At a time when the global security climate is becoming increasingly tense, the Polish public is alarmed by the announcement that the Russian submarine “Knyaz Pozharsky” (Prince Pozharsky) is approaching its first major operational phase.
It is a submarine of the Borey-A class, the pinnacle of modern Russian naval engineering, which carries in its arsenal what is already called “doomsday missiles” in the West – as many as 16 Bulava intercontinental missiles.
According to information published by the Polish newspaper Dziennik, the Russian Navy is ready to further strengthen its North Sea fleet with this underwater giant.
And it’s not just another submarine – it’s a symbol of a new phase of Russian naval strategy. “Knyaz Pozharsky” uses the OK-650 nuclear reactor for propulsion, and its crew numbers about one hundred people.
The vessel is able to remain on mission for a long period of time, and what worries Western observers the most is the range and payload of its missiles.
