Russian "Blue" against the American "Trident". Infographics

Sea-based missiles with Sinev nuclear warheads are in service with submarines of the Dolphin-class 667RBMD, in turn, the Americans have Trident missiles equipped with Ohio submarines.

In service with the Russian Navy less than a dozen submarines ...

doesn’t sound very good. maybe you should write "The Russian Navy is armed with enough submarines ..."?

[Mik13]

Again, some "analyst" thought of comparing a liquid rocket with a solid rocket?
Oh well...

[lance]

they will always be compared and defended their advantages.

[Mik13]

Then it is necessary to compare the totality of the tactical, technical and operational characteristics.
Because the rocket engine, in addition to the obvious advantages in the performance characteristics, has a huge number of disadvantages in operation. And the Blue product also has such a piquant feature as a wet start.

Quote: Mik13

besides, it also has such a piquant feature as a "wet start"

there is a plus in this when shooting in submerged condition ... especially when launching.
and Americans can’t afford it ...

you are familiar with blue. disadvantages of operating the studio

Trident 2 fuel is 75% solid.
The solid rocket propellant is used in the Trident-2 solid propellant rocket engine. Solid components — octogen, aluminum, and ammonium perchlorate — make up 75 percent of the fuel. As a binder, polyethylene glycol, nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin and hexadiisocyanate are used. The difference from Trident-1 fuel is the use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) instead of polyglycol adipate (PGA). This allowed to increase the percentage of solids from 70 to 75. The fuel was designated PEG / NG75. Joint Venture, the fuel producer, gave it the designation NEPE-75 [5] (from the English Nitrate Ester Plasticized Polyether - a polyester plasticized with nitric acid ester).
