Maybe she gets her complement of Bulava missiles

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.

Hey George, the Borei Class is roughly of the same size as the Ohio Class. So why does the Borei carry just 16 Bulava missiles whereas the Ohio can carry 24 Trident missiles?

Moscow. 16th of May. Interfax-AVN - Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) sea-based "Bulava" in the next two or three years will be upgraded under the nuclear submarine strategic improved Project 955-A, told the general designer of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology (MIT), Yuri Solomonov.
"In the next two to three years will be released next, a fourth body (nuclear submarine 955-A project" Prince Vladimir ") And in relation to this new generation of submarines and missile system." Bulava "will also be modernized," - said Yu Solomonov.
According to him, it will be a modernization, "which will increase the efficiency of this complex in relation to the possibility of operating as a part of modernized missile cruisers".
He recalled that the "Bulava" was created for 10-12 years. "And came the natural process of updating the design and technical solutions" - said Yu.Solomonov.
At the end of May 2012 the Russian Defense Ministry and defense companies have signed three contracts on upgraded strategic missile submarine 955-A project with power nuclear arms. With CDB for Marine Engineering "Rubin" signed a contract for the design of the head of the modernized "Boreas", now "Sevmash" - for its construction, with the United Shipbuilding Corporation - for the construction of four modernized production "Boreas".
P30 3M30 "Bulava" (RSM-56 - for use in international treaties, SS-NX-30 - according to NATO classification) - Russia's newest three-stage solid-fuel missile, designed for arming prospective nuclear-powered strategic missile project "Northwind".
The missile is capable of carrying multiple independently targetable hypersonic nuclear blocks. "Bulava" will be the basis of a promising group of Russia's strategic nuclear forces to 2040-2045 years
Hey George, the Borei Class is roughly of the same size as the Ohio Class. So why does the Borei carry just 16 Bulava missiles whereas the Ohio can carry 24 Trident missiles?

sooner or later AAD missiles will be installed on subs and I am not talking about MANPADs. Now question what will be first? cancellation of START-3 or need to install AAD complexes o Subs
Doesn't make sense to put air deffence onto nuclear subs.

S-500 has little to do with air defence... it is practically a mobile ABM system.
On an SSBN it could be used to interfere with the US satellite array to weaken it ahead of an attack...

Of course there are already widely deployed expendable sonarbuoys that can detect or help triangulate a submerged vessel... would not be that hard to develop a floating platform that could be released from submarine that surfaces after 10 minutes or an hour and has a 360 degree IFF system and IIR sensor package on board... any detected enemy anti sub helos would be real serious targets due to the threat they pose... and a medium range missile with Morfeis IIR seeker fitted would be a perfect match as it has lock on after launch capability, so the platform could detect multiple threats and several missiles are launched cued to turn to and acquire those targets after launch... while the sub itself goes deep and leaves the area.
You could even containerise the system and push it off a container ship at sea to be activated by satellite over head when a US carrier group passes through the area...
