The US has now announced the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russia.
Donald Trump wants to dance the whole world at his behest since he became the President of America for the second time. He is making good friends of America enemies. In this episode, the US President had recently put India’s economy to a dead economy. Despite millions of warnings, the US has now announced to deploy two nuclear submarines with Russia, seeing Russia’s friendship with India. Due to this, the entire issue between America and Russia seems to be changing under stress. Let us know which of Russia and America are more powerful?
Donald Trump has said that he has ordered two nuclear submarines to be deployed after the instigating remarks of former Russian President Dimitri Medvedev. Earlier, Trump had given an ultimatum to Russia to cease with Ukraine. It was said that if Russia did not do a ceasefire, then it will have to face a strong ban. Only after this, Dimitri Medvedev warned Russia to adopt a dangerous strategy like ‘Dead Hand’. In fact, Dead Hand is a nuclear system of the Cold War era, which is fully able to create a nuclear attack even if the Russian leadership is completely eliminated.
What is a nuclear submarine?
It is necessary to make one thing clear here that the nuclear submarine is not actually a submarine equipped with nuclear weapons. Actually, this is also a normal submarine. There is only a difference between a nuclear submarine and a normal submarine that the normal submarine usually operates from diesel, while the atomic submarine operates with atomic energy. That is, the way a nuclear reactor is used for power generation, in the same way atomic reactors are installed in it to give energy to the nuclear submarine.
Overall, we can say so much to understand that nuclear fuel is used in a nuclear submarine. It is possible that any such submarine is also capable of carrying nuclear weapons, such as any diesel -powered submarine can also be made to be equipped with nuclear weapons.

Which country has so many nuclear submarines
Currently many countries of the world have nuclear submarines. According to a BBC report, America has the highest number of 68 nuclear submarines. This is followed by Russia’s number, which has a total of 29 nuclear submarines. China has 12, Britain has 11, France has eight nuclear submarines.
America’s nuclear submarine strength
America, a country with most nuclear submarines in the world, has Ohio class ballistic missile submarines. He has the number of Ohio Class SSBN submarines. Their biggest feature is that they are capable of operating within the ocean without coming to the surface for a long time. These submarines have been equipped with 24 Trident II D5 missiles. Apart from this, America has 24 number of Virginia class SSN submarines. State -of -the -art technology has been used in them.
Special chambers have been created for special campaigns in these submarines. Also, America has three sewolph class submarines which are capable of carrying more weapons. Not only this, 24 submarines of Angelis class are still in service in America. They were built especially in the year 1976 to deal with the threat of the Soviet Union.
America’s Ohio class submarines are capable of attacking with traditional weapons, but the US Navy can also carry out nuclear attacks through them. It is said that these submarines are one of the largest submarines ever. These submarines can travel up to more than 7400 km distance within the ocean and deliver nuclear weapons. Unlike the traditional SSBN version, SSGN version of these submarines can carry 154 Tamhoc cruise missiles. This causes the traditional attacks of the US Navy to become even more unmatched.

Russia currently has 8 such submarines and these 16 call missiles can take 6 torpedo launchers with them. Russian DELTA-IV submarines deploy 16 Sineva SLBMs. Apart from these, Russia has yasen and Akula submarines capable of carrying out quick attacks.
