Russia Floats Out First Yasen-M-Class Nuclear Submarine

[Itachi]

@vostok Is there any increase in weapons load in yasen-m?

 

[Dante80]

Don't really know how the Kh-101 missile made its appearance in there, but it is almost definitely false (as it's an air-launched missile). My understanding is that Yansen would/could probably field a version of the S-10 Granat (based on the RK-55), unless they have been completely replaced with a variant of the Kalibr-M (which would make more sense).

"Biggest & Baddest" in submarine terms leads you to a faster death....mission accomplishment depends on stealth.

Russians don't care that much about stealth. Yasen is used for bombing Qaeda.

Mane upgrades are in EW systems.

Is this sarcasm that I detect??

Why would anyone use a multi-million dollar sub to hunt terrorists??

Is the below true?

and what about torpedo,, Can Yasen class fight imagery Qaeda subs

Yasen armed with Kalibr land attack cruise missiles range 2500+ km. Shoots all over Syria and Iraq from the Mediterranean.

main mission for Yasen is not for bomb Qaeda, its main mission/intention to fight EU/USA nuke subs, its secondary mission to bomb terrorists

Russia's current enemy is Qaeda, not the US and EU which are on friendly terms with Russia. Julani vows to nuke Moscow. Putin will hang Julani in public in Moscow.

It's cheaper than carriers.

oh paranoid, Yasen carry nuke cruise missiles/nuke torpedoes, its is for bombing terrorists, thinks logically

It's cheaper than carriers.

su-34/su-35/su25 even cheaper than nuke sub

Nop. Jet fuel costs a lot. Yasen is nuke powered. No refueling. Also, planes can crash. Subs are safer.

not costlier then building and fitting nuke reactors on sub

It's a one time cost. Nuclear subs are only fueled once.

and every 3-4 year they will have maintenance, its more costlier and difficult than maintenance of fighter jets

Subs don't have to move much. They get rearmed with cruise missiles at ports. It's cheaper overall for striking land targets than carrier.
