria, striking missiles at the positions of the banned terrorist organization ISIL in the Russian Federation. [link to e-news.su (secure)]

here is wikipedia about this boat. It's not nuclear [link to ru.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Can carry four Kalibr missiles.

Just sayin'


Quote:

The US has made several claims about the maximum range of Kalibr land attack versions in use by Russia. The U.S. Department of Defense estimates its range at 1,400 km (870 mi), and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu put its range at "almost 1,500 km (930 mi)." Following its first operational firing in October 2015, Russian Ministry of Defence statements suggested a range of 2,000 km (1,200 mi), while a December 2015 Office of Naval Intelligence report gathered a number of Russian statements projecting ranges between 1,500-2,500 km (1,600 mi). Discrepancies in range values may be attributed to poor understanding of the Russian defence industry, political declarations for strategic effect,[1] or potentially longer 2,500 km-range claims could be associated with a thermonuclear armed variant while shorter 1,500 km-range estimates are for the conventionally armed missile.[5]
