Deploying Off Florida's Coast: How Powerful is Russia's Yasen-M Class Attack Submarine

June-10th-2024

The Russian Navy has deployed a Yasen-M Class nuclear powered attack submarine to lead a flotilla to Cuba, reflecting broader trends towards increased interest from Moscow in military operations in Latin America. The warship will dock in the Cuban capital Havana from June 12-17 alongside the the Project 22350 frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the oil tanker Pashin, and the salvage tug Nikolai Chiker. The deployment has been widely interpreted as one of many responses to escalating U.S. military support for Ukraine, including provision of longer ranged missiles to Kiev, permitting them to be used against targets deep inside Russia, and providing personnel and targeting data by aircraft and satellite to facilitate such attacks. .....

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I wonder if their XO has a fondness for plump females, bunnies, and underpopulated mountainous states.

Why did they send them? In what scenario can it be a "good thing"?

No different than our ships transiting the Taiwan Straight or other areas in the South China Sea.

It was a planned trip to Cuba they've done historically.

Turns out ships can go where they want in international waters. They've sailed to Cuba and/or Venezuela many many times.

Correct.... we don't send salvage tugs with them though to tow them in when they break down....

The USN/USCG and our French and Canadian allies are shadowing the Russian flotilla. LOL that the Russians felt it necessary to bring along a tug, too.

"It is worth stressing that naval and air forces around the world routinely shadow each other, especially when foreign ships or aircraft get relatively close to a country's territorial waters or airspace. In addition to just keeping an eye on the movements of those forces, monitoring them offers opportunities to gather intelligence about their capabilities, including from the signals their radars and other emitters pump out, as well as to test friendly sensors and other systems on real-world threats."

That's what I was thinking. Imagine the pair of jumper cables needed for that trip.

So I am 47. Lets say I live to 87.

In the next 40 years what are the odds I either live through or witness a nuclear war?

Your best guess.
