According to some, is significant not only for the crew of the submarine, but also for the Russian Navy in General, the event may occur in June. It is known that in October last year in the White sea “Prince Vladimir” divers carried out a test launch of an Intercontinental ballistic missile “Bulava” – it struck a conditional target on the Kamchatka Kura test site. The boat also passed the test firing torpedoes.
The submarine is the fourth in a series 955-x “Boreev” and the first to be released in a modified version with the letter A. According to the information from public sources, unlike the previous boats of the same project – “Yuri Dolgoruky”, “Alexander Nevsky”, “Vladimir Monomakh” – this submarine has less noise, better safety, increased ability to retain depth and a more modern control system on-Board weaponry.
the Arsenal of the submarine is very impressive. In addition to six torpedo tubes caliber 533 mm, it is also equipped with torpedo-missiles and anti-aircraft missile system. But the main striking power of the submarine, of course, the sea “Bulava” – their boat 16 pieces. In the media there have been reports that each three-stage solid-fuel missile carries six warheads of individual guidance. At the distance about 10 thousand kilometers, “Bulava” can hit a target with a likely deviation from it only 120-350 metres. Given that the sea rocket is a carrier of a nuclear warhead, it’s quite a bit.
