President Trump's announcement that he is moving two US nuclear-armed submarines "into appropriate position" over Russian remarks has been met with a Russian "yawn."

“Moscow rejects Trump's threat: Russia has more and better-armed submarines than the USA.  The number of Russian nuclear submarines in the world’s oceans is significantly higher than the American ones, and ours are better-armed" said Viktor Vodolatsky, a Member of the Russian State Duma, quoted by TASS.

Russia has many nuclear submarines in oceans, Trump's vessels under control — Duma deputy

Viktor Vodolatsky believes that it would be more logical for the US to continue its efforts in the current situation

MOSCOW, August 1. /TASS/. There are significantly more Russian nuclear submarines in the oceans than American ones, and the ships that US President Donald Trump ordered to be redirected "to the appropriate regions" have long been under control. Russia does not need to respond to the US leader's comment, Viktor Vodolatsky, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots, said.

Earlier on Friday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that he ordered the relocation of two US submarines allegedly because of statements by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. Trump claimed that Medvedev had made "extremely provocative statements."

"There are significantly more our [nuclear] submarines in the world's oceans, [and they] have the strongest, most powerful weapons. This is why, let [Trump's] two boats float, they have been at gunpoint for a long time," he told TASS.

"There can be no answer from us, because we understand perfectly well who Donald Trump is. These last months have shown that he is changing his mind 24 hours a day."

Vodolatsky believes that it would be more logical for the United States to continue its efforts in the current situation, including formation of Russian-American negotiating groups and visits of delegations to Russia and the United States.

"And the elaboration of a principal agreement that should be concluded between Russia and America so that the whole world calms down and stops talking about the outbreak of World War III," he added.

About the statements by Trump and Medvedev

On July 28, Medvedev wrote on the social network X that Trump, threatening the Russian Federation and announcing a reduction in the terms of the Ukrainian settlement, should not forget that any ultimatum becomes a step towards war. On July 31, he urged the American leader not to forget about the danger of the "dead." Thus, he commented on Trump's words about the Russian economy and criticism of himself in his telegram channel. "About the 'dead economy' of India and Russia and 'entering dangerous territory' - well, let him remember his favorite movies about the walking dead, as well as how dangerous a non-existent 'dead hand' can be," Medvedev wrote, putting a laughing smiley face.

During the Cold War, the Soviet Perimeter system was called the "dead Hand" in the West, which provided a guaranteed massive nuclear strike in the event of aggression against the USSR.

Earlier, Trump had spoken negatively about the economies of Russia and India on his Truth Social account, calling them "dead," and also criticized Medvedev.

Russian Submarines

Russia's navy operates a diverse range of submarines, including nuclear-powered and diesel-electric attack submarines, cruise missile submarines, and ballistic missile submarines. The fleet includes several classes such as the Akula, Victor, Sierra, Yasen, Borei, Delta, Oscar, Kilo, and others.

The Yasen-class submarines are among the most advanced, featuring quiet operations and long-range missile capabilities.  The Borei-class submarines are nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines, each carrying 16 Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles.  The Oscar-class submarines are cruise missile submarines designed to target U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.  The Kilo-class submarines are diesel-electric attack submarines, primarily used for operations closer to home.  Additionally, Russia has special mission submarines, including deep-diving midget submarines and the , a test platform for the Kanyon/Status-6 apocalypse torpedo.

Yasen-class submarines

The Yasen-class submarines are a series of nuclear-powered attack submarines designed by the Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau and built by Sevmash for the Russian Navy.

These submarines are part of Russia's efforts to modernize its naval fleet and replace older Soviet-era vessels. The Yasen class, also known as Project 885, was developed to serve as a multi-purpose platform capable of both hunter-killer roles and targeting enemies with vertical launch system (VLS)-launched cruise missiles. These are the submarines that Russia as placed on both the east and west coast of the United States. It was the Yasen-class submarine that surfaced near a US Naval ship and then disappeared in late 2024. The United States could not track the Yasen-class submarine even when using Sub-Hunter planes.

Yasen Submarine Near US Ship

A Yasen-class submarine has been detected near a US naval ship, highlighting the increasing presence of advanced Russian submarines in regions close to US interests. The Yasen class is considered the most advanced, powerful, and quiet attack submarine in Russia, with stealth capabilities that match the latest Western submarines.

These submarines are equipped with long-range cruise missiles, including the hypersonic 3M22 Zircon, which can overwhelm shipboard air defenses due to its high speed and maneuverability.  In recent months, Russian naval activities have included the deployment of Yasen-class submarines near US allies, such as Japan, and in the Atlantic, where a Yasen-M-class submarine was operating off the East Coast as part of missile drills.  The presence of these submarines near US naval assets underscores the growing strategic concerns for the US and NATO.
