TheK-535 Yuriy Dolgorukiy Borei-Class Submarine is the lead submarine of Russian's Borei-class, developed as part of the modernization of its sea-based nuclear forces. Named after the founder of Moscow, the submarine was laid down in 1996, launched in 2008, and commissioned into service with the Northern Fleet in 2013. Equipped with 16 Bulava ICBMs and multiple torpedo tubes, it serves as a key component of Russian's nuclear triad. The design features improved hydrodynamics, quieter propulsion, and a smaller crew size compared to its predecessors. The Borei class combines stealth and strike power with strategic mobility, ensuring second-strike capability in the event of conflict. K-535 Yuriy Dolgorukiy remains in active service today and continues to represent a cornerstone of Russian's underwater nuclear deterrent.
