Borei class is the most advanced Russian SSBN class with Yuri the first operational boomer and Alexander Nevsky at sea trials. 6 more are ordered and will replace Typhoon and Delta IV SSBNs.

Very nice. Good to see another sub on the forums.

Very nice, never seen that one before. How does it compare size wise with the Typhoon out of interest?

Thanks for the comments everyone!

hood, frakly I don't have a clue - maybe it has something to do with hydrodynamics or acoustics... or maybe it's just because from time to time, Russians do it opposite way :D

F-32: It's pretty much the same lengthwise but much narrower - Typhoon is much much fatter. However the improved Borei class (I think last 4 subs of this class) will have 4 additional launchers (20) which will make them the longest subs in history...

Can't believe the Typhoons are being replaced, Ifeel quite old :0)

Great build, I have plans for subs, need a reak from planes.

She's a real beauty. I wonder if Hobbyboss will treat us to a Typhoon or Delta?

IMHO the Delta is still more demand, at least Typhoon Dragon produces.

The equipment for measurement of physical fields, and other characteristics of the submarine, the so-called "fishing rod".

I assumed the metal work was a pier or something in the background that because of perspective seemd to be affixed to the sub...
