[Regnum] The Russian Pacific Fleet has been replenished with two fourth-generation nuclear submarines, the Emperor Alexander III and Krasnoyarsk, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on September 25.

It is specified that the submarine crews were ceremoniously greeted by the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Alexander Moiseyev and Deputy Minister of Defense Pavel Fradkov at their base - the port of the city of Vilyuchinsk in Kamchatka.

"The new nuclear submarines, which significantly increased the combat potential of their Pacific Fleet units, were brought to combat readiness within the planned timeframe and prepared to solve all tasks for their intended purpose, including in the difficult conditions of the Arctic," said Admiral Moiseyev.

Fradkov emphasized that these cruisers are superior to their counterparts.

"Emperor Alexander III" and "Krasnoyarsk" have no equal among other submarines of the same class. Now these vessels will perform tasks to ensure strategic deterrence and increase the combat potential of the country as part of the Pacific Fleet," Fradkov said.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 16, as part of the Okean-2024 exercises, these submarines made an under-ice passage through the Arctic. The nuclear cruisers passed along polar routes from the Northern Fleet operational zone to the eastern part of the Arctic, passing the waters of six Arctic seas in difficult ice conditions.

On September 10, ships, coastal complexes and submarines of the Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet practiced a joint strike on a simulated enemy during the Okean-2024 exercises. Before this, it was reported that over 400 warships, submarines and support vessels would take part in the Okean-2024 exercises.

#1 I wonder if the US station that tracked Soviet vessels worldwide and posted location at Suitland, Maryland, is still in operation.
