Strategic nuclear submarines of Russia are capable of going under the ice of the Arctic Ocean and «disappearing from radars». This is a direct military advantage of the country, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to him, research in this area is very important for the Russian side.
Our strategic nuclear submarines travel under the ice of the Arctic Ocean and disappear from radars. And this is our military advantage.
The head of state recalled that the most acceptable route for ships lies precisely in the special economic zone of the Russian Federation or Russian territorial waters.
And, of course, it would be simply foolish of us not to develop the Northern Sea Route, since very many countries in the world are interested in its use.
The president concluded that the time for transporting goods from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean is reduced many times over through the Arctic.
