Russian "Borei"-class submarines are a significant achievement in the development of nuclear submarine technology. They are equipped with the "Irtysh-Amphora-B-055" sonar system, which surpasses the sonar capabilities of the US Navy's "Ohio" and "Virginia" class submarines. This was written by The National Interest expert Brandon Weichert in the article "Borei Class: Russia's New Submarine Could Be the Most Dangerous on Earth."
"Borei"-class submarines can carry up to 20 Bulava SLBMs, as well as anti-ship missiles. The submarines have a pump-jet propulsion system and an OK-650 reactor.
Brandon Weichert emphasized that Russia may have the best nuclear submarine in the world.
