re: Russia sends worlds largest Sub to the Baltic: armed with 20 nuclear missiles

Typhoons were built to hide in the world's deepest oceans and stay there undetected for months, whereas the stretch of water separating Scandinavia and northern mainland Europe has an average depth of just 180 feet.

This will mean it will be forced to surface to avoid scraping along the sea bed, giving enthusiasts the chance to catch a glimpse of the beast.
Just two days ago, Lithuania warned NATO that Russia has the capability to attack the Baltic states with as little as 24 hours' notice according to intelligence sources.

Such a sneak attack would force NATO to respond with just the small number of military assets in place, the Lithuanian intelligence service claimed.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, annexed by the Soviet Union in the 1940s but now part of both NATO and the European Union, have been increasingly nervous since the Russian takeover of Crimea in 2014.

So Russia could send this to the Baltic without publicly announcing it right? I just ask because my cousin in the Navy worked on submarines and we never and will never know what part of the world he was in.

Russia announced it because they are douchebags.

Aren't we overdue for a Russia sub to spring a leak... and sink to the bottom of some arctic sea?

Everyone knows Russia has nukes. Moving the sub to the Baltic sea doesn't make it any more of a threat than if it was off the shore of Russia. ICBM's are ICBM's no matter from where they are launched.

This. It's all a show. Trump and Putin probably called each other and laughed about it then laughed about how much a clown McCain is.

Even Trump couldn't frick an actual war against Russia. The problem is Putin knows he loses unless it goes nuclear. Then we both lose

Those controls look about 75 years old

Russian is just flexing. It's what they do.

While nuclear power is a real threat, it truely is outdated as well. The technology that we know about and what we DONT know about is unreal with the US military.

Look up "the rod of god" and not to mention the rail gun.

My cousin spent about 6 years on a sub. We never new when he was going out or coming back. We'd just get a call one day that he was on leave coming to visit. He told me some sweet cat and mouse stories though.
