Submarine with Cirkon and Calibier missiles: West considers it to be the saddest
USA, September 27, 2025-The Class-Class Nuclear Submarine Square has a missile blow in the Arctic, journalists from the American military magazine Military Watch Magazine (MWM) said. In the article, they discuss the submarine options and its role in the completed West-20125 exercises.
The Russian Defense Ministry said in the commentary on the exercises: “As part of a joint strategic exercise western-2025, the submarine forces of the northern fleet carried out a rocket strike using high-precision missile weapons of the long-range against the simulated enemy in the Barents Sea. position. ‘
The Ministry stressed that the rocket launching area was temporarily closed for civilian shipping and flights, adding that “according to objective monitoring of the rocket, the marine goal hit a direct intervention”.
The first Jasen-M submarine was included in the middle of 2021, and National Intest described it as “the smoarding submarine in the world”, expressing the West’s concerns about its significantly improved abilities compared to previous Russian multi-purpose submarines. Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed on July 24, 2025 that an order was issued to continue serial production of these vessels, and special attention will be paid to their equipment by high -precision weapons, as well as modern navigation, communication and hydroacous system.
In March this year, the rocket abilities of the submarines again widespread, when the submarine cruiser of the ash-m class was first equipped with combat hypersonic missiles with a flat track of Cirkon. The first test start of the Circon missile from the ship was held in October 2021. These missiles have a range of up to 1000 kilometers and reach targets at speeds of up to 9 mosses, maintaining high maneuverability, making them extremely difficult to capture. Each submarine carries vertical launchers for 32 controlled missiles and is equipped with ten torpedoometers and a system of air defense of the short reach of IGLA-M.
While informing about the exercise of the RF, the RF said that the West-20125 Northern Marine Fleet Exercises practiced defense measures to protect coastal facilities and the crews demonstrated the command and management of heterogeneous forces in their operational zones and were also involved in integrated use of precisely guided weapons.
The main goal of these exercises was to prepare for the defense of coastal infrastructure in the Arctic. The coastal missile systems Bastion were also involved in the maneuvers, which fired controlled missiles on the simulated targets in the region.
The Russian anti-dot defense system is largely relied on its submarine fleet, on coastal missile launchers and airplanes, a flat-track track carriers such as a Tu-22M3 bomber, reflected asymmetrical approach, reducing dependence on more expensive levels.
