US Submarine Appears Near Russian Coastal Waters? Russian Navy Admiral Explains Possible Deployment Locations of US Submarines

President of the United States, Donald Trump, claimed that Washington believes there is no need to develop long-range missiles in the arms race with Russia, as "the best in the world" US nuclear submarines have already been deployed near the Russian coast. In an interview with Focus, former Black Sea Fleet commander, former State Duma member, and Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov specifically analyzed the possible deployment locations of this submarine and the submarine model mentioned by the White House leader.

US leader Donald Trump stated that the United States believes there is no need to develop long-range missiles in the arms race with Russia, as "the best in the world" US nuclear submarines have already been deployed near the Russian coast.

When commenting on Russia's completion of the "Nizhnyaya" unlimited range cruise missile test, the White House official said: "They know we have the best nuclear submarines in the world, which are stationed right next to their coast. Therefore, (the US) does not need missiles with a range of 8,000 miles."

Trump also pointed out that Moscow's statement about completing the "Nizhnyaya" missile test was "inopportune," as the Ukraine conflict has not yet ended.

**Even Entered the White Sea**

Former Black Sea Fleet commander, former State Duma member, and Admiral Vladimir Komoyedov told Focus that the US submarine may be deployed in the Barents Sea. According to him, there have even been records of US submarines entering the White Sea.

"According to conventional practice, they usually patrol in the near waters of our (we can say) bases. In the north, that is, in the Barents Sea, they monitor the entrance to the Kola Bay and the passage for our ships heading to the Atlantic. In the Pacific direction, they conduct surveillance and reconnaissance in the near waters of Kamchatka Peninsula. There have been cases where US submarines entered the White Sea," the interviewee of the newspaper said.

**"Los Angeles"-class Submarines**

The admiral pointed out that the one discovered was a multi-purpose nuclear submarine of the US Navy.

"Usually, what is found there are 'Los Angeles'-class multi-purpose submarines, possibly also 'Seawolf'-class ones, but they do not carry ballistic missiles, but those capable of conducting reconnaissance, detection, tracking our forces, and transmitting information," Komoyedov said.

**Russia Has a Strong Detection System**

The expert emphasized that the main feature of submarines is their stealth. Therefore, Komoyedov said, the most complex task is to detect them.

"They can sail quietly, but they can travel far, especially nuclear submarines. Submarines always operate covertly. This is not only their advantage, but also the key to their successful operations. Therefore, the most complex task is to detect their underwater position. At the same time, the best means of countering submarines is submarines. But there are also surface ships equipped with sonar systems and stations that can detect and track, and even use weapons when necessary based on this data. In addition, there are air forces equipped with sonar buoys. Russia has all these means," the interviewee of Focus revealed.

Previously, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the test of the unlimited-range "Nizhnyaya" cruise missile with a nuclear power plant had been completed. According to Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, the missile flew in the air for about 15 hours. During this time, it could fly 14,000 kilometers. At the same time, he emphasized, "This is not the limit."
