Almost out of breath in the nuclear submarine race with Russia, the US has the illusion that it will catch up with Moscow by equipping a new nuclear submarine every year.

| Russia's Tass news agency reported on October 30 from Moscow that, unlike previous Borei-class submarines, the fourth Borei submarine that Russia is about to launch will be an improved, more modern type than the previous three. Photo source: Wiki. |

| It is known that this fourth Borei submarine was built in 2012 and named Knyaz Vladimir. This is the first ship in the improved Borei II class of Project 955А. Photo source: Tass. |

| The Russian Navy plans to build a total of eight Borei submarines in the future, three of which have been completed and the remaining five are under construction and nearing completion. Photo source: Blogs. |

| The Knyaz Vladimir submarine will be launched this November and will undergo a year-long trial before being commissioned into the Russian Pacific Fleet in 2018. Photo source: Medium. |

| With Russia's submarine forces vastly superior to America's most modern nuclear attack submarines, Russia's continued "birth" of more submarines will put America on edge. Photo source: Medium. |

| According to information posted on the Scout Warrior website, the US is currently accelerating the construction of new Virginia-class attack submarines. In the period from 2018 to 2030, the US is even aiming for "a new nuclear submarine to be launched each year". Photo source: Military. |

| The Borei-class nuclear submarine, also known as Project 955, has a maximum displacement of 24,000 tons, is 170 meters long, and has a crew of 130. Photo source: Military. |
 |
| The ship's main weapon system is 16 Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads, in addition to 533mm torpedoes and RPK-2 Vyuga cruise missiles. Photo source: Sputnik |
 |
| The submarine has a maximum speed of about 30 knots when submerged, equivalent to 56 km/h. When surfaced, Borei submarines are capable of moving at a maximum speed of about 15 knots, equivalent to 28 km/h. Photo source: Pinterest. |
 |
| It is expected that by 2018, Russia will put into service two Borei-class nuclear submarines at once, one in 2019 and the last two in 2020. This means that by 2020, the size and strength of the Russian Navy will certainly change significantly. Photo source: Pinterest. |
