General Glen VanHerck presented the terrifying news as the Senate Armed Services Committee listened in shock. The most modern and covert nuclear attack submarines from Russia may soon start operating in close proximity to the United States. The possibility of impending danger lurks throughout the next 24 months. The information provided by VanHerck has prompted us to raise our level of alertness and prudence as we prepare for what may turn out to be a catastrophic occurrence.
The General and Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa spoke extensively about the possible risks presented by cunning Russian and Chinese submarines, as well as strategies for avoiding them. A worrying surge in activity from Russian Yasen-class boats—which are armed with nuclear cruise missiles—was discovered by General VanHerck. It’s obvious that the stakes are high, but we can maintain our safety and the safety of our shores with careful planning and strategic thinking.

“[The risk is] absolutely increasing. Within the last year, Russia has also placed their [Yasens] in the Pacific,” he explained. “Now not only the Atlantic, but we also have them in the Pacific and it’s just a matter of time – probably a year or two – before that’s a persistent threat, 24 hours a day. … That impact has reduced decision space for a national senior leader in a time of crisis.”
A notable class of SSNs that are capable of doing many different tasks is the Yasen-class submarines. These are not just any regular submarines; instead, they are equipped with unique capabilities for taking on and defeating hostile ships and submarines, acquiring information, and supporting special missions.
“Russia has modernized their fleet of icebreakers,” he explained. “They’ve modernized their strategic defense along with their submarine forces. China is sailing into the Arctic under the guise of research [missions] and we know they’re doing military operations, surveying the seabed.”
Go into one of the most technologically advanced submarines in the world, and you’ll be surrounded by cutting-edge equipment. You’ll be equipped to handle any obstacle with a variety of sensors and weapon systems at your disposal, including torpedoes, cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles. Moreover, you will have the ability to launch cruise missiles vertically from virtually anyplace. Prepare yourself to explore the ocean’s depths in style with these amazing underwater tools.
The Severodvinsk, an amazing Yasen-class submarine, was first launched by the Russian Navy in 2014, and a number of others have followed. Modern technology has enabled these cutting-edge submarines to outperform their forerunners in every manner, making it nearly difficult to detect and track them. This fleet is a force to be reckoned with in the field of submarine warfare because to its sleek appearance and stealthy skills.
Meet General VanHerck, a four-star United States Air Force officer with a long list of accomplishments who occupies the distinguished position of commander of both the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NAADC) and the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) (NORAD). General VanHerck acquired his present position in August 2020 after years of dedicated service, a demonstrated history of leadership, and exemplary military planning. General VanHerck, a highly regarded soldier, is committed to ensuring the security of his nation and its people.
“We’re not organized, trained and equipped to operate and respond in the Arctic. Infrastructure is a big concern for me, whether that be runway links, whether that be buildings, whether that be weapons storage, whether that be fuel storage,” VanHerck said. “We need persistence that requires icebreakers. We as a nation are in bad shape regarding icebreakers, and I fully support the Coast Guard’s plan. We need to go faster.”
