Russia Reportedly Sending World’s Largest Submarine to the Baltic Sea

Russia’s gargantuan Typhoon class nuclear ballistic missile submarine Dmitry Donskoy—the last of its kind—is reportedly slated to travel from its home on the White Sea, around Norway and Denmark and into the increasingly tense confines of the Baltic Sea this Summer. Eventually it will end up in St. Petersburg to take part in a high-profile Navy parade on July 30th. Also said to be dispatched for the display is Russia’s only active Kirov class battlecruiser, the Pyotr Velikiy. These these huge vessels represent Russia’s most feared and destructive naval relics of the late Cold War, and if this reported plan proves to be accurate, the world will closely watch their voyage deep into the heart of NATO’s “swimming pool.”
