The Borei-class submarine is a class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines developed by Russia. Designed to enhance the country's strategic deterrent capabilities, these submarines can carry up to 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles, specifically the Bulava missile. Borei-class submarines are notable for their stealth features and advanced technology, which include improved sonar systems and quieter propulsion. The first submarine of this class, the Yuri Dolgoruky, was commissioned in 2013, marking a significant advancement in Russian naval power and modernization efforts.
