Russia's Nerpa sub passes final trials

Russia's Nerpa nuclear attack submarine, damaged in a fatal accident during tests in November last year, has successfully passed final trials, a Pacific Fleet spokesman said on Monday.
On November 8, 2008, while the Nerpa was undergoing sea trials, its onboard fire suppression system activated, releasing a deadly gas into the sleeping quarters. Three crewmembers and 17 shipyard workers were killed. There were 208 people, 81 of them submariners, onboard the vessel at the time.
Following repairs, which cost an estimated 1.9 billion rubles ($65 million), the submarine has been cleared for final sea trials.
"A state commission has concluded that judging by the results of all trials, the Nerpa nuclear submarine is ready to enter service with the Russian Navy," the source said.
The submarine will be officially commissioned with the Russian Navy later on Monday in the town of Bolshoy Kamen in the Primorye Territory, home to the Amur shipyard Vostok repair facility which carried out the repairs.
The submarine will be subsequently leased to the Indian Navy under the name INS Chakra. India reportedly paid $650 million for a 10-year lease of the 12,000-ton K-152 Nerpa, an Akula II class nuclear-powered attack submarine.
Akula II class vessels are considered the quietest and deadliest of all Russian nuclear-powered attack submarines.

Putin urges US to share missile defense data

MOSCOW – Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that Russia wants the U.S. to share detailed data about its planned missile shield under a new arms control treaty, signaling potential new difficulties in the ongoing negotiations between Moscow and Washington.
Putin's televised remarks set a defiant tone as negotiators try to hammer out a successor to the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that expired on Dec. 5. The two countries had hoped to reach a deal before the end of the year, but problems persist.
Putin also said that Russia will build new weapons to offset the U.S. missile defense system.
The U.S. State Department rejected Putin's call, saying the START successor treaty would only deal with strategic offensive arms.
"While the United States has long agreed that there is a relationship between missile offense and defense, we believe the START follow-on agreement is not the appropriate vehicle for addressing it," spokesman Ian Kelly said in Washington.
"We have agreed to continue to discuss the topic of missile defense with Russia in a separate venue," he said.
Putin's comments showed that the former Russian president is continuing to shape Russian foreign policy, which under the constitution should be set by his successor, Dmitry Medvedev.
He said that the arms control talks were proceeding in a positive way and added that Medvedev and President Barack Obama will eventually decide whether to strike an arms deal.
But Putin warned that a missile defense system would give the U.S. an edge and could erode the deterrent value of Russia's nuclear forces.
"The problem is that our American partners are developing missile defenses, and we are not," Putin said.
"But the issues of missile defense and offensive weapons are closely interconnected. ... There could be a danger that having created an umbrella against offensive strike systems, our partners may come to feel completely safe. After the balance is broken, they will do whatever they want and grow more aggressive."
Obama removed a major irritant in relations earlier this year by scrapping the previous administration's plans to place interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar in the Czech Republic — deployments Russia treated as a threat.
The Kremlin has praised Obama for the decision, but Russian officials have also said they want to know more about the sea- and land-based systems the U.S. plans to put in place instead.
Putin said that Russia has no intention to build a missile shield of its own, but will have to develop new offensive weapons to offset a future U.S. missile defense.
"In order to preserve a balance while we aren't planning to build a missile defense of our own, as it's very expensive and its efficiency is not quite clear yet, we have to develop offensive strike systems," he said.
Putin added that the U.S. must share information about their missile defense plans if they want Russia to provide data on its new weapons.
"They should give us all the information about the missile defense, and we will be ready then to provide some information about offensive weapons," Putin said.

U.S. officials have said the negotiations to replace START have become hung up over Russia's opposition to retaining the ban on the encryption of missile flight data. The 1991 treaty banned such encryption so each side could monitor missile tests from a distance and determine whether the other side was developing missiles restricted by the treaty. Russia has little interest in monitoring such data because it is working to upgrade its missile arsenal, while the United States is not testing new missiles.

Russia needs new arms to counter US shield: Putin

Moscow: Russia must develop new offensive weapons to counter US missile defenses and prevent US policymakers from feeling they can "do whatever they want," Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.
"To preserve the balance, we must develop offensive weapons systems, not missile defence systems as the United States is doing," Putin said during a visit to the Russian Pacific port city of Vladivostok.
"The problems of missile defence and offensive arms are very closely linked," the powerful Russian prime minister said in comments broadcast on state television.
"By building such an umbrella over themselves our partners could feel themselves fully secure and will do whatever they want, which upsets the balance.
"Aggressiveness immediately increases in real politics and economics" in this situation, he added.
Putin's comments -- coming on the heels of a similar statement by President Dmitry Medvedev -- marked a toughening of Moscow's stance on strategic security ties with the United States.
The former Cold War foes are in talks on a successor to the now-expired START nuclear disarmament treaty.
They had hoped to complete a new pact by year's end, but the talks are still in progress and no new agreement is expected before next month at the earliest.
President Barack Obama announced last July plans to "reset" troubled US ties with Russia. Two months later, he cancelled plans to deploy elements of a new US missile shield in eastern Europe, near Russia's borders.
Moscow had fiercely opposed those plans, pushed by Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, and at first cautiously welcomed Washington's decision.
Obama however made clear US intentions to continue work on a new missile defence system elsewhere, and Putin's comments Tuesday marked the sharpest language heard from Moscow in some time on US missile defence plans.
Putin said Washington should share its missile defence plans with Moscow if it wanted to ease Russian alarm on the issue.
"Let the Americans hand over all their information on missile defence and we are ready to hand over all the information on offensive weapons systems," he said.
Medvedev earlier this month said Russia would continue to develop a new generation of nuclear missiles even as the START successor talks continued.
Moscow is asserting a right to build new strategic missiles and seeking concessions on this issue from US negotiators in disarmament talks in Geneva, defence analyst Alexander Konovalov said.
The Russian military wants to roll out new long-range missiles to compensate for terms in the old START treaty which it viewed as asymmetrical, favorable to the United States and still impacting the strategic balance today, he added.
Putin however said START negotiations were "developing positively."
His remarks bolster a view that Putin, who preceded Medvedev as president, still has considerable sway in shaping Russian foreign policy, a prerogative which under the constitution should be the purview of Medvedev.
"This is not his sphere, but Putin is showing he is not weaker than Medvedev," Konovalov added.
START, signed in 1991 just before the collapse of the USSR, led to deep cuts in the Russian and US nuclear arsenals but expired without a replacement on December 5.
Russia has long pushed for a link between offensive and defensive weapons in a new START treaty, and such language was part of a joint declaration on disarmament by Medvedev and Obama after their Moscow summit July.

Russia successfully tests long-range missile

its ageing weapons arsenal, but has been dogged by
persistent technical problems.

MOSCOW: Russia on Thursday successfully test launched a nuclear-capable missile that struck its target across the country in the Russian Far East, Russian news agencies said, citing the defence ministry.

‘Pre-launch operations, the launch and flight went strictly according to plan,’ a spokesman for Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, Colonel Vadim Konval, was quoted by Interfax as saying.

‘The test hit the intended target area on the Kamchatka peninsula with astounding accuracy,’ he said.

The RS-20V Voevoda intercontinental ballistic missile — known by the Nato codename Satan :)1761: LMAO) — launched at around 0630 GMT from Orenburg in the south Urals and hit its hypothetical target on the Kamchatka Peninsula, the spokesman said.

The test firing aimed to check the missile's flight and technical characteristics to extend the service life of the Voevoda-type systems up to 23 years, he told ITAR-TASS.

The land-based RS-20V missiles, developed in 1988, can be equipped with 10 individually targeted nuclear warheads and has a maximum 11,000 kilometres range.

Earlier this month, the latest test launch of Russia's new nuclear-capable Bulava missile failed over the White Sea, resulting in a mysterious plume of light that appeared in the sky over Norway on December 10.

The Bulava missile is central to Russia's plan to revamp its ageing weapons arsenal, but has been dogged by persistent technical problems.

Russia fleet may stay in Ukraine if Tymoshenko becomes president

Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko warned that in case Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko wins presidential elections this month the Russian Black Sea Fleet will remain in Ukraine's Crimea after 2017.
Russia's Black Sea Fleet uses a range of naval facilities in Ukraine's Crimea, including a base in Sevastopol, as part of a 1997 lease agreement valid until 2017.
"If Tymoshenko becomes the president of Ukraine than the Russian fleet will stay in Ukraine not until May 28, 2017 but for life," Yushchenko told a rally in the Lvov region of traditionally nationalist western Ukraine.
Party of Regions leader Viktor Yanukovych, most popular in the Russian-leaning east of Ukraine, is the frontrunner in the January 17 presidential elections, while Prime Minister Tymoshenko, an ally-turned-bitter-rival of Yushchenko, is expected to come second and force a runoff vote.
Yushchenko added that the presence of the Russian fleet in Ukraine will be "a destabilizing factor for the country."
Relations between Moscow and Kiev have deteriorated markedly during Yushchenko's presidency. Russian leaders have said they hope to establish constructive cooperation with the new Ukrainian president, ruling out any rapprochement with Yushchenko.

Russian warship to continue escorting vessels off Somalia

A Russian warship will escort a regular convoy of commercial vessels through pirate-infested waters off the Horn of Africa on Tuesday, a Navy spokesman said.
The Admiral Chabanenko destroyer from Russia's Northern Fleet, which is presently replenishing its supplies from the Lena tanker, began escorting commercial ships in the Gulf of Aden on December 4.
"The warship is expected to start escorting a regular convoy off the Horn of Africa on Tuesday," the spokesman said.
A Russian task force comprising the Admiral Chabanenko and a support ship arrived in the Gulf of Aden in late November 2009 to resume Russia's anti-piracy mission.
The Russian Navy has maintained a constant presence off the Horn of Africa, with each fleet dispatching warships on a rotational basis. Russia joined international anti-piracy efforts off the Somali coast in October 2008.
Somalia has been without an effective government since 1991.
The number of attacks by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden and off the east coast of Somalia exceeded 170, with more than 30 vessels hijacked and some 600 crew taken hostage in 2009.
