    Great! I wonder if they are quieter versus the first model... - Being built in somewhat different ways on slightly different hulls, and now the addition of more missiles.

    They will not have 20 tubes, but 16.

    The information regarding the tube increase was later refuted.

    They may not be that old, but they might as well of kept the Typhoons and gotten rid of the Deltas... Either way the base design is aging.

    To TR1, where did you hear that? Even recent reports say the opposite...

    Russia’s nuclear submarine Vladimir Monomakh has departed its port to hold a test launch of the intercontinental ballistic Bulava (SS-NX-32) missile in the North Sea.

    MOSCOW, September 9 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s nuclear submarine Vladimir Monomakh has departed its port to hold a test launch of the intercontinental ballistic Bulava (SS-NX-32) missile in the North Sea, a source in the Sevmash Shipyard told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

    “The nuclear-powered submarine, the Vladimir Monomakh, has left Sevmash, the ship has been preliminarily prepared, and it should return before September 11,” the source said.

    Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said that two launches would take place in 2014. The first would be from the Vladimir Monomakh in September, and the second would be in November.

    Bulava is Russia's cutting-edge intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). Equipped with 10 warheads with a 9,000-kilometer range, it is even capable of withstanding nuclear attack.

    Test launches of the Bulava have been experiencing some problems. Last September during state trials of the Aleksander Nevsky nuclear-powered submarine a Bulava rocket experienced a malfunction. Following this incident Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered to hold five additional launches of Bulava missiles.

    Intercontinental ballistic missile R-30 Bulava should become primary weapon for ballistic missile submarines of the Borei class (Project 955), which is intended to replace the Delta III, Delta IV and Typhoon classes now in Russian Navy service.

    The main submarine of this project is Yury Dolgoruky. By now there have been 19 test launches, with 8 of them successful, 4 partially successful and the rest unsuccessful. The last test took place last September in the White Sea.

    Excellent news!!!  Very Happy

    Edit:  what is this rubbish video on TV Zvezda?  Judging by the lack of a dense rocket plume that is characteristic of solids, I think they have used some stock footage to accompany the story...

    Yep, right here... https://www.russiadefence.net/t34p75-bulava-slbm-development-thread

    Problem is that it was Navyfield, who has been kicked, and not TR1.

    Yes... Anyway, this launch will be crucial for the future of both Borei and Bulava, like every other launch.

    I didn't bet anything regarding Bulava.

    The only thing I bet was that Essen would be launched in 2015.
    The knowledge that Navyfield is somewhere crying is good enough for me.

    You bet that the launch wouldn't fail, so you're in a safe position regardless...

    Footage of inside Yuri Dolgoruky during the recent launch yesterday. For being a sub, the interior seems very "comfortable"... Plus, to be honest, it is more up-to-date than the Ohio's...
