At the same time, it is clarified that the Tiger nuclear submarine is undergoing repairs with the restoration of technical readiness, the modernization of the submarine, following the example of similar nuclear submarines Leopard and Wolf, which are also under repair, is not yet envisaged, although at the beginning of 2020 some media outlets stated that the modernization will affect not only the on-board systems, but also the weapons of the submarine.

    It is a pity that there will be no upgrades, this is a series of improved boats, they need to be kept.

        "Nerpa" is engaged in HTG. You need to send for modernization to "Zvezdochka".

    It is surprising that Project 945 (A), they do not want to modernize, because these are practically eternal boats, and there are 4 of them! Titanium boats are less noticeable, and in terms of armament and acoustic signature they are not inferior to the 971 project.

    seamanChF (Sergey), dear, titanium is brewed a little worse than steels, rubber is glued to it a little bit differently from hull steel, which means that people need to be taught "Zvezdochka" for these orders, or they should be lured for a month from SEVMASH - one and a half.

      I do not think that everything is so cretal, the boats are worth prolonging their life, especially the 945A are the most beautiful in my opinion.

      rubber sticks to it a little bit wrong

      The rubber is glued to the lightweight body, if I'm not mistaken. There is a strong case made of titanium. And the Pike-B boats are suitable and very necessary, they should still serve.

    Garris199 (Igor), dear, rubber is one of the elements to reduce the noise and visibility of the boat, therefore they glue it wherever the designer has thought up, on hulls, in tanks, etc. etc.
