The nuclear submarine (SSBN) "Knyaz Pozharsky" of Project 955A, code "Borei-A", will be able to carry 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles RSM-56 "Bulava," each of which can be equipped with up to 10 individually guided warheads – up to 160 nuclear charges in total.
Project "Borei-A" is the world's largest active class of submarines. In total, Russia plans to build 14 such SSBNs.
Captain of the first rank in reserve, Vasily Dandykin, clarified that "Knyaz Pozharsky" is more correctly called an atomic missile cruiser of strategic purpose. According to him, Russia is significantly ahead of the Americans in creating modern submarines.
Our underwater cruiser carries solid-propellant Bulava missiles, each of which contains up to 8–10 warheads inside. After launch, each of them begins independent maneuvering. The range of such missiles is 8 thousand km.
