| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Project 885M Yasen-M submarines, created in Russia, are capable of unexpectedly attacking American submarines from close range. The American magazine National Interest published an article that talks about the firepower, endurance and stealth of Russian submarines. Submarines are designed for close-range combat. They can approach an American or NATO enemy undetected thanks to their ultra-quiet equipment and suddenly attack them with 533-millimeter torpedoes. The same applies to attacks against surface ships. In addition, the Project 885M submarines have powerful missile weapons, including the Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles, and are also capable of carrying the Zircon hypersonic complex. It is noted that the United States cannot defend itself against hypersonic weapons. “The American fleet and the fleets of NATO allies are significantly inferior in firepower to the Yasen-M submarines of the Russian Northern Fleet,” the article emphasizes. Project 885 Yasen submarines are a series of modern fourth-generation multipurpose submarines. Currently, the Russian Navy has one Project 885 submarine and four Project 885M submarines. As reported by the Regnum news agency, the newest Russian hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile system Oreshnik has become the most powerful conventional (not prohibited by any conventions) weapon in the world. This opinion was expressed on December 28 by military analyst Drako Bosnic in an article for the InfoBRICS portal. On December 28, the German publication Bild, citing an internal document from the German Foreign Ministry, wrote that Germany is effectively defenseless against Russian Oreshnik missiles. It was noted that this weapon is characterized by maneuverability at high approach speeds and a multi-charge warhead.
