This is good news Viktor. Just one question. Will Borei & Yassen use the same nuclear reactor?

I have not seen any reliable data regarding torpedoes hitting the vessels that have fired them. Do you have any reliable information regarding these kind of situations?
There were a number of instances of US and German torpedoes hitting the submarine that fired them. Of course the US & Germany did not disclose the full information.
Be that as it may be here is a list of "circular runs" of torpedos

They can always make more SSGNs later but the priority is to ensure MAD... having 7 or 8 Yasens wont effect MAD.
you just need better standoff weapons and surveillance systems to defeat carriers. updated rorsats and scramjet anti-ship missiles are just that and they are working on them atm. an oscar 2 should be plenty for such a role too- not to mention probably most suited, since it has the greatest missile capacity apart from SSBNs.KomissarBojanchev wrote:
Meanwhile having more yasens will increase massively Russia's carrier killing capability, and if the US's carriers are sunk it's already lost the war. That way if the need arises Russia can defeat NATO without causing a nuclear holocaust. Yasen's are also far less vulnerable to enemy subs and can do far more types of missions(special force extraction, minelaying, etc.).
Russia is already insured for decades. Spending billions on a few more SSBNs won't change shit on the political decisions of the west. If only the funds allocated to the next 3 boreis were given to Rusnano and Roscosmos...Cyberspec wrote:SSBN's are an insurance policy being the hardest to detect.
Russian ones don't need to sail far to launch their missiles
What would've it been the problem with modernising the akulas to fire bulavas which would be much cheaper than building from scratch?GarryB wrote:Actually I would say the opposite... 8 Boreis were in the budget and while they are not cheap they will allow the retirement of rather less capable SSBNs.

what does that have to do with what I've said?

I wonder why Alexander III - what say feature of his rule was decisive so Borey will be named after him?
SEVERODVINSK, 18 Jul — RIA Novosti. CDB "ruby" is working on the modernization project of the nuclear submarine of strategic purpose "Northwind", similar research is conducted on the draft non-nuclear submarines "Lada", have informed on Friday to journalists the General Director of CDB "Rubin" Igor Vilinet.
"Today, when building the project "Borey-A", of course, the design office conducts relevant studies on the next series, we work closely with the research institutes of the Navy, and in accordance with the cycle of operation of ships planned this work," said Vilinet.
He added that by analogy with the modernization project "Borey" will be improved and non-nuclear submarines of project "Lada".
"Similarly, for non-nuclear fleet is now under-construction project "Lada", and the next a certain number of ships with improved properties will be based on, for example, the project "Lada", — said Vilinet.
