Normally I'd ask for a link but the pontlessness of this story is glaringly obvious.

It makes sense.

We launch a Titan II for the world to see and a short period of time later their plans for this nuke/sub "leak" out.

Sounds like a wiener measuring contest to me. Same old passive aggressive cold war BS.

It's just another petty competition.

The purpose being...to convince the rest of the world how depraved a weapon Russia can field?

why inhades would you want to seploy a drone armed with your nukes that is height of stupidity what happens when it goes haywire and you lose contact with it i imagine the drone is designed to surface so it can be retrieved now someone has a payload of found nukes they can sell orv use and also you made them so when thety get used now you going to be blamed

"Soviet power is a myth. Great show. There are no spare parts. Nothing is working, nothing, it's nothing but painted rust. But you, you need to keep the Russian myth alive to maintain your military industrial complex. Your system depends on Russian being perceived as a mortal threat. It's not a threat. It was never a threat. It will never be a threat. It's a rotted, bloated cow." - Valentin Mironov (The Good Shepherd (2006)

I'll believe it when I see it in western hands. It's as if Nikita Khrushchev is back from the dead and running the Kremlin. Why does everything have to be a pissing match?

Russia's insecurity will be it's downfall.
