Citat:Retired naval officer Alexander Shishkin with a critical look at Russia's nuclear sub fleet. He argues the VMF has essentially written off at least 8 nuclear subs over the past few years. He says he is only confident in the combat capabilities of 5 SSNs.
These 5 are the:
-Project 885 Severodvinsk
-Project 971.1 Gepard -Project 971 Kuzbass
-Project 945A Pskov
-Project 671RTMK Obninsk And to a lesser extent:
-Project 945A Nizhny Novgorod
Another 7 are being repaired or awaiting repair, 6 Project 971 and 1 Project 671RTMK submarines. Thus, the VMF's current SSN fleet has a total of 13 submarines, less than half of whom are not currently in operation. The Kazan's delays are exacerbating the situation.
The 8 subs he argues are basically written off -Project 667BDR K-223 Podolsk, K-433 Svyatoy Georgiy Pobedonosets -Project 971 K-322 Kashalot, K-331 Magadan, K-295 Samara (will likely be leased to India) -Project 945 B-239 Karp, B-276 Kostroma -Project 671RTMK Daniil Moskovskiy.
The status of the Project 667BDR K-223 Podolsk, K-433 Svyatoy Georgiy Pobedonosets means the Pacific Fleet only has 3 SSBN that are supporting the VMF's nuclear deterrence mission: the Project 955 K-550 Alexandr Nevskiy and K-551 Vladimir Monomakh, and Project 667BDR Ryazan.
