It planned to be retired in 2019 as Borei class submarine take it’s place. ![]() Currently only Dmitry Donskoy, the first of her class is still operational as a platform for testing new weapons and sonars, exceeding its planned service life of 25 years. These missile allow this submarine to hit any target in the continental US within the Artic Circle. It is also equipped with six 533mm (21in) torpedo tubes and type 53 torpedoes.ħ of these submarine were to be built but only 6 of them completed between 1976 – 1986. The submarine main weaponry consist of 20 R-39 Rif (NATO: SS-N-20 Sturgeon) with 10 nuclear warhead in each missile and each warhead hold 100kt of blast yield. Under the ice these boats are much harder to track and to engage. The reinforced sail, advanced stern fin with horizontal hydroplane fitted aft of the screws and retractable bow hydroplanes allow the submarine to break easily through spots of thin ice within the Arctic ice shelf. The class was built specifically for operations with the Soviet Northern Fleet in the Arctic ice pack. It’s propulsion consist of two nuclear water reactor that produce 190 MW each and two 50,000 hp steam turbines that power the 2 shaft with 7-bladed shrouded screws. This submarine have a length of 175m, beam of 23m and draught of 12m. The Project 941 Akula or more widely known with it’s NATO naming, Typhoon was the biggest submarine ever built to date. After finish up a few backlog that have been sitting in the box for years (and there still more!) i decide to buy a kit to break up thinking about the looming backlog but easy to completed which where this kit come into play!
