On May 18, 2022, it became known about the expansion to the north. While Finland and Sweden are thinking about whether to enter the alliance or not, Russia accelerates the introduction of new technology and increases the military potential of the domestic fleet.

In June, a representative of the Russian defense industry announced plans to equip the Northern Fleet with a new infrastructure. A shipbuilding plant "Admiralty shipyards" will build 6 atomic submarines. Read about the reasons, goals and details of construction further.

In Russia, the construction of new submarines for the Northern Fleet has been launched. At the "Admiralty shipyards" it is planned to build 6 new diesel-electrical submarines of project 636.3 "Warsaw", which are also called "black holes".

Ships received such a nickname in Western media, thanks to the ability to move quietly. Thanks to electric motors, their sound when moving does not exceed 50 decibels (quieter noise of the sea). This allows you to detect a goal at a distance almost 4 times higher than the one on which you can detect the submarine itself.

“Warsaw” is already the third generation of diesel submarines. The model is based on the elements of project 877EKM "Paltus". In 1982, the supply of submarines to the countries of the Warsaw Treaty started, thanks to which the Warsaws and received the name.

At the moment, Finland and Sweden are only partners of the North Atlantic Alliance. However, the North European countries intend to join the Military Union in an accelerated manner. This can turn into a communication with the Kaliningrad region. In this case, Russia will be forced to create a land corridor to the region and revise the status of the Baltic Sea.

The actions of the North European countries force Russia to invest more in defense of the northern borders. After the report of Finland and Sweden about the desire to join the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty, an official statement was issued on the modernization of the Russian Northern Fleet.

In response to the actions of NATO, Russia began, including the construction of “black holes”. The submarines cause anxiety of the North Atlantic Alliance not only with impressive dimensions, but also the ability to remain unnoticed for the enemy’s defense. The purpose of these submarines is to ensure the safety of naval bases, to resist enemy ships and explore the situation on its territory.

Of the 28 objects of military infrastructure that will be upgraded, special attention is paid to the radical strengthening of radio reconnaissance. The combat potential will almost double due to the formation of a continuous radar field. In addition, 500 units of the latest military equipment are planned.

For this year, the launch of the second improved communication satellite Meridian-M was appointed. The device will be able to provide high -quality communication in the Arctic in the territory of more than 3 million m².

The construction of storage facilities and services for hypersonic missiles 3M22 Zircon in the Arctic is in full swing. During 2022, the carrier of the “Zircons” of Project 22350 “Admiral Golovko” will join the Northern Fleet. The frigate will be based in Severomorsk and join the main shock force of the Northern Fleet - 43 divisions of rocket ships.

And how do you think Russia will be able to modernize the Northern Fleet?
