Why US Navy Submarines Fear This Russian Destroyer? #shorts
10,203Why American submarines feared this Russian destroyer. To defend Kiev-class carriers and Kirov-class battlecruisers from submarines, which have in the past sunk major ships, the Soviets created the Udaloy-class destroyers. This ship arrived with some shocking abilities for an American submarine captain. It carried two Kamov Ka-27 "Helix" anti-submarine helicopters and weighed 6,700 tons. The two quadruple launchers on this vessel, which can carey the SS-N-14 Silex missile, are its most distinctive feature. This weapon outranged the torpedoes on NATO submarines, giving it a critical range of just over 34 miles. These ships could be screening a Kirov or Kiev, preventing an American submarine on the prowl from getting close enough to strike the valuable ship. Eight eight-round launchers with SA-N-9 "Gauntlet" missiles, a point-defense surface-to-air missile, two CADS-N-1 close-in defense systems with 30mm cannons, and eight SA-N-11 "Grison" missiles were also included in the list of additional weapons. Only eight of the twelve built by the Soviets are still in use, but they nevertheless provide Russia with a strong anti-submarine station.
