Ballistic missile submarine

Russian Defense MinistryWATCH Russian Submarine Fire a Missile Salvo From Sea Depths For the First TimeFirst introduced in 2007, the Borey-class ballistic missile submarines are Russia's first to be constructed since the end of the Cold War. While the 24,000-ton Borey-class subs are dwarfed by their big brother, the 48,000-ton Typhoon-class submarine Dmitri Donskoi, they can still carry 16 Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles each, making them a potent part of Moscow's nuclear triad. © Flickr/ U.S. Pacific FleetUS Navy Sinks $1.5 Billion Into Attack Subs That Don’t MoveThe subs will be built in the northern city of Severodvinsk, where the Sevmash shipbuilding company's shipyards are located, beginning in 2024, according to Defense 360.

In 2016, China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) announced that it had tested a quantum radar with a range of around 62 miles, or 100 kilometers — roughly five times further than the range of its US and German competitors, Popular Science reported. The next generation of the radar will be capable of tracking ballistic missiles in outer space and aircraft flying at extremely high altitudes, the South China Morning Post reported Friday. By mounting a quantum radar onto a near-space vehicle, China's air force could "effectively monitor high-speed flying objects in the upper atmosphere and above," CETC said at an industry exhibition in Nanjing, SCMP added. © Photo : РКЦRussian Creator of Largest Quantum Computer Predicts How Technology Will Change the World The quantum system developed by China is meant to track stealthy US aircraft, according to the SCMP story, which … [Read more...] about China Working Toward Next-Gen Quantum Radar to Track Ballistic Missiles
