“The Status-6, a nuclear powered, nuclear armed drone submarine, is the most irresponsible nuclear weapons program that Putin’s Russia has come up with,” said Schneider, now with the National Institute for Public Policy. Status-6 is designed to kill civilians by massive blast and fallout,” he said, noting that such targeting violates the law of armed conflict.
the weapon is a self-propelled underwater craft capable of carrying a nuclear warhead up to 6,200 miles. The vehicle can submerge to a depth of 3,280 feet and travel at speeds of up to 56 knots.
Status-6 will carry a multi-megaton thermonuclear bomb payload. (Hiroshima was 16, this will be over 2,000+)
Essentially it is a drone submarine that will get as close as possible to a coastal city or naval base and then explode. With an absolutely insane payload that will cause a giant tsunami and immense radiation damage for hundreds of miles.
Nah it's ok. Putin is the savior of the white race. He's saving it by blowing up California.

How exactly does one "test" this?
Colton Cooper
>targets are NY and Cali
Wew. I was almost worried for my country there.
Jaxson Smith
Interesting parts
- Nuclear powered, but also detonates a nuclear bomb. - Intense Radiation salting of the area around blast - Basically a "Dumb" weapon that is just meant to be as damaging as possible due to fears of MAD doctrine becoming obsolete. - Obviously based around fears of missile defenses as it is basically anti-missile in every way. Doesn't shoot anything and is just a suicidal drone. - Extremely irresponsible because it is a remote drone with no human in control. AKA mishaps can fuck shit up.
Gavin Long
They know how nukes explode already
Probably the drone delivery / pathfinding / sonar footprint, etc.
It's a doomsday type device used as insurance. Both countries have enough shit stockpiled to end humanity. This is just another "fuck your missile defense" weapon.
Austin Peterson
prayin for this to be real, delete CA now pls
Cameron Gomez
Just dont fuck with us and you're fine.
BTW Yellowstone is anoither priority target for nuking.
Nolan Clark
Russia has a very bad track record with nuclear navies. Like a list thats 4 dozen incidents long. Those were WITH human intervention.
Past that i could care less if they spend cash on stupid shit like this.
Justin Gutierrez
>It's a doomsday type device used as insurance. This It's named STATUS ffs
Jack Perez
>noting that such targeting violates the law of armed conflict. The burgers threw out those treaties out the window once they started to place ABM systems in Europe.
Get fucked.
Daniel Barnes
It's just another weapon of last resort, just modern version of T-15 torpedo from 60s.
We kinda paranoic about whole NATO shit around our borders, so we're developing systems like Status-6 or Perimeter. Just planetary scale "Samson Option". Nothing special, I suppose you all have that shit too.
Connor Torres
Soviet systems are rendered obsolete when we can teleport a nuke on top of Putin's head.
Liam Thomas
Waste of money on all sides.
Lincoln Ward
And then they deploy their doomsday weapon and fucks you to.
Congratulation, nobody wins.
Gavin Harris
It's cheaper to develop this type of stuff than a huge conventional deterrent.
Carson Rivera
fucjing DO IT SASHLIKBREATH
Evan Harris
russians being cunts.
Nothing new.
Owen Sanders
Weve done all the physical testing we need with nukes. Now its all computer simulated.
In the 50's 60's we blew nukes up all over the fucking place. Space. Underground, underwater, directly above soldiers heads.
Cameron Cook
Impressive and the idea of "law of armed conflict" sounds dumb. I get the history and shit behind it but whole holds back punches when they are in fear of their life?
Landon Cruz
Not a decade goes by during which Russia doesnt unveil "THE ULTIMATE SUPER WEAPON-NATO BTFO!" that then turns out to be mediocre at best.
Also many of these weapons systems are announced once and then never again mentioned. Or they remain nice CGI models that never went beyond being just that and will never be built.
pic very much related
Mason Perez
Putin telegraphed this build up pretty hard over worries of NATO having a working missile shield.
At least the visual/public side is that it would be too expensive or hard for russia to compete with America conventionally or with their own missile defense system. Hence having to resort to improving their offensive capability.
In the game theory side of this, developing Defense is more aggressive than developing more MAD capability.
Being able to destroy the world 4x or 5x isn't much of a difference. Being able to survive and neutralize an opponents ability to destroy the world is far more useful.
Adam Torres
There in lies the issue. US citizens think WW3 is impossible. RF - inevitable.
This is probably not the most insane doomsday weapon on the boards.
Adrian Wright
Who gives a fuck.
Zachary Smith
>not being interested in cool explosive weapons
Sebastian Butler
So vlad built a drone kaiten fitted with a nuclear warhead. That's pretty fucking cool.
John Edwards
There is no need for this weapon democrats are already in power there, they'll destroy California and New York in due time look at Detroit, Chicago, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia y Ecuador.
Connor Martin
>Extremely irresponsible because it is a remote drone with no human in control. AKA mishaps can fuck shit up. How is this more irresponsible than a missile?
Ryder Gray
depends
if it is just chilling in the ocean waiting for a signal to attack it can be much more dangerous
Jack Rodriguez
It's funny you should say that because yesterday I was speaking to someone from a company who work on world-leading security solutions like this. (The new Dreadnought-class Sub)
The guy says they built an unmanned jet capable of surveillance and weapons (Taranis) which was announced years ago but he admits it's working, but mediocre. It's down to the gov to buy something before they can 'actually' make it.
So yeah, it's weird how true your post is
Adrian James
it's launched from a submarine
Adam Lewis
My favourite part looking at it - it's not designed like a conventinal nuke. It's designed like a dirty nuke with load in megatons. Essencially rendering area of effect useless for the duration of the war, nevermind killing everyone trough a slow agonising radiation death.
Zachary Harris
excellent Smithers. Plz vaporize LA and the Bay, the rest of the leftards should fall in line after that.
Thanks, NorCal
Asher Lee
It's just a missile then
I'd imagined it as some device that just chills at the bottom of the ocean somewhere waiting for an attack signal.
I guess the same sort of attack signal could be sent to a submarine with people too and fool them.
Adam Moore
Soviets used to have the fractional orbit bombardment system, where they'd launch a nuke into orbit and it'd come down whenever. Although I think that had to be preset at launch, not a remote command. It couldn't be countered once deployed because shit goes really fast during re-entry.

>Status-6 will carry a multi-megaton thermonuclear bomb payload. (Hiroshima was 16, this will be over 2,000+)
That can't be right, Tsar Bomba was a mere 100MT
Fucking TWO THOUSAND MEGATONS?
Henry Perry
>Dead Hand (Russian: Cиcтeмa «Пepимeтp», Systema "Perimetr", GRAU Index 15E601, Cyrillic: 15Э601),[1] also known as Perimeter,[2] was a Cold-War-era nuclear-control system used by the Soviet Union.[3] General speculation from insiders alleges that the system remains in use in post-Soviet Russia.[4] An example of fail-deadly deterrence, it can automatically trigger the launch of the Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) if a nuclear strike is detected by seismic, light, radioactivity, and overpressure sensors.
Jacob Hill
>implying Hiroshima was 16 megatons
And these people used to be a world superpower.

Is there any model that can predict just how much devastation from detonating one of those near New York?
I mean I'm imagining tsunami waves reaching Western Europe, is that possible?
Connor Ortiz

Nolan Rogers
>this will be over 2,000+ I think if it would be over than 2000 megatons we can actually blow up it right in Moscow, because it will crack actually fucking Earth into two parts.

It's from Obama's speech, where he says that they're most power country n spends a lot of money on military n shiet.

with the submarine being the bomb they could keep making it bigger and bigger and not clean like tsar bomba

That was their "clean" test version, the production version would've used a DU tamper instead of lead and done the whole 100 MT from fast fission of the tamper.
