Overview Power of the Russian submarine fleet in 2012

Russian Navy had a fleet of 60 nuclear-powered submarines and diesel-electric. This sixty submarines including 10 nuclear-powered strategic submarines, over 30 nuclear-powered attack submarines, diesel-electric submarines and submarine special mission.
Submarine and Delta Delta-III-IV became the backbone of the Russian strategic submarine fleet. They each carry 16 ballistic missiles with multiple warheads, and advanced electronic features and noise reduction. 


Dmitry Donskoy submarine has been modernized to a test platform missile "Bulava" new Russia. Two other submarines, Arkhangelsk and the Severstal, remain a reserve at a naval base in Severodvinsk in northern Russia. They will most likely be modernized to carry new-generation sea-based cruise missiles to compensate for the Ohio-class U.S. submarine.
Russia has started testing Borey class strategic submarines first nuclear powered, which will be equipped with Bulava sea-based ballistic missiles. Submarine Yury Dolgoruky was built at the Sevmash plant in northern Russia.
Length of this submarine is 170 meters, has a hull diameter of 13 meters, 107 crew, including 55 officers, a maximum depth of 450 meters and a speed of about 29 knots submarine. The submarine can carry up to 16 ballistic missiles and torpedoes. Two Borey-class nuclear submarines, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh was completed in 2009 and 2011. Russia plans to build a total of eight submarines of this class in 2015.

 

Fleet of nuclear-powered attack submarine Russia consisted of Oscar II class submarine and Akula. Each of these submarines are equipped with 24 SS-N-19 Shipwreck long-range cruise missile anti-ship. An attack submarine of the fourth generation of nuclear-powered Graney class delivered to the Russian Navy in 2010. Severodvinsk submarines combine the ability to launch a variety of long-range cruise missiles (up to 3,100 miles) with nuclear warheads, and effectively can sink submarines and enemy surface warships.
Diesel-electric submarines in the Russian Navy Kilo class is represented by ships. They will be gradually replaced by Project 667 Lada class submarine. Sub features anti-sonar coating for the hull new, cruising diperjauh, and anti-ship weaponry and advanced anti-submarine, including missile system Club-S cruise. The first submarine of the Lada class, named St. Petersburg, is currently undergoing sea trials. 


Lada-class submarines are the second, Kronshtadt, is the first in series production, is also being built at the shipyard St. Petersburg Admiralty and has been operating in the year 2009. The third submarine, named Sevastopol launched in 2010. The source also said that the Russian Navy submarine also has a "special mission", some are designed for testing new technologies and weaponry. Several other open source before informing the diesel-electric submarine Project 20120 B-90 Sarov, which has a nuclear reactor to generate additional electricity.
Ship commissioned in 2007 and used by the Russian Northern Fleet as a spy vessel in northern waters.
