The comments of Bulgarian readers to any information about Russia, and even more so about its military power, demonstrate a deep split in the society of this Balkan country. So an article about the modernization of the Russian submarine fleet caused diametrically opposite judgments - from "Russians are only able to stamp cans" to "the stronger Russia is, the safer it is to live in the world."
Despite the fact that the Russian submarine fleet consists mainly of obsolete, but still operating ships of the Soviet era, the modernization process is in full swing in Russia, without going into details, the "Facts" claim.
In 2026 and 2027, sEvmash will deliver two improved versions of the Borey-A 955A strategic nuclear submarines - Dmitry Donskoy and Prince Potemkin. Each of the boats will carry 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles "BULAVA".
The name of the first one - "Dmitry Donskoy" - in accordance with the naval tradition will be transferred from the previous nuclear-powered submarine, which, in turn, will remain in the fleet as a numbered submarine (TK-208) and will continue to perform the tasks of testing new weapons systems and equipment.
Dmitry Donskoy (TK-208) is the world's largest operational submarine, one of the oldest (commissioned in 1982). Most likely, it will remain in service until 2026.
It is planned that by the end of 2021, the Russian Navy will receive a nuclear-powered strategic missile cruiser "Prince Oleg" of project 955A "Borey-A".

Instead of repairing roads, they make tin cans.

Nothing to worry about! The weaker the USA and the stronger Russia, the safer it is to live in peace!

Those who are very happy about the combat power of Russia should not forget that we are on the other side of the barrier. Tomorrow they can turn this power against us. The Russians have repeatedly demonstrated their hatred for us. Don't expect mercy.
Bravo
Good news! And the good must have fists.
Haha haha ha
Do you remember their other pride? The Kursk nuclear submarine? Coffin, like all Russian equipment!

If the Russian submarine fleet is outdated, then the cowboy fleet is a relic!

Russia wants to make "youth" out of its "oldies" submarines. To do this, she will need the magic word "abracadabra" and water from India. And when that may happen... the Yankees will not be well! However, America has no sense of humor, this is a fact, it often takes everything too literally, which means that it will rush to overcome the imaginary lag from Muzhikistan quite seriously.
