In 2020, the Russian Navy adopted the main nuclear-powered submarine of the Borey - A project, the Knyaz Vladimir, armed with Bulava ballistic missiles with a modern complex of means to overcome missile defense. On Monday at the Board meeting, the defense Ministry said the head of Department Sergey Shoigu.
The submarine "Prince Vladimir "is the fourth in the series of 955 - x" Boreyev "and the first to be released in a modernized version with the letter "A". According to open sources, unlike the previous boats of the same project - "Yuri Dolgoruky", "Alexander Nevsky" and "Vladimir Monomakh" - this submarine has less noise, better maneuverability, increased ability to hold at depth and a more modern control system for onboard weapons.
The arsenal of the submarine itself is very impressive. In addition to six 533 mm torpedo tubes, it is also equipped with torpedo missiles and an anti-aircraft missile system. but the main striking force of the submarine, of course, is the sea "mace" - there are 16 of them on the boat. There have been reports in the media that each three-stage solid-fuel missile carries six individual targeting warheads. At a range of about 10 thousand kilometers, the Mace can hit a target with a likely deviation of only 120-350 meters from it. Given that the sea rocket is a carrier of a nuclear charge, this is quite a bit.
