Typhoon-class

The Typhoon class, known as the Project 941 Akula in Russia, is a fleet of massive nuclear-powered submarines designed for strategic missile deployment. Built during the Cold War, these submarine juggernauts are among the largest ever constructed, measuring over 175 meters long. They carry multiple ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, serving as a potent part of Russia’s nuclear deterrent. Their immense size allows them to operate quietly underwater, making them hard to detect, while their robust construction ensures durability and prolonged underwater patrols. The Typhoon class exemplifies Cold War naval engineering and strategic missile technology.
