Why Did Russia Build the Massive Typhoon Submarine #submarine #shorts #adventure #fact

Russia built the massive Typhoon-class submarine during the Cold War to enhance its strategic nuclear deterrence against the United States. The Typhoon is the largest submarine ever constructed, designed to carry 20 long-range ballistic missiles, each capable of delivering multiple nuclear warheads. Its immense size allowed it to endure long missions under Arctic ice, remain undetected, and launch a retaliatory strike even in the harshest conditions. Built for survivability and power, the Typhoon was intended to ensure Russia’s ability to maintain a second-strike capability, deterring any potential adversary from launching a first nuclear strike.
