Russian rhetoric serves short-term goals

Posted by Matt in February 1st, 2008

Russia’s boast of its right to rely on pre-emptive nuclear strikes to defend itself , rhetoric backed up by a major armed forces display in the northern Atlantic, has immediate political objectives.

The former USSR preferred not to talk about pre-emptive nuclear strikes and in mid-1980s Moscow unilaterally pledged not to use nuclear weapons first, but that has changed.

However, Russia’s top military officials conceded that the country’s nuclear deterrent was aging. In 2007, training naval deployment of Russia’s nuclear submarines was some 20 percent down year-on-year due to the technical state of the vessels, Shamanov announced on 30 January. In other words, even the generals have come to realize that saber-rattling has its limits.

Yamal, Russian nuclear powered ice breaker.
The Yamal is a nuclear powered ice breaker planned and started under construction in Soviet Era Russia. She is the youngest of five Arktika class ships built from the mid 1970's. Her keel was laid in 1986 in St. Petersburg, by the time she was launched in October 1992 communism had collapsed in Russia. Like many other Russian icebreakers, the Yamal is now chartered out on other operations, particularly for tourists to earn much need foreign currency. The original purpose of being used to keep northern navigational routes open during the winter, is now less important.

Russia (Soviet) nuclear test
"Tsar Bomba" ("King of Bombs"): The World's Largest Bomb largest nuclear weapon Time: 30 October 1961 Location: Parachute retarded airburst, 4000 m altitude Over Novaya Zemlya Island test range (in the Arctic Sea) Yield: 50 Megatons Shown here in the Russian Atomic Weapon Museum, the "Tsar Bomba" was the largest nuclear weapon ever constructed or detonated. This three stage weapon was actually a 100 megaton bomb design, but the uranium fusion tamper of the teritiary (and probably secondary) stage(s) was replaced by one made of lead to eliminate fast fission by the fusion neutrons. The result was also the cleanest weapon ever tested with 97% of the energy coming from fusion reactions. This weapon was developed in a remarkably short time. On 10 July 1961 Nikita Khruschev met with...
