The West is concerned about Russia's build-up of its nuclear submarine fleet.
The American weekly news magazine Newsweek reports that the Russian Federation is expecting new submarines to be delivered. This is causing concern in the United States and NATO countries. The publication cites the words of the general director of JSC Sevmash Mikhail Budnichenko, who reported the successful completion of tests of the newest nuclear submarine of Project 885M (Yasen-M) Arkhangelsk. Also, during the summer navigation period, tests of the nuclear submarine Knyaz Pozharsky were completed.
The Russian Navy has received more nuclear submarines of Projects 885 and 885M, including Novosibirsk, Severodvinsk, Krasnoyarsk and Kazan.
Journalists recalled the words of Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, who warned of the possibility of a direct conflict with NATO and that Russia should be prepared for any developments. In response, U.S. Defense Department spokesman Javan Rasnake said that America and NATO do not seek a military conflict with Russia.

Armed with Oniks and Kalibr-PL cruise missiles as their primary strike weapons, these submarines are an example of the cutting edge of Russia's naval power,— writes Newsweek.
