Project 667BDR

Project 667BDR, known as the “Rubin” class, is a Soviet-era nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine built during the Cold War to enhance Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrence. Designed to carry multiple ballistic missiles capable of targeting land-based cities and military sites worldwide, it combines advanced underwater endurance and stealth with a powerful armament. These submarines operate covertly beneath the ocean, ensuring a second-strike capability in the event of a conflict, thereby serving as a critical component of Russia’s nuclear triad. They are part of a fleet designed to maintain strategic stability through deterrence.
