Is Borei Russian for waste of time and money?

Is Ohio English for the same? --82.147.64.113 02:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

What I meant was aren’t SSBN's a little obsolete now and no F-22 is.

What on earth are you blabbering about?

Why can't we retire all nuclear weapons? Buckshot06 21:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Because some people will always want to fight and it's a good thing to be prepared to fight back. The world today is a far more dangerous place than it was ten years ago, so it's hardly surprising that the Russians should want to modernise their military as a result.

[edit] Yury Dolgoruky submarine to be launched this week

- Ivanov

MOSCOW. April 9 [2007] (Interfax-AVN) - The Yury Dolgoruky strategic ballistic missile submarine will be launched in Severodvinsk on Sunday, First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov said at a Monday meeting of government members chaired by President Vladimir Putin.

Four submarines of the class will be built, Ivanov said.

The construction of two similar submarines, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh, has already begun.

Ivanov said he will attend the Yury Dolgoruky's launching.

"This is the first time in seventeen years that we have built such a submarine. It will take another year to equip and arm," he said.

The Yury Dolgoruky sub, the first in the Borei 955 production series, will be launched from the Sevmash shipyard.

"Strategic nuclear forces are the priority of the Russian Navy, and the Yury Dolgoruky sub is the key link in this chain," Navy Commander Admiral Vladimir Masorin told Interfax-AVN.

The new subs will be armed with new Bulava-M ballistic missiles.

[edit] Mockup picture

Do we really need this obsolete picture? The complete images weren't published yet, but from the ones that were released is't obvious that real "Borei" looks nothing like the mockup. It has a pumpjet, not ordinary screw, there's no hump for missiles, but instead a prominent deck is in the forward section and so on. --Khathi 16:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
