‼️‼️🇺🇸🇨🇳 BIG NEWS - The multi-purpose submarine "Cheyenne" underwent a major overhaul with a reload of the active zone as part of a resource extension program On December 26th, at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (Maine, USA), the major overhaul with a reload of the active zone was completed on the nuclear submarine "Cheyenne" (USS Cheyenne, SSN-773), a Los Angeles-class submarine, which became the first submarine to undergo this procedure as part of the Safety of Life Extension Program (SLEP). 🔷The work included replacing the nuclear fuel, modernizing the AN/BYG-1 combat information system and the AN/BQQ-10 hydroacoustic complex, updating the power plant, living compartments, and life support systems, which will allow the submarine to be operated for over 44 years. 🔵The measures are aimed at temporarily addressing the shortage of attack submarines in the US Navy amid delays in the construction of Virginia-class submarines and the strengthening of the Chinese Navy's submarine forces.

🚨Important | The advanced Chinese-made "Hangour" nuclear submarine arrives in Karachi. A significant maritime development that adds to the regional arms race. The new submarine marks a quantum leap in Pakistan’s naval capabilities and solidifies defense cooperation with Beijing. From a broader perspective, this is a move that shifts the balance of power in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The arrival of the "Hangour" coincides with Egyptian-Turkish exercises on the other side of the region. The picture quietly comes into focus: countries in the region are rebuilding their capabilities and alliances away from the media spotlight.🇵🇰🇨🇳💪

🇺🇸🚀"U.S. TEST FIRES 130,000-POUND NUCLEAR MISSILE" The U.S. Navy has officially confirmed the successful execution of four unarmed test flights of the Trident II D5 Life Extension missile as part of its Strategic Systems Programs. These tests occurred between September 17 and 21, 2025, from an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine off the east coast of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean. The sea-based leg of the nuclear triad provides stealth, mobility, and assured second-strike capability, a cornerstone of allied nuclear strategy for more than four decades.

🚨BREAKING: RUSSIA TESTS MASSIVE RETALIORY NUCLEAR STRIKE Russia says to have successfully tested its ability to deliver a massive retaliatory nuclear strike by land, sea and air. The test launch of missiles was from a land-based silo, a nuclear submarine, and from long-range bomber aircraft. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu called it a rehearsal for "a massive nuclear strike" in response to an aggressor's nuclear attack.

‼️☢️ 🇺🇸 Footage of a U.S. Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine entering Gibraltar today. One of America’s most powerful nuclear platforms just moved through one of the world’s most strategic chokepoints. Powered by nuclear reactors and capable of staying underwater for months, the Ohio-class carries Trident II ballistic missiles with global strike reach. Each submarine can launch devastating nuclear payloads from deep beneath the ocean while remaining extremely difficult to detect. Silent. Heavily armed. And impossible to ignore.

First Combat Use of Underwater Kamikaze Drones: Russian Kilo class Submarine Disabled in Novorossiysk The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has carried out a special operation in the port of Novorossiysk, marking the first-ever combat use of underwater kamikaze drones. During the operation, SBU-operated Sub Sea Baby underwater drones struck a Russian Navy Project 636.3 submarine (Varshavyanka class; NATO designation: Kilo). The explosion caused critical damage, effectively disabling the vessel. The submarine was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used by Russia for strikes against Ukrainian territory. The operation was conducted jointly by the SBU’s 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence and the Ukrainian Navy. A Varshavyanka-class submarine is estimated to cost around USD 400 million. Due to international sanctions, building a comparable submarine today could cost up to USD 500 million. This class is also known as the “Black Hole” because of its low acoustic signature and reduced sonar visibility. The submarine had been stationed in Novorossiysk after earlier Sea Baby surface-drone operations forced Russian naval assets to leave Sevastopol Bay in temporarily occupied Crimea.

IRIS Dena was a ~1,500-ton Moudge-class frigate & let’s be clear about capabilities. This was a lightly equipped surface combatant with basic hull-mounted sonar, no towed array, limited ASW envelope, and certainly not designed to counter a modern nuclear attack submarine operating at advantage. If a Virginia-class submarine is engaging from telescopic depth and decides to launch a torpedo, the engagement is already asymmetric. The surface ship is reacting late if at all. The video shows no visible defensive manoeuvres, no hard turns, no decoy deployment which strongly suggests the crew was not expecting an engagement. Sinking a ship that is afloat, unaware, and technologically outmatched is not some extraordinary feat of naval brilliance. It is what happens when one side controls the underwater battlespace and the other lacks layered anti-submarine warfare capability. Claims of dramatic “first hit” superiority sound impressive but to anyone who understands naval warfare, this was a mismatch from the start.

There is a lot of confusion right now about the sinking of the Iranian warship IRIS Dena and the role of the United States submarine in this incident. So let’s understand what most likely happened. First, the attack took place in international waters near Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean. Second, the submarine involved was most likely a US nuclear powered attack submarine already operating somewhere in the Indian Ocean region. Many analysts believe it could have been operating from the broader operational area around Diego Garcia, a strategic military base used by the United States and the United Kingdom in the Indian Ocean. Unlike conventional submarines, nuclear submarines can stay underwater for months, because they do not need to surface for fuel. The only real limitation is food and crew endurance. So the submarine could easily remain in the region, quietly tracking naval movements. Now here is the timing part. The Iranian warship IRIS Dena had recently visited Visakhapatnam in India to participate in a multinational naval event hosted by the Indian Navy. After the exercise ended, the ship left Indian waters and began sailing west toward the Arabian Sea. If the submarine was tracking it, the most logical moment to strike would be after the ship left the exercise area and entered open international waters. That is when the torpedo strike reportedly happened near Sri Lanka. Now the next question people are asking is whether this was legal. Under the law of naval warfare, if two countries are in an armed conflict, a military vessel of the opposing side becomes a legitimate military target. Warships can be attacked even in international waters. In this case, the target was not a civilian vessel. It was a military warship of the Iranian navy. So from a naval warfare perspective, this kind of strike is generally considered permissible during active hostilities.
