I miss the days when we just beat the shit out of each other with long sharp metal sticks.

America is probably already working on its own. The real story here isn't so much that Russia is building this, but that the news was leaked.

Why does Russia need secret nuclear armed drone subs?

America probably has a shit ton but will never admit it

Well if we don't have any we certainly will now because if Russia is doing some shit we aren't doing then some government officials feel like their balls have been plucked away.

It's about a nuclear deterrent. Right now, America has a huge advantage in submersible nuclear weapons, which are the most difficult kind of nuclear threats to deal with. Nuclear minisubs will be difficult to keep track of, much more so than regular submarines.

So then Russia thinks this just wouldn't lead us to try to come up with an even more difficult system to keep track of because...?

Well, that's the stupidity of arms races in a nutshell. There are only two responses to an arms race. First, embrace it, and spend all your money on increasingly ingenious but expensive weapons, second, give up and hope your opponent is prepared to deescalate.

Russia has a problem. Every time America builds missile defenses, no matter who they say the defenses are intended for (lately North Korea and Iran have been the alleged targets) Russia assumes that the defenses are aimed at nullifying Russia's nuclear deterrent so it starts doubling down on bigger, badder weapons. This is all because Russia has no hope of ever closing the conventional military gap with NATO (or China, for that matter).

What do you think NATO is going to do in response to this, OV?

At the end of the day, it isn't really a huge deal to the West.

It only shows incompetence because whoever let it "slip" forgot to put a picture of a shirtless putin on the front of the drone to show how strong it is and that it means biz!

Just seems too far fetched, "Look comrades, Boris forget to file away the plans for the super-secret nuclear missile submarine drone again. Oh, that Boris, so careless sometimes."

Maybe he drank too much vodka. Or perhaps not enough vodka.
