He is called one of the “horsemen of the nuclear apocalypse”, because on board there may be from 150 to 200 nuclear warheads.

The American nuclear submarine USS Rhode Island entered the Mediterranean Sea. It can carry 24 Trident II intercontinental missiles, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 18,000 kilometers at a speed of 29,000 km/h. This was reported by the US Naval Command in Europe and Africa, calling the appearance of this boat “a message to Putin.”

This boat is called one of the “horsemen of the nuclear apocalypse”, because it can carry from 150 to 200 nuclear warheads on board.

Since he has been able to walk underwater for months without being noticed, the decision to make him appear shows the willingness of the Americans to send a signal to the Kremlin.

It is believed that the destructive power demonstrated by this submarine should influence Russia and force it to abandon possible plans for a nuclear strike.

It is known that the USS Rhode Island arrived in Gibraltar (British Overseas Territory) on November 1st.

“USS Rhode Island’s visit to Gibraltar reinforces our strong commitment to our allies and partners in the region. The US and UK have a strong history of cooperation through training, operations and such collaborative measures that enhance our overall capabilities and partnership,” said Capt. John Craddock, commander of Task Force 69.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that any use of nuclear weapons by Moscow would have disastrous consequences for the Russian leader personally, as well as for Russia as a whole.
