Russian submarine with 20 ICBMs and 200 nuclear warheads is sailing to Syria

The world’s largest submarine, the Dmitri Donskoy (TK-208), Nato-coded Typhoon, has set sail for the Mediterranean and is destined for the Syrian coast, debkafile reports exclusively from its military and intelligence sources. Aboard the sub are 20 Bulava (NATO-code SS-N-30) intercontinental ballistic missiles with an estimated up to 200 nuclear warheads. Each missile, with a reported range of 10,000km, carries 6-10 MIRV nuclear warheads.

The Russian sub set sail from its North Sea base on Sept. 4, escorted by two anti-sub warfare ships. Their arrival at destination in 10 days time will top up the new Russian military deployment in Syria.

President Vladimir Putin’s introduction of a nuclear force opposite Syrian shores builds up what first looked like an operation to fortify Assad’s regime in Damascus into a military expedition capable of an air and sea confrontation with US forces in the Middle East.

US Secretary of State John Kerry suggested as much Saturday, Sept. 5, when he expressed concern over reports of Russia’s “increasing military build-up in Syria” in a phone call to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The State Department reported: “The Secretary made clear that if such reports were accurate, these actions could further escalate the conflict, lead to greater loss of innocent life, increase refugee flows and risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL coalition operation in Syria.”

Kerry was referring to potential Russian interference with US-led coalition air strikes against the Islamic State in Syria.

debkafile’s sources in Washington and Moscow report that the dispatch of a nuclear sub to Syrian waters is taken as a strong message that the Kremlin will not let the US impede its military intervention in the Syrian conflict and will go to extreme lengths to keep the way open for the flow of Russian troops to the war-torn country.

This situation has gone a long way beyond Obama administration intentions when US-Russian talks were initially held for US forces posted in Turkey and Iraq, together with the Russian troops arriving in Syria, to launch a combined effort against the Islamic State. Those talks came to naught.
In its coming issue out Friday, Sept. 11, DEBKA Weekly 678 will reveal for the first time how Putin intends to array the Russian forces he is consigning to Syria, their operational planning, their military coordination with Iran and, above all, how the new Russian intervention in Syria may impact US Middle East policy and Israel.

This is good news for Assad and Syria's soverignty. Bad news for ISIS, if the US withdraws support. With the Russian's building their military presense there, and Obama's hesitation on escalating the conflict further, I can see ISIS finally being marooned and eradicated. But not before the fear of Islam sways some elections in the west. Keep your eye out.

At least Obama's willing to admit the mistakes his pentagon advisers made. War's being averted.

but but isn't the ISIS just america's second hand workers?

[WHL rocks]

Nothing new, Russia has had a naval base in Tartus Syria for over 4 decades.

[Lancaster]

Unlikely it'll be used. Just to deter any foreign nations from taking direct military actions towards them.

Chances are the Russians will be keeping those nukes under lock and key, probably withdrawing them once the situation in Syria has been solved.

[canuktravella]

i for one think thats a good thing russia should step up and eradicate isis no one in the un will do a thing to much red tape isis is just like nazis walking into poland i think any foreign fighters in syria should be shot when they try and come home they are terrorists

[canucksuberalles]

Well here we go. Check to you Obama et al. If true, considering all the disinfo, is gamesmanship by the Russians

I mean, they are there to help the west combat ISIS. That's if the west is actually targeting ISIS.

[Horvat]

"Deployed"

[MoneypuckOverlord]

It's funny how the West tries to reword and positions their words differently to try to pain them as the Villian. Hallelujah if Russian Troops actually engage ISIS. We all want that for the sake of humanity, since right now, no force can really take em on, the Kurds are doing a good job, but now Turkey is striking them. The Syrian Government forces although losing ground, is the next best option since it is still an organized army, but the West is supporting the "rebels"

True enemy is ISIS. They are the Desease.

I really hope the rumors of Russian troops being "deployed" in Syria are true, again for good intentions of them taking on the ISIS infidels.

[Mr. Ambien]

I bet Russia is laughing their asses off as reports of this will send even more refugees streaming into Europe.

[kurtis]

Russia needs to crush isis already

[Offensive Threat]

i think any foreign fighters in syria should be shot when they try and come home they are terrorists

Regardless of which side they were fighting on. Odd stance to take.

[Realtor Rod]

I think the US hates ISIS, but they hate the Assad regime just a little more. Russia has military contracts with Syria and all these things look real,real bad.

I don't think Syria or Russia care what the US thinks.

A smart government will not worry what the U.S thinks. Just look how what China is doing. They have Naval ships right outside of Alaska, and the U.S is crying about it. Their boats are actually in international waters.

But back on point, the U.S should be well aware, the country is much much much much worse under ISIS then under Assad.

The true enemy is the One Bank, the International Bank of Settlements, and all the tentacles that flow from it like the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bilderbergs, the 5 Eyes, etc.

ISIS are just a media hyped controlled opposition and proxy agent.

[TOMapleLaughs]

War sure has changed. Back in the day people would've been heading into their bunkers. Now it's 'meh.'

[Hobble]

Why nukes? Does anyone really expect them to nuke ISIS?

[Violator]

Why nukes? Does anyone really expect them to nuke ISIS?

When you got low yield nuclear missiles pointed at you there should be something inside of you that says you might need a new occupation.

[Heretic]

Only 200 Nuclear warheads?

LOL - just read this:

NATIONAL LEVELS OF ALERT - THREATS TO EUROPE
From JOHN CLEESE

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France 's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."

The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbour" and "Lose."

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels .

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia , meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, Mate." Two more escalation levels remain: "Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!" and "The barbie is cancelled." So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.
