-Both of these statistics are from newly launched or freshly commisioned Submarines. If the americans can go greater than 250M and the Russians cant go down to 450m, then someone is lying. which one is it? I'm only re-iterating the documentaries... can you supply more information please?
OK. Why don't we start from your sources. Can you provide them? We can start from there. But looking up US ASAT tests is very easy to google. The current US test, if successful would break a new trend for sure. That would mean we could forward deploy and have the capability to put BMD platforms in any ocean. And could modify missiles for the ASAT role if worse came to worse from anywhere in the world...at any time. As far as documentation that shows 250m depth's for US subs, I think it's officially "greater than 800 ft." That's "greater than". But like I said, we'll never know russia's or the USA's actual depth figures for their current subs.
