Russia: Strategic developments in Moscow
Russia’s New Borei-Class Ballistic Missile Nuclear Submarine Summed Up in 1 Word Russia’s Borei-class submarine has one job: hide under the Arctic and Pacific and fire back if Russia’s other nuclear forces have been struck. Each boat carries 16 RSM-56 Bulava missiles with an estimated range near 5,000 miles and runs on a pump-jet that cuts the cavitation noise a propeller makes. The first hull was laid down in 1996 and commissioned in 2013, after a canceled missile, funding gaps, and failed tests. Knyaz Pozharsky arrived in 2025 about a year late, with two more boats still building and a war in Ukraine competing for the funding.
