The Russian submarine 941 "Akula" is the largest submarine in the world. The ability to destroy up to 200 targets simultaneously makes them "one of the most deadly weapons." The conclusion was made by Kyle Mizokami in his article on The National Interest.
One of the signature features of the submarine is that it mentions the hull enhancement "with polar ice capabilities," armed with 20 R-39 solid-fuel missiles.
"The R-39 is a gigantic three-stage ballistic missile with a length of 16 m and weighs 84 tons." With a 4,480-nautical-mile range, the R-39 can attack anywhere on the continental US, "Mizokami wrote. .
The "Akula" submarine remains the largest submarine in the world today. The length of the train is 172 m. With a maximum tonnage of 26,000 tons, until now, Project 941 was the largest submarine ever built. With the ability to dive throughout the month without exaggerating the crew can still live well. The reason NATO calls this type of submarine is the unknown "typhoon", probably because Leonid Brezhnev, in a 1974 speech, described a new type of ballistic missile, the Typhoon. Basically this is a submarine that can move far enough to deploy ballistic missiles near the enemy's borders, but the missiles that the submarines offer range far enough to be seen as developed. although still anchored at the port.
