Russian nuclear submarine, project 971 Shark III

Submarines of Project 971 "Shchuka-B" (designation of NATO - "Akula") - a series of Soviet multi-purpose nuclear submarines of the third generation, designed according to the same technical specification as the "titanium" boats project 945 Barracuda, but with a steel hull . The "Pike-Bs" built in 1983-2004 became the main type of multipurpose atomic submarines in the Russian fleet, replacing the obsolete boats of the 671RTMK "Pike" project. National Interest considers the nuclear submarine "Pike-B" to be one of the five most dangerous weapons of the RF Armed Forces. The high secretiveness of the submarine makes it only probable that it can be traced and destroyed by a preemptive strike. However, armament in the form of torpedoes and cruise missiles has a low barrier in non-nuclear conflict. At the same time, the nuclear submarine can use cruise missiles to attack critical NATO infrastructure facilities on the coast. Western experts believe that with the efforts of the entire NATO fleet, these submarines can be destroyed, but the price will be "a real devastation" of the coastal infrastructure, and probably at least one destroyed US aircraft carrier.
