New Russian nuclear submarines could pose a critical threat to the United States.
Thanks to the latest weapons, the underwater threat to Washington remains.
American Naval College professor Michael Peterson told Newsweek that the main threat to the country is the presence of Severodvinsk-class nuclear submarines off the American coast.
Nuclear-powered submarines are a serious threat to the US Navy, Peterson notes.
The specialist points out that Russian nuclear submarines are designed according to the latest standards.
In recent years, they have begun to be spotted off the coast of the United States, including European countries.
It was previously reported that Russia has launched a series of submarines that are capable of reaching critical targets in Europe and the United States.
NATO representatives express concern about the Russian submarine fleet.
The professor said: “China has a larger and more capable navy in terms of waging war over water and in the air.”
He noted that beneath the surface, Russia poses a critical challenge.
