What are the nuclear submarines of Russia's fourth generation

Not long ago, the U.S. Department of defense made a statement that in the case of non-nuclear global conflict, the Navy will be able to detect and neutralize all nuclear submarines of Russia in the next 15-20 days. Leaving out the political meaning of this statement and hypothetical situation, should pay attention to the time allotted for this task. To lead in combat as a rocket requires a disproportionately less time, measured in minutes, therefore, reasoning about the capabilities of the US NAVY was merely theoretical.

The Entire submarine fleet of the Russian Federation on the date (according to published data) consists of about six dozen units of military equipment of different capacity, function and type of the power plant. Since the service life of ships is measured in decades, most of them were built in the Soviet years.

The Basis of the defense of our country is the nuclear triad, it consists of the strategic missile forces, long-range bomber aircraft and nuclear submarines of Russia. This division is conditional, ballistic missiles based on ships, and carriers launched aircraft.

A Critical role in the marine strategies are to play Northern and Pacific fleets. This is due to their virtually unlimited output in any area of the world ocean. In their composition are all the submarines of project 667, which is the basis of sea strategic nuclear forces of the Russian Federation.

The Nuclear submarines of Russia are divided by their purpose into:

• Ballistic missile delivery vehicles (15 items);
• Cruise missile platforms (9 PCs.);
• Native speakers of torpedoes with spectracom (12 PCs);
• Special PL (7 pieces).

Alert carry underwater “Shark” (D. 941) - world's largest submarines.

New nuclear submarine Russia «Yury Dolgoruky» (D. «Borey», № 955 displacement of 24 thousand tons) is equipped with the most modern missiles «Mace-M" and upgraded “Dmitry Donskoy”. Both ships become the core of the series. So, the Premier League «Vladimir Monomakh», «Alexander Nevsky" and five more ships of the project 955 is planned to be introduced in the Northern fleet in the next couple of years. The main feature of this series in its malosolenoj antihidrotics and special coatings, very difficult to detect sonar.

Modern nuclear submarines of Russia presented the project «Ash» (855). The first of the five, «Severodvinsk», founded in 1993, has a displacement of 14 tons Speed 31 knots under water (submarines move faster in submerged position). The main weapon of ships of this project – a fast missile-torpedo.

Today, the main force of the submarine fleet are the boats of the project “Shark” (D. 941), “Squid” (D. 667 BDR), “Dolphin" (D. 667 BDRM), "Antaeus" (PR. 949A) and “Pike-B" (PR. 971). The rumors spread by NATO officials that they are easy to find, somewhat exaggerated. Sometimes they emerge especially in the areas of anti-submarine exercises of the North Atlantic fleets to demonstrate their ability to provide stealth.

However, the change of this Soviet technology in the next decade will come from new nuclear submarines of Russia's fourth generation class «Ash» and «Borey». An update is imminent.
