The Royal Navy Nuclear Missile Submarines That Russia Fears

The Vanguard-class submarines are the largest submarines ever built in the United Kingdom, measuring about 150 meters in length and weighing more than 16,000 tons. The submarines have twice the displacement of the Resolution-class Polaris submarines. Because of the size of the boats, a special production facility was established to handle the Vanguard and her sister submarines' construction. Even though the subs’ size was enlarged to accommodate the Trident D5 missile, yet the complement of the class is small at just 132 officers and sailors, compared to the Polaris boats, which had a crew of 149. The 16-tube missile compartment on the new Trident submarines is based on the 24-tube system utilized on the United States Navy’s Ohio-class Trident submarines. The United States is in charge of missile maintenance, while the UK Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston was in charge of all design, manufacturing, and installation, as well as warhead maintenance.

Since the UK has decided to increase the nuclear arsenal by 40% it may no longer be the case that they only carry 8 missiles

And also the uk has full control over our missile some people think that the USA has control over them lol

[@keeh8267]

Russia fear of the English? It's like a drunker saying his not drunk after 8 pints at the pub.

[@Grandslam245]

Is this the one that burnt up somewhere and had to go home before it could do its mission? Yeah, 1 belgorod sub can just delete a whole country with Poseidon warheards or something, air capable torpedoes or something 2x as powerful as the tsar bomb.

Russia fears 😆 🤣 lol .

I know right its the farmers of Ukraine they are really scared of! They keep stealing equipment from them 😂

[@furiousscotsman2916]

At this rate the Russia navy would probably fear a single guy in a dinghy with an AK47, sad state of the Russian military.

[@nemiw4429]

Look at the size of russia and compare it to the uk. Russian nuclear bomba could eat up uk in minutes.

[@lionking8448]

Just Remember UK is part of NATO an attack on one member would trigger all out Nuclear attack on Russia by NATO including the US . Britain alone could attack with Trident killing 40 million Russians alone. and on top of that attack after Russia destroys UK which I doubt NATO including America would be busy destroying Russia and Russia knows it so Russia would be destroyed as well.

Uk's nukes will not respect the large size of Russia.😆😆😝😝🤪🤭🤭

Russia is small most is ice

[@WilliamEvans-py4gq]

Russia your arms are useless 😂

[@nemiw4429]

@@WilliamEvans-py4gq if Russian arms are useless, then why doesn't NATO attack it? NATO attacked Iraq, Yugoslavia, Syria, Lybia etc. I served in Kanton Zürich, Swiss Air Force. My IQ is above avg, I wont adjust for sheeps, or media parrots. I speak with military experience. RU can crush the UK [and the world at the same time]. The UK can retaliate unproportionaly by Submarines. UK has about 60 nukes. 100x less than RU. Its a long time ago, since I sat in military school, so take everything with a chunk of salt: lets say 2 Subs are on patrol, each 4 nukes × 4 warheads 16 × 4 = 64 warheads. Enough to destroy [city and surroundings of] Moscow, St. Petersburg, but that's it. When RU can literaly make the UK a wasteland. The Poseudon nuke won't create a Tsunami, as it spreads 360°, still it will catapult drops of nuclear water all arround the island, that will make live there impossible. Guessing by ur childish behavior, ur very young, therefore u lack any experience. Edit: I question ur IQ, so let me put that in a "short" format. Or ur literaly paid to spread propaganda in YT comments, if this is the case, all ur statements can just be reverted 180° to know the truth. We learned that in military about propaganda. TLDR; UK wud become wasteland specialy due to Poseidon . Russia wud lose tens of millions, but survive.

[@hanabangirawan3291]

useless or nothing for face to face with russian missile ,.

[@mattstephentabamocosmic]

Useless against Russia? Putin is even angry on UK because they support Ukraine and trains the Ukrainian soldiers in their soil hahahahaha meanwhile Putins military is amateur type and paper tiger. And also their missiles has a 60% failure rate hahahahaha
