Russian Navy obtains 2 Nuclear Submarines and 4 warships amid Russia-

Moscow: As the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalates, four new warships were added to the Russian Navy on Thursday. It includes two nuclear submarines along with a destroyer and a minesweeper. At this time, President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia would speed up the production of warships and submarines in the future.

During the early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine claimed to have sunk the flagship warship Moskva, part of the Russian Navy. Western media, including Ukraine, claimed that this incident was a blow to the morale of the Russian Navy and Defense Forces. After the sinking of Moscow, there were claims that the Russian Navy had reduced its involvement in the conflict in Ukraine and that some warships had been sent to other areas. After the Moscow incident, there were also incidents of Ukraine trying to target warships stationed at bases in Crimea.

Against this backdrop, the inclusion of four new warships in the Russian Navy is noteworthy. It includes two nuclear submarines, namely ‘Generalissimus Suvorov’ and ‘Emperor Alexander III’. It is said that ‘Generalissimus Suvorov’ is in service with the Navy and some trials of ‘Emperor Alexander III’ are pending. These submarines can deploy 16 ‘Bulawa’ nuclear warheads each. In the past few months, Russia has used warships and submarines to carry out missile attacks on Ukraine. Hence the inclusion of two new submarines becomes important. Four more advanced nuclear submarines will join the Russian Navy in the coming years, sources said.

Apart from nuclear submarines, destroyer (corvette) ‘Grad’ and minesweeper ship ‘Anatoly Shlemov’ also joined the Navy. President Putin was present for all these events through video conference. At this time, he indicated that changes would be made in the Russian Navy based on the experience gained from the Russia-Ukraine campaign.
