Will let "zircon" from the pole: whether the US is scared by the underwater cruiser "Perm" of the Russian Federation in the Arctic

Does the White House see a threat to the Zircon bearer received by the Kremlin in the midst of the Russian-Ukrainian war? Russia will unfold in the Arctic a new submarine of the class "Yasen-M", equipped with hypersonic missiles "Zircon"-a clear sign of the desire to dominate in the best region of the world. Last Friday, Russian President said: "No secret" that Russia's defense potential "is largely related to the research and use of northern latitudes.

" According to Putin, "our strategic submarines come under the ice of the Arctic Ocean and disappear from radars . . . This is our military advantage. And research, including [in the Arctic], is extremely important to us. " Focus has translated the article "As a new Russian submarine" Perm "can dominate the North Polar Circle of" American security analyst Brandon Weikherta, dedicated to the issue of Russian dominance in the Arctic.

The article that appeared on the National Interest portal refers to the technical characteristics of a new Russian submarine and what it can affect the balance of power in the region. In other words, while Washington focused on the war in Ukraine - a war that has been going on for too long and which is not for the most part of the interests of America, - Moscow seeks to dominate the Arctic "attic" of the United States.

Putin's statements are related to the recent descent of the newest submarine of the Russian fleet "Yasen-M"-"Perm". According to Thomas Nilsen, author of Barents Oberver, "Perm"-"The first of the submarines of the class" Yasen-M ", which will become a permanent carrier of" Zircon "missiles designed for weapons both by ordinary and nuclear warhead. " The Yasen-M submarine, also known in Russia as "Project 885m", is an improved version of Russian nuclear submarine of the class "Yasen".

These submarines, developed by the Malachite design bureau and built on the Suvmash Naire, are designed to replace old Soviet ships such as the Sublite and Antae submarines. Yasen-M submarines are combined with protical remedies (ASW) with the possibility of launching winged rockets for a long range, which makes them universal multi-purpose platforms.

Project work throughout the series of Submarines "Yasen" began in the 1980s, but the variant "Yasen-M" began to be arrived in 2021, with the commissioning of K-561 "Kazan". The Russian "Perm", the newest submarine of the class "Ash", became the sixth in the general class and the fifth in the more powerful version of the class "Yasen-M".

It was laid on July 29, 2016 at the Sevmash Shipyard in Severodvinsk and laid on the water on March 27, 2025 during a ceremony, which was attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin. So far, it is undergoing maritime tests, and at the end of this year it will officially become part of the Pacific Fleet of Navy.

"Perm" is of particular importance because it became the first submarine of the class "Yasen-M", specially built for carrying hypersonic missiles 3m22 "Circon", not modernized as previous submarines. This feature makes "Perm" an important remedy for hypersonic blows against naval vessels or land objects.

It is reported that the integration of "Zircon" on "Perm" is a transition to the standardization of hypersonic weapons on new submarines, and it is expected that future submarines, such as "Ulyanovsk", "Voronezh" and "Vladivostok" will imitate this example. As for the hypersonic winged rocket 3M22 "Zircon", this weapon is unique in that it is completely deployed and integrated into the growing arsenal of Russia. The US does not have similar weapons or significant protection against it.

The same goes for America allies in NATO and other countries. Zircon missiles develop speeds up to 9 strokes and have a flight range of about 900 km. Their hypersonic speed and maneuverability make the interception extremely difficult, if not impossible. The deployment of this submarine with Zircon missiles in the Arctic is a clear sign that Moscow is seriously ready to fight for the top of the world. For the United States, this result is unacceptable.

But this proves even more that the Americans have made a serious deterioration of their strategic situation. The Putin's government has loudly declared its dominance in the Arctic since in 2007 a Russian miniature submarine has installed a Russian flag at the Arctic Ocean. Since then, the Americans have attributed this extremely important region to minor, while the Russians have worked hard on its control and development.

This fact has become one of the main causes of Donkikhot's Donald Trump's Donald attempts to annex Greenland and make Canada more obey Washington in trade and regional security. As the Russians unceremoniously capture the Arctic, the US Navy must play a more active role there. So far, they are lagging behind in a strategic pursuit.

The Russians already strengthen their domination in the Far North, while Washington is still arguing about how to implement Trump's far -sighted strategy to protect the hemisphere. Soon America can see how Russian submarines armed with hypersonic missiles "Zircon" are approached by the Eastern coast of the United States, without meeting the US Navy. Brandon J.
