A bit confusion here:

What the NATO assigned as Akula, the Russians call them as Typhoons.
What the NATO assigned as Typhoon, the Russians call them as Akula.

So which one are we actually talking about?

Russian Name=Akula

NATO Reporting Name=Typhoon

WHEN WILL INDIA GO NEAR OR ATLEAST HALF OF THAT ?

Well, we're getting one (for 10year lease) next year, the INS Chakra

No, what NATO assigned as "Akula" the Russians call "Shuka-B".

What the NATO assigned as Typhoon, the Russians call them as Akula.

Thats correct.

Here a size comparsion:

front - the new Borei class SSBN (its about Ohio size), rear - Typhoon(Akula) SSBN.

Actually it is about 941 Typhoon class SSBN, not 971 Akula class SSN.

BOREI class looks like an infant in front of Typhoon class.
BTW there was no need for a sub of that size imo..

R-39 missile which Typhoon used was too big - 90 tons compare to 32 tons for Trident I and 59 tons for Trident II.

Sheesh! Typhoons are COLOSSAL! Wonder what would IN sailors say after being used to the luxuries of this monster and getting into Arihant which is about half of this..

 

[naumananjum]

Sir; you are mistaken. Mind if you look at the following link where I did a comparison of US/Russian ICBMs DefenceDog: Weapon Races-Strategic Ballistic Missile

your figures are extremely misleading:

Updated Skiff is Sineva SLBM with 10 warheads & updated range of 7175 miles[+10000km] in service 2007–present. 2008 Oct. 11: The K-114 Tula submarine launched the R-29RM Sineva missile from Barents Sea to the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating the maximum range of the vehicle, reaching 11,547 kilometers
guess what its lighter than US counterparts
