This is good. Nuclear attack submarines are a cost effective way to destroy a large blue water navy (such as America's).
Lame journalism. Hypersonic missile with range of 1000 km wont fit into that submarine. Even Granit monster missile, which is carried by special class of huge SSGN submarines has range of only 550 km and its supersonic, not hypersonic.
but seriously..
zircon-s is still unfinished and in experimental phase....
nice way to put it, "They are good to destroy".
and i don't think their main target is to destroy ships in case of a NATO vs Russia war, but to launch Nuclear warheads aimed at the west. why do you think most of the nuclear armed subs of Russia is placed in the Northern fleet.
Its simply basic physics, no need to be a guru. With speed increase fuel consumption is growing exponentially. Thats why 7 ton Granit has range of 550 km and 3 ton new Brahmos/Oniks - only 300 km and bot missiles are only supersonic. Also Granit is way too big for Yasen class submarine.Another gem from our Israeli guru Of course who if not him would know the size of new classified Russian hypersonic cruise missiles and whether they will fit or not into that submarine
until now the russian doctrine about super/hypersonic cruise missiles was to increase speed not range....
but the subscwill be introduced in 2021...
lets see what type sorcery the russians come up with.

it was a serious question...
since some old Soviet style subs had swimming pools inside the submarines, i was wondering if this one would have that luxury to.
Yes sadly the old Soviet submarine swimming pool was also know as the reactor coolant, for the sake of the crew i hope swimming is no longer a requirement.

Actually, it could be much more efficient by flying hypersonically in the outer atmosphere. Basically, the faster you fly, the shorter amount of time you need to stay in the air for any given distance. This means less fuel consumption.
