The threat of Ohio and Virginia: The Russian Federation boasted a new waterlocker for Submarin "Borei"

The Irtysh-Amph-B-055 hydraulic system is allegedly able to accompany at least 30 underwater purposes at the same time. According to Russian propagandists, the complex should exceed the same by range by 100 km. In the face of aggravation of confrontation between the US and Western countries, Russia is working on the modernization of the underwater fleet. In particular, the submarines of the project 955 "Borei" can pose a serious threat to the American submarines of the class Ohio and Virginia.

On November 16, it was written in Bulgarian Military. It is reported that the danger of American strategic submarines is that Russian submarines are equipped with a modern hydroacoustic system "Irtysh-Amphora-B-055". According to Russian propagandists, this hydraulic locker allegedly allows to "hear" the enemy ships at a distance of one and a half times larger than similar systems of the most perfect American atomic submarine of Virginia and Ohio.

More precisely, the new hydroacoustic complex can be accompanied by at least 30 underwater targets and exceeds analogues by 100 km. "Irtysh-Amphor-B-055 on the Borei submarine has multifunctional capabilities, allowing at least 30 underwater purposes to track simultaneously," said Russian "Military Expert" Viktor Murakhovsky.

Meanwhile, it is quite possible that in addition to detecting submarines of the enemy, torpedo and minefields, this system plays an important role in Arctic operations, allowing to evaluate the thickness of ice and identify landfills for floating or dropping missiles, Western reviewers write. Despite the characteristics of the hydroacoustic complex declared by Russian propagandists, the fact that the Russian underwater fleet has six submarines of Bori class.

Currently, the Navy of Russia is submarines of the projects 955 and 955a: "Yuri Dolgoruky", "Alexander Nevsky" and "Vladimir Monomakh" Project 955, as well as "Prince Vladimir", "Prince Oleg" and "Generalalisimus Suvorov". At the same time, "Sevmash" builds three more ships of the project 955a: "Prince of Pozharsky", "Dmitry Don" and "Prince of Tremkin".

In addition, the new nuclear submarine "Emperor Alexander III", which is currently undergoing a test, should include the Pacific Fleet by the end of 2024. These submarines are the most important factor in strengthening the naval potential of Russia, summarized the observers. Earlier it was reported that the US naval forces plan to put on two percussion atomic submarines, after plans for these works have been disrupted this year.
