The strategic submarine missile cruiser "Yuri Dolgoruky" (955 "Borey" project) was developed at the Central Design Bureau of the Rubin marine technology center (St. Petersburg) and is considered to be the leading four-generation submarine missile carrier. It was founded on the Sevmash enterprise on November 2 1996 of the year and at the same time received the name Yuri Dolgoruky. With a length of about 170 meters, a width of 13,5 meters and a total displacement of 24 thousand tons, the cruiser should adopt the 12 Bulava-30 missiles, which is being developed by the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering.
Missiles of this type can carry up to ten nuclear self-targeting units with improved missile defense performance. The range of "Bulava" - 8 thousands of kilometers. In addition to ballistic missiles, the submarine is equipped with torpedo tubes.
The nuclear power plant, which sets in motion one propeller, will allow to reach speed in surface position to 15, and in subsea - to 29 units.
