The Pentagon says that Russian President Vladimir Putin's warships and nuclear-powered attack submarine operating off the coast of Florida are not a threat. The Pentagon had better revise its threat assessment criteria.
Three weeks ago, a Russian flotilla of warships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, operated less than 30 miles off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, a development that the Pentagon dismissed as posing 'no threat.' Really? As a former senior intelligence analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency , my expertise is on Russian war-fighting strategy and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s mindset.
The Kazan, a Yasen-M-class guided missile submarine, carried guided missiles with a range of 1,000 nautical miles. Admiral Gorshkov is capable of executing long-range strikes and conducting anti-submarine warfare. These naval assets, which field a variety of anti-ship and land attack weapons, were testing anti-ship missiles virtually in the Atlantic against targets at a range of more than 350 miles.
In the meantime, Putin has a plan on how to fight and win the war with the United States. We don’t. Not only does the Pentagon have no plan, it didn’t bother to develop a capability, such as hypersonics, to match Russia’s or China’s, despite billions of U.S. taxpayers’ funds poured into its budget, annually. Instead, it’s throwing billions into the unwinnable war in Ukraine and redirecting military hardware designated for Israel and NATO allies.
