The 24th “bestial” division of the submarine forces of the Northern Fleet of Russia includes nuclear submarines (nuclear submarines) “Panther”, “Vepr” and “Cheetah” of project 971, capable of imperceptibly control of the actions of the US Navy , says TASS columnist Dmitry Litovkin.
According to the author, submarines made of ordinary ship rental are distinguished by their low noise, achieved thanks to the machines of the Japanese corporation Toshiba purchased in the 1980s. “Thanks to them, the production of shaft lines and propellers has reached a completely different technological level. In response, the Japanese received sanctions from the US State Department for their inability to trade,” the observer writes.
Litovkin recalls that in the coming years, the “animals” will gather almost in full. So, in 2021 the nuclear submarine “Leopard” will return to service, in 2022 – “Tiger”, in 2023 – “Wolf”. “The preservation of the grouping of these submarines as part of the Navy significantly expands Russia’s capabilities to ensure its own security on long-distance sea communications,” the author writes.
