The first Borey-B type submarine will be handed over to the Russian Navy in 2026
According to the source, the Borey-B will receive the hull of its predecessor, but thanks to the installation of a new jet propulsion unit, its noise level will be significantly reduced. “Other innovations will be added to the submarine,” he added.
Serial construction of "Boreev-B" will begin with 2023 year, said the source. The series, according to his data, will consist of at least four units.
Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, 17, announced in November in Severodvinsk that the construction time of the Borey-B nuclear submarines will become clear after the draft design of these ships is completed.
Now the Russian Navy consists of three strategic nuclear submarines of the Borey type (project 955) - Yuri Dolgoruky, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh. They are equipped with solid-state intercontinental ballistic missiles "Bulava", each submarine capable of carrying up to 16 such missiles. Another five nuclear submarines of the type "Borey-A" are now under construction. The last ship of this series, "Prince Pozharsky", was laid in December last year.
Earlier, the general director of TsDB Rubin, who developed Borei, Igor Vilnit, said that the project will be further developed after a series of improved Borey-A submarines.
