I think that 955A patrolling the area around the North Pole would be better suited for this purpose

That is jus one more bogus of the angloids.
Russkie can torch you, no matter if you are bunquered in Wyoming or sitting in a vault in New Zealand.
Putin put that clear : they do know where are the vaults, and will strike right into. With no need to repeat.

And certainly there's no need to send a Gorshkov practically on its own anywhere either. What's the use of it unsupported in Cuba?

Well that's all true, but there is nothing quite like a Zircon parked within range of the White House though. There's barely enough time to shit yourself between being informed of the missile and the impact happening, and you can forget about that underground bunker beneath the White House too; the Zircon can potentially get you down there too. wrote:

But I don't believe Russkie will. They never did, even in the Soviet times.
In some of the historical cases, thay have proved to be capable to make a setback and restrict their own privileged position to maintain peace.
Do you think Russia has the ability to launch a decapitating nuclear attack on the US?

If there is a "decapitation strike" window of opportunity, it would be now or pretty soon. NATO arsenal will downgrade in the next half a decade, while Russkie will only improve. The US would use such an advantage at least as a strong political leverage. wrote:
I will only remind you, that the last tests of Promethei were conducted only a few months ago. And it has intercepted two R-29 SLBMs, which are more advanced than Trident is ... S-500 is operational ... And they can make at least 2 batteries per year ... wrote:
In the case of the USA, decapitation is extremely difficult.
In the event of an attack with ICBM and SLBM complexes, the USA has enough time to react.
he only option is to launch a decapitation strike using 3M22 missiles and Yasen-M ships. The missiles will reach the main decision-making centers in the US in Washington within 3 minutes. This will disrupt the timing of the decision to retaliate and then launch a nuclear attack with ICBM and SLBM missiles. For ICBM launchers and SSBN ship bases. This is obviously a very risky game and Russia would not take it.
The S-500 likely intercepted the RV in its terminal phase while already in the atmosphere. This has its pros and cons.
In addition to the S-500, the Russians are developing the 53T6M and probably another exoatmospheric missile, perhaps even Nudol. Interesting, because it seems that in ABM systems they already have an advantage over the USA, which has pumped huge resources $ into NMD.

I used to think that political cartoonist were extraordinary people. But turned out some of them were sore losers.
