Russia has deployed 11 nuclear submarines into the Atlantic Ocean.  Each submarine carries from 6  to16, and in some cases up to 32 missiles, each of which may hold from six to ten nuclear warheads.

This deployment means that a cautious estimate proves there are now around 1000 warheads on Russian submarines that __can__ be headed toward the US east coast, or perhaps the Gulf of Mexico.

This deployment comes just days after “Ukraine” (or more likely a NATO country) attacked and either damaged or destroyed TWO SEPARATE Russian Over-the-Horizon (OTH) nuclear missile warning radar stations in southern Russia.

When these stations were hit, the lack of radar coverage put a “hole” in Russia’s nuclear protection.  

When those radars were operational, Russia would have between 14 and 16 MINUTES advance warning that nuclear missiles were coming at their country.  Now that those radar are destroyed, if a submarine launched missile was fired from with the eastern Mediterranean  Sea, almost anywhere in the Red Sea, in the Gulf of Arabia or from south of the country of Somalia on the African continent, Russia will only have ten to twelve minutes warning, likely less.

In southern Russia, the destruction of the two radar stations means Russia can only detect inbound missiles when they are past the horizon; i.e. much closer to Russia.

Given the speed at which such missiles travel, that amount of warning is, frankly, too little, too late.

This compressed time frame no longer allows Russia to figure out what might be happening before they decide to launch a return strike.

The absence of time to think things through, might end up causing the Russians to launch their nuclear weapons in response to something coming at them.

Ukraine derived no military benefit whatsoever, from hitting those two radar stations. Neither one of them tracked anything over Ukraine. The only entities that derived any benefit from attacking those radar stations would be the U.S., NATO, and Israel.

Clearly, Russia believes this “blinding” of two over-the-horizon radar stations, is a prelude to a US/NATO nuclear first-strike upon Russia.  As such, they seem to be sending out their nuclear submarines in order they be in position to hit the US/NATO back, right away.
