US military on high alert after China launches 'undetectable nuclear submarine' | Richard Spencer
Researchers at a Chinese university with strong military links claim to have invented a revolutionary laser propulsion system to drive high-speed submarines for the first time. Richard Spencer, China correspondent for the Times, discusses how this could impact China's relationship with the US and current situation in the Pacific.

The short version is that in order for a nuclear deterrent to be a deterrent, opposing forces have to know it exists. You cannot claim first strike or retaliatory nuclear capability without showing the weapon. This goes hand in hand with China expanding its nuclear arsenal, which they currently have at least 500 ground based nuclear silos (verified via satellite). I assure you that although you do not take this seriously, US defense and the rest of the world definitely does.

@@JeremiahBostwick The greatest potential use of this hypothesized technology would seem to be attack class subs whereby they take opponent subs/ships out of the water at will. In which case keeping it quiet would be the best strategy otherwise giving your opponent a "heads up" directly reduces the effectiveness as a weapon. But I imagine you can convince yourself of anything.

This is painful to listen to. Who thought this was presentable?
Just LISTENING to him is............. um...uhh...uhh...err .....um....uhh.... um... you know.....umm.....PAINFUL As for what little was mentioned about super cavitation, Russia once mentioned developing a torpedo that could move at over 100 MPH. It did not mention lasers. The concept was to blow air in front of the torpedo to reduce viscous drag (the torpedo would travel in an air bubble). As one might imagine, some experts said this would be EXTREMELY LOUD.
Subs aren’t only tracked by their engine vibration but by cavitation caused by disturbing the water. Can’t imagine how vaporising the water won’t be picked up in due course. Sonar

2:05 - “Using these….LASERS….” Seriously, if you’re using lasers to “vaporize” water, you’re going to leave substantial amounts of waste heat behind you. And turning nuclear heat into electricity to operate lasers in the first place requires moving parts, OR uses thermocouples, which are deeply inefficient. But I’m going to fake cough now, and say “T-14 Armata” while I’m doing it.
Undetectable? Yeah sure.
No sub is undetectable. We have been able to detect them very well since WW2
This sub is super special…it comes with fried rice, a soda, and an egg roll.
Sorry I can’t listen to this guy.
The poor guy has absolutely no clue about any of the things he's talking about, it's almost fascinating.
Dont you want to avoid cavitation to avoid detection?
Did they strap John Cena to the periscope
Aren't all SSBNs virtually undetectable?
When a sub gets below the thermal level it becomes more difficult to detect however if you place microphones below that level then any sounds are still detectable. This is why during the Cold War our submarines would sit silent outside the Russian ports and listen to the individual signature sound waves created by any vessel as it passes through the water.
so it's not laser propulsion, it's laser masking.
Isn't there a way of using magnetic waves to detect anomalies..? Why are we still using sonar..?
No. US Navy is Not on high alert . Lies
Why is that,the sound on your videos are too low.As the only blog.I have to use headphones

Nothing is undetectable. It just might be very difficult to detect, or we might not yet have the means to detect it. But everything that exists must interact somehow with other things and at the very least those interactions can be detected.

Well china gets a lot of its military tech from US and other actors by any means necessary. So my conspiracy theory is they announce they have made advances in a area and then we throw funds at research to try and stay in the game in case it is true and then china gets our research to help develop its own. I remember learning about cavitation a long time ago while using Nitrous on my car. I could be totally wrong I am getting old but i remember it explained to me as a subs propeller spins it creates a little vacuum bubbles behind it where it cuts through the water which creates tiny little explosions as the vacuum bubbles behind it pop as it fills back up with water which creates noise that subs are listening for. If my memory is correct then impressive that cavitation with lasers becomes silent.
Ehm em em. Are you counting your words before speaking
Truly?
Feasible, except going to be loud.
Anyone talked to Ramius yet?
Laser propulsion, lol, ok.
Russia has a better idea...An extremely fast undetectable nuclear underwater torbedo that can travel thousands of miles and launched from anywhere. This torpeda can take the whole of the East coast of the USA out. War is MADness led by madmen.
Awesome. The Chinese bots haven't invaded this realm, yet
If Its a submarine, we (the US Navy) can detect it. End of story.
Oh dear, What does this technology do to the marine life in the sea? This could be worse than what jet engines do to the atmosphere. The sky is virtually empty of significant life forms five miles up.
7:46 - that is an interesting insight, it is a deterrent after all
Hahaha... Like their imaginary hypersonic missiles
Clinton, both Bush's but thought China would liberalize like Tawain, following the path of capitalism because capitalism can do no wrong. No one anticipated that Capitalism with Chinese characteristics really meant the state owns everything despite any pervious laws, agreements or treaties.

Really as per a previous comment B S
Deter from what? Undectable subs are a first strike weapon. They don't deter anyone except nuclear forces and nukes are a defensive weapon. So China has a first strike weapon that can only be used as a follow up strike. Sounds like a contradiction.

So it's a second strike weapon. They are made to withstand a first strike, that's the deterrence.
The Chinese haven’t invented anything since fireworks and gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty (850 A.D.) So the probability that Chinese engineers have developed a new silent underwater propulsion system (without back engineering it) is exactly ZERO.
