The last ship of the “667 family”, as well as the last Soviet submarine missile carrier of the 2nd generation (in fact, “smoothly transferred” to the 3rd generation) was the strategic missile submarine of the 667BDRM Delfin project, like its predecessors, created CDB Central Design Bureau MT "Rubin" under the leadership general designer, academician S. N. Kovalev. The government decree on the development of a new nuclear-powered submarine was issued on September 10, 1975. The project, which is a further development of the design of Soviet submarine missile carriers of previous projects, was based on the latest developments in the field of missile and torpedo weapons, fire control systems, electronic weapons, as well as means to increase hydroacoustic secrecy. In 1970-1975 in the leading industry research centers of the country, a complex of large-scale research and development work was carried out to increase the stealth of submarines. Improved depreciation schemes, shock-absorbing and damping means, vibration-isolating, noise-absorbing and non-resonating coatings were being developed. The regularities of noise emission of hull structures, supporting and non-supporting connections, propellers, etc. were studied. The results of these works were widely used in the creation of a new missile submarine, designed to complement more expensive (and, therefore, less massive) SSBN project. The main weapon of the ship was to be the new D-9RM missile system with 16 RSM-54 intercontinental liquid-propellant missiles with increased firing range, accuracy and warhead separation radius.
The design of the new ship was a further development of the boats of the 667th family. Due to the increased dimensions of the missiles, as well as the need to introduce new design solutions to reduce hydroacoustic visibility, the boat had to again increase the height of the missile silo fencing. The length of the fore and aft ends of the ship was also increased, the diameter of the strong hull also increased, the contours of the light hull in the region of 1-3 compartments were somewhat "filled". In the design of the pressure hull, as well as the end and inter-compartment bulkheads of the boat, steel was used, obtained by electroslag remelting and having increased ductility.
When creating a submarine, measures were taken to significantly reduce its noise, as well as to reduce interference with the operation of onboard sonar equipment. The principle of aggregation of mechanisms and equipment is widely used, which is placed on a common frame, cushioned against the ship's strong hull. Local sound absorbers have been installed in the area of the power compartments, and the efficiency of acoustic coatings of light and durable hulls has been increased. As a result, according to the characteristics of hydroacoustic visibility, the nuclear-powered ship approached the level of the American SSBN Atomic Submarine with ballistic missiles 3rd Generation Ohio.
"667BDRM Dolphin" has low-noise five-bladed propellers with improved hydroacoustic characteristics. To provide the propellers with the most favorable operating conditions, a special hydrodynamic device is installed on the light body, which equalizes the incoming water flow.
In the "667BDRM Dolphin" project, measures were taken to further improve habitability conditions. The crew of the ship received a solarium, a sauna, a sports hall, etc. at their disposal. An improved system of electrochemical air regeneration by electrolysis of water and the absorption of carbon dioxide by a solid regenerating absorber reliably ensured an oxygen concentration within 25% and carbon dioxide no higher than 0.8% . For centralized control all types of combat activities, the boat is equipped with the Omnibus-BRDM combat information and control system, which collects and processes information, solves the tasks of tactical maneuvering and combat use of torpedo and rocket-torpedo weapons,
On the SSBN Strategic missile submarine a new SKAT-BDRM hydroacoustic complex was installed, which, in terms of its characteristics, is not inferior to its American counterparts. It has a large antenna with a diameter of 8.1 m and a height of 4.5 m. For the first time in the practice of domestic shipbuilding, a glass-plastic antenna radome with a ribless design was used for the first time in the practice of domestic shipbuilding on the 667BDRM Dolphin project (this made it possible to reduce hydroacoustic interference affecting the antenna device of the complex). There is also a towed sonar antenna, which retracts into the hull when not in use.
The navigation complex "Sluice" provides the necessary accuracy in the use of missile weapons. The position of the ship is specified by means of astro-correction with a subsurface to the periscope depth with a frequency of once every two days.
Currently SSBN Strategic missile submarine project "667BDRM Dolphin" are the basis of the marine component of the strategic nuclear triad of Russia. All of them are part of the 3rd strategic flotilla PL Submarine Northern Fleet and are based in Yagelnaya Bay. To accommodate individual boats, there are also special shelter bases, which are reliably protected underground structures intended for parking, as well as for ensuring the repair and refueling of reactors with nuclear fuel.
Submarines of the project "667BDRM Dolphin" became one of the first domestic nuclear-powered ships, almost completely invulnerable in the areas of their combat duty. Carrying out patrols in the Arctic seas immediately adjacent to the Russian coast (including under the ice cover), even under the most favorable hydrological situation for the enemy (complete calm, which is observed in the Barents Sea in only 8% of "natural situations"), they can be discovered by the latest American multi-purpose nuclear submarines of the Los Angeles type at distances of less than 30 km. However, under conditions typical for the remaining 92% of the year, in the presence of waves and wind at a speed of more than 10-15 m / s, "667BDRM Dolphin" is not detected by the enemy at all or can be detected GAS Hydro-acoustic station type VOO-5 at distances less than 10 km, when further underwater tracking causes an increased risk of collision of boats and is equally dangerous for both the “hunter” and the “game”. Moreover, in the northern polar seas there are vast shallow areas where, even in complete calm, the detection range of boats of the 667BDRM Dolphin project is reduced to less than 10 km (i.e., almost absolute survival of submarine missile carriers is ensured). At the same time, one should bear in mind the fact that Russian missile submarines are actually on combat duty in the country's internal waters, which are quite well (even in the current conditions) covered by the fleet's anti-submarine weapons, which further reduces the real effectiveness of NATO "killer" boats.
It is assumed that part of the RSM-54 missiles will be equipped with a monoblock heavy-duty high-explosive fragmentation warhead warhead with mass explosive over 2000 kg. Such missiles could be used in a non-nuclear conflict for ultra-precise destruction of especially important stationary targets. In addition, it is possible to equip Russian SSBN Strategic missile submarine missiles carrying fundamentally new nuclear warhead warhead ultra-small caliber (with TNT equivalent from 5 to 50 tons). With the threat of armed aggression against Russia and the impossibility of preventing it by political, diplomatic and military means of general purpose, such weapons with high accuracy will be able to destroy a specific building or quarter where such targets are located as headquarters, government agencies, centers that develop and produce certain. weapons systems, etc. At the same time, the civilian population and neighboring non-military facilities will not suffer or suffer only slightly. Thus, the submarines of the project "667BDRM Dolphin" are capable, if necessary, of turning from a highly specialized means of "nuclear deterrence" into a multi-purpose combat complex designed to solve problems in armed conflicts various categories and degrees of intensity.
Nuclear submarines with nuclear weapons on board are in themselves a work of art with a displacement of several thousand tons. Doomsday submarines are unique weapons in every sense. Technical solutions to ensure survivability, armament and means of controlling the situation and communications are not just individual components and assemblies, but a dozen works of specialized research institutes and enterprises. It is due to the fact that the developers took into account the potential for modernization when designing submarines, many of the Cold War submarines return to service after refitting. modern equipment and armament.
Experts are sure that a relatively small modernization work will allow for decades to ensure nuclear parity and the inevitability of a nuclear retaliatory strike in the event of aggression against Russia, and the conversion of submarines to use deep-sea vehicles will allow solving highly specialized tasks at great depths. Potential Threat For any potential adversary, the combat duty of a strategic missile submarine is a headache that turns into a migraine. The degree of danger of such submarines, or rather, missiles with a nuclear warhead in their compartments for weapons, is very capaciously described by one foreign term. "Unacceptable damage" in the understanding of the foreign military is primarily associated with the very possibility of a full-scale nuclear strike by the entire "nuclear triad" - from the air, land and sea. As a result, the amount of "unacceptable damage" is blurred. However, experts note that for the US military, the main opponent of the Soviet Union in the Cold War, the main fear was and remains submarines that can strike unexpectedly, while being in close proximity to the country's borders. 
It was the creation and modernization of such submarines, first in the Soviet Union, and then in Russia, that have always been given special attention. Building up the country's nuclear shield is a necessary and important matter, but the modernization of existing submarines and the re-equipment of on-board equipment and weapons is a task of no less importance. The nuclear submarine of project 667BDRM "Dolphin", despite the year of launching the lead ship, is a unique submarine. Even at the development stage, the specialists of TsKBMT Rubin took into account almost everything that was necessary for the construction of strategic submarine missile carriers.
The boat received a solid hull covered special material to reduce noise and visibility, a redesigned power plant, and the world-famous weapons compartment - the very “hump” several tens of meters behind the wheelhouse in which intercontinental ballistic missiles are stored. Experts and fleet historians note that despite the partial similarity of the second and third generation nuclear submarines, in terms of technological solutions, the Dolphin could compete with the lunar program or the creation of a promising orbital station. Destruction and record
It is not easy even for an experienced crew to ensure the use of a ballistic missile in conditions where the carrier submarine is actually the “number one” target. Despite the fact that combat duty and control of a cruiser with a total displacement of more than 18 thousand tons is trusted only by professionals, the use of weapons, on which the life of an entire state depends, must be mastered perfectly. The use of ballistic missiles from the Dolphin is a unique process. The design of the boat and missile silos allows you to "carry" with you up to 16 R-29RMU2 "Sineva" ballistic missiles.
The launch of such missiles in combat conditions can take place without the submarine surfacing to the surface from a depth of up to 50 meters, and the range of the missile is limited to over 9 thousand kilometers. Dolphin, by the way, owns a completely unique strategic missile record, which the navies of foreign countries have not yet been able to repeat. As many have already guessed, we are talking about the unique Begemot-2 operation, which was based a scenario for the development of an international crisis, in which the crew of a submarine cruiser was required not only to launch a missile, but to release all the transportable ammunition of the submarine in the direction of a mock enemy. 16 ballistic missiles with an interval of several seconds of operation from the surface flew away towards the mock enemy, and the K-407 submarine and its crew staked out the title of the first in the world in such operations. However, the unique operations of the submarine of this project will have to be carried out in the near future.
From "strategist" to "saboteurs"
One of the Project 667BDRM submarines has recently returned to service after a major overhaul. However, the K-64 (BS-64 "Podmoskovye") has changed significantly. A unique submarine from the "horseman of the apocalypse" was turned into a unique underwater reconnaissance saboteur. It should be noted that the modernization process turned out to be complex and lengthy - work has been carried out since 1999, and for various reasons, the commissioning of the nuclear submarine was seriously adjusted.
However, despite these difficulties, the atomic reconnaissance saboteur has already entered sea trials, and upon their completion will be accepted into the fleet. The phrase "scout-saboteur" in this context is used on purpose, because the main weapons of the K-64 are now not huge ballistic missiles that can wipe entire countries from the surface of the planet, but deep-sea vehicles. The main purpose of such deep-sea modules is to counteract any attempts to infiltrate communication and control channels, the so-called "bugs" on submarine cables. The peculiarity of deep-sea vehicles “launched” from a submarine is not so much in how deep such equipment can dive, but in how autonomously and for a long time such equipment can work.
Experts note that the submarine in this case will serve only as a carrier, and after the separation of deep-sea vehicles, it will be able to “go home” and return to the area after the deep-sea reconnaissance vehicles have completed all the work. Experts note that the unique submarine will have to operate, including in the Arctic latitudes. It is to this region that the attention of the leading world powers has recently been riveted - the colossal deposits of minerals and the territorial claims of some states will more than once be in the news headlines. 
Despite the fact that the composition of the equipment used for marine work in the Main Directorate of Deep Sea Research is unknown, the choice of unmanned marine reconnaissance aircraft for work at great depths is explained simply. Experts note that none of the existing deep-sea vehicles with a crew inside can be compared with drones in terms of survivability and safety. “Deep-sea work has already been carried out by the AS-12 Losharik submarine. Then, after 20 days of navigation, they only corrected the deformations of the hull caused by pressure at great depths, and also carried out minor repairs and checked the operation of a number of mechanisms, ”explained military expert Alexei Leonkov. There is reason to believe that in addition to the re-equipment of the carrier submarine, the deep-sea submersibles themselves will undergo significant modifications.
In addition to performing tasks in the interests of the Russian Ministry of Defense, deep sea drones will be able to engage in geological exploration and other scientific work. Among other things, such a submarine can also be used in search and rescue operations - for example, to survey sunken ships or crashed airliners. Experts do not exclude that in the future, as new strategic missile cruisers are built and submarines are put into operation, the special-purpose submarine fleet can be increased, because the tasks that require deep-sea technology and the corresponding carrier ships increase every year.
The classic trio of ICBM heavy bombers, land-based missiles and ballistic missile submarines form a nuclear capability Russian Federation. Below you will find detailed information about the origins of submarines with nuclear weapons, namely the nuclear powered ships of project 667a.
History of creation
In general, the emergence of the very idea of building a submarine armed with ballistic missiles is associated with one interesting fact. It lies in the superiority of the United States over the USSR in this area.
After all, as you know, from the end of the 50s to the end of the next decade in America, they managed to design 4 types of strategic nuclear submarines. These were:
- USS George Washington - the main ship in a series of 5 nuclear-powered ships;
- Ethan Allen;
- Will Rogers;
- Lafayette.
Each of them was part of the Polaris system (the American nuclear program of those times), being armed with long-range and short-range ballistic missiles. In total, during this period, the US Navy had 41 missile submarines. They had 656 missiles in total.
In the USSR of that time there were only 37 units of such equipment and only 104 missiles that could only be launched from the surface of the water. Of course, this alignment did not suit the Soviet government. This gave impetus to the entire ship and rocket industry to create a domestic submarine comparable to foreign analogues.
Thus, project 667 was born. Large-sized R-21 ballistic missiles fired from the D-4 missile system (RK) were to be placed on board. However, the project stopped at the design stage due to identified shortcomings and the emergence of new missiles and complexes.
Therefore, it was decided to modify project 667 to 667a, in which small-sized R-27s were used, starting from D-5.
S. N. Kovalev was appointed chief designer, according to whose designs 92 submarines were built.
After doing technical project(1962), in 1963 the armament was amended. Three years later, tests of the first K-137 Lenivets model began, during which a speed of 28.3 knots was achieved, instead of the planned 25.
In 1967, the K-137 officially entered service with the Soviet Navy. It was the submarines of this project that became the most numerous in the country's fleet (34 units were on alert). Subsequently, Project 667a submarines were modified, receiving mainly new missile weapons.
Description
The new nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles (SSBN - the official name) of project 667a received a double hull. The light body is made of steel, and the durable one is made of low-magnetic steel. The thickness of the robust case is 40 mm, and its cylindrical shape was about 9.5 meters in diameter. Steel bulkheads capable of withstanding 10 atmospheres divide the nuclear submarine into:
- forward torpedo armament compartment;
- compartment for batteries and crew accommodation;
- central post;
- two compartments with the placement of the D-5 missile system of the “dry” type;
- diesel compartment;
- nuclear reactor compartment;
- two compartments with steam turbine equipment;
- motor compartment.
During the construction of submarines of the Navaga type (another name for project 667a), noise reduction technologies were used and refined.
Another feature of the nuclear submarine of this model is the echelon arrangement of units. This placement is due to the fact that each power plant is located in a separate compartment. This makes it easier Maintenance, and a breakdown will not interfere with other devices from working, because they are isolated.
Preparing the project, the designers took care of the conditions for the crew.
Therefore, the Navaga submarine has excellent conditions for personnel. Each of the residential compartments has its own air conditioning and soundproofing technologies. Employees on the submarine can be accommodated in small cockpits designed for several people or in separate cabins.
A wardroom is provided for officers, and for the first time a separate dining room has been allocated for midshipmen and senior officers, if necessary, this room can be turned into a gym and a cinema. Engineering networks like wires, pipes, etc. are carefully hidden. The presence of such conditions is simply necessary in autonomous navigation, because the psychological pressure is quite high.
Tactical and technical characteristics of "Navaga"
The dimensions of the "Navaga" are impressive. Indeed, in length it is about 128 meters with a width of slightly less than 12 meters. Surface displacement - 7640 tons, and underwater 11500 tons. During the surface run, the submarine settles about 8 meters from the surface of the water.
At its working depth of 320 meters, Navaga develops a speed of 16 knots. Floating to the surface, it can give out up to 26 knots. The maximum possible dive is 400 meters.
The crew can stay in the submarine for up to 60 days.
The submarine is set in motion by different types of power plants (PP). The main power plant is represented by two autonomous blocks. Each block consists of a pressurized water reactor (using water as a moderator and coolant), a steam turbine plant and a turbogenerator with an autonomous drive. In total, such an installation produces about 52 thousand liters. with. Both nuclear reactors are located in the protected 7th compartment of the submarine, and the steam generators, their apparatus and equipment are located in the 8th and 9th compartments.
To help the main power plant in the submarine, a multifunctional diesel-electric plant is provided. It consisted of two diesel generators, for which the 6th compartment of the Project 667a submarine was allocated.
From these DGs, a battery station operates, charging lead-acid batteries located in the second compartment. The tasks of batteries and diesel generators are to provide nuclear submarines with electricity in the event of a reactor malfunction.
Quite advanced, for its time, electronic equipment was installed on board the Navaga submarine. It included the Tucha information and control system, the Kerch hydroacoustic complex and the Albatross radar complex, and much more.
In submarines of different years of manufacture, navigation systems differed. For example, in the latest models, released in the late 80s and later, satellite navigation was already used.
Armament
The D-5 missile system consists of 16 silos with RSM-25 missiles placed in them, weighing 14.2 tons. The missiles themselves have a separating monobloc warhead with a capacity of 1 Mt of TNT.
The D-5 missile system allows for salvo fire at an interval of 8 seconds, which has been successfully tested in practice. The launch was made from a depth of 40-50 meters.
Of the torpedo weapons on the submarine 667a, two types of torpedo tubes are installed on the nose. 4 large-caliber (533 mm) TA for anti-ship torpedoes and 2 smaller-caliber vehicles (450 mm) for anti-submarine torpedo missiles. The total ammunition load was 20 units.
For air defense, mobile air defense systems of the Strela type were used, working with air targets.
Modifications
Domestic submarines Murena, Grusha, Kalmar and Dolphin are modifications of project 667a. All of them represented the power of the nuclear potential of the USSR and Russia in the future. In addition, one of the representatives of the 667BDRM project, called Novomoskovsk, managed to gain a unique experience.
The fact is that, taking part in the Behemoth-2 operation, the missile compartment of the Project 667b submarine was completely devastated. This means that all 16 long-range missiles were fired. Such an achievement has never been repeated either by the Russian Navy's agro-industrial complex or by foreign submarine missile carriers.
Among all this equipment of the 667th project, the uniqueness of the modernized project 667at of the Grusha nuclear submarine should be emphasized. Unlike other representatives who carried ballistic missiles, this submarine had a complex of subsonic cruise missiles S-10 "Granat".
The main use of the Grusha APC was found off the coast of the United States as a means of patrolling and surveillance. However, the introduction of new sonar technologies in this country has made it possible to detect a submarine, at present this function is assigned to other low-noise types of submarines.
Because of this, it was necessary to increase the distance from the coast, and this, in turn, meant an increase in the range of missiles. So, Murena was born with less noise and an improved R-29 on board.
The latest modification of 667a is the boat of project 667BDRM "Dolphin".
From its board, it is possible to launch not only R-29RM ballistic missiles, but also artificial satellites. It was carried out on the already familiar Novomoskovsk nuclear submarine. While submerged, she fired a launch vehicle with the first satellite made in Germany. Another launch was made by the Shtil-1 rocket, which lifted another artificial Earth satellite into low Earth orbit.
Project 667BDRM nuclear submarines have a high potential for modernization, therefore, starting from 2012, submarines of this type are being re-equipped and repaired. In addition, in 2011, designers were able to create new version of the old R-29RMU2 used aboard the Dolphin. The development was named R-29RMU2.1. The new missile is capable of carrying 12 small-class nuclear units and bypassing more modern and advanced anti-missile systems.

underwater nuclear boat with ballistic missiles (SSBN). The SSBN project was developed by the Central Design Bureau MT "Rubin" (Leningrad), chief designer -. The Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the development of SSBNs with the D-9RM missile system was issued on September 10, 1975.
The construction of a series of boats was carried out in Severodvinsk by the Sevmash Production Association. The lead boat K-51 (serial number 379) was laid down on February 23, 1981, launched on March 7, 1984 and accepted by the Fleet on December 29, 1984.
Design double-hulled - based on the design of SSBN pr.667BDR - the height of the missile silo fencing has been increased, a long slotted scupper has been placed along the missile compartment, the length of the fore and aft ends has been increased, the GAS fairing has been plastic without ribs, the diameter of the pressure hull has been increased, the contours of the light hull have been "filled" in area 1 -3 compartments.
The structural material of the pressure hull is steel obtained by electroslag remelting with increased ductility.
To equalize the incoming water flow, a special hydrodynamic device is installed in front of the propellers on the light hull of the boat.
The design of the boat provides for measures to significantly reduce noise - in compartments with units power plant local sound absorbers are installed, durable and lightweight hulls are equipped with a new anti-hydroacoustic coating. In terms of noise level, the boat is close to the Ohio-type SSBNs (USA).
To improve the weather conditions, the ship has a solarium, a sauna and a gym. The system of electrochemical air regeneration has been improved by water electrolysis and absorption of carbon dioxide by a solid regenerating absorber. The system ensures that the content of oxygen in the air in kredels is 25% and carbon dioxide is not higher than 0.8%.
According to the design features of the light hull (at least), the boats can be divided into early and late versions of the project (see the register below). The main visual difference is in the size and location of the slotted scupper in the light hull of the boat.

Jane's Fighting Ships 2010-2011. UK, 2011
The last ship of the “667 family” and the last Soviet submarine missile carrier of the 2nd generation (in fact, smoothly passed into the third generation) was the strategic missile submarine cruiser (RPKSN) of project 667-BRDM (code “Dolphin”). Like its predecessors, it was created at the Rubin Central Design Bureau for Marine Engineering under the leadership of the General Designer, Academician S.N. Kovalev. (the chief observer from the navy is captain of the first rank Yu.F. Piligin). A government decree on the development of an underwater nuclear submarine was issued on 09/10/1975.
The main submarine was supposed to be the D-9RM missile system, which has 16 R-29RM intercontinental liquid-propellant missiles (RSM-54 - contract designation, SS-N-23 "Skiff" - NATO designation), which had increased firing range, divorce radius and accuracy combat blocks. The development of the missile system began in 1979 at the KBM. The creators of the complex were focused on achieving maximum technical level and performance characteristics with limited changes in the submarine project. In terms of combat capabilities, the new missiles surpassed all modifications of the most powerful American Trident naval missile systems, while having much smaller dimensions and weight. Depending on the number of warheads, as well as their mass, the range of fire of ballistic missiles could significantly exceed 8.3 thousand km. The R-29RM was the last missile developed under the leadership of Makeev V.P., as well as the last Soviet liquid-propellant intercontinental ballistic missile - all subsequent domestic ballistic missiles were designed as solid-propellant ones.
The design of the new submarine was a further development of the 667-BDR project. Due to the increased dimensions of the missiles and the need to introduce structural solutions to reduce hydroacoustic visibility, the submarine had to increase the height of the missile silo fencing. The length of the stern and bow ends of the ship was also increased, the diameter of the strong hull also increased, the contours of the light hull in the area of the first - third compartments were somewhat "filled". In the strong hull, as well as in the design of the inter-compartment and end bulkheads of the submarine, steel was used, which was obtained by electroslag remelting. This steel had higher plasticity.
When creating the submarine, measures were taken to significantly reduce the noise of the vessel, as well as to reduce interference with the operation of hydroacoustic onboard equipment. The principle of aggregation of equipment and mechanisms was widely used, which was placed on a common shock-absorbed, relatively strong frame of the ship's hull. Local sound absorbers were installed in the area of the power compartments, and the efficiency of acoustic coatings of durable and lightweight hulls was increased. As a result, the nuclear submarine, in terms of sonar visibility characteristics, approached the level of the American nuclear submarine with third-generation Ohio ballistic missiles.
The main power plant of the submarine consists of two VM-4SG pressurized water reactors (each with a capacity of 90 MW) and two OK-700A steam turbines. The rated power of the power plant is 60 thousand liters. with. The submarine has two diesel generators DG-460, two turbine generators TG-3000, two economy electric motors. stroke (power of each 225 hp) the nuclear submarine is equipped with five-bladed low-noise propellers with improved hydroacoustic characteristics. A hydrodynamic special is installed on a lightweight body to ensure a favorable operating mode for the propellers. a device that equalizes the oncoming flow of water.
In the project of the submarine project 667-BDRM, measures were taken to improve habitability conditions. The crew of the cruiser had at their disposal a sauna, a solarium, a gym and the like. An improved system of electrochemical air regeneration due to the electrolysis of water and the absorption of carbon dioxide by a solid regenerating absorber ensures an oxygen concentration within 25 percent and carbon dioxide no more than 0.8 percent.
For centralized control of combat activities, Project 667-BDRM SSBNs are equipped with the Omnibus-BDRM CIUS, which collects and processes information, solves the tasks of tactical maneuvering and combat use of rocket-torpedo and torpedo weapons.
A new SJSC Skat-BDRM has been installed on a nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles, which, in terms of its characteristics, is not inferior to its American counterparts. The hydroacoustic complex has a large antenna 4.5 meters high and 8.1 meters in diameter. On the ships of project 667-BDRM for the first time in the practice of Soviet shipbuilding, a fiberglass antenna radome was used, which has a ribless design (this made it possible to significantly reduce hydroacoustic interference that affects the antenna device of the complex). There is also a towed sonar antenna, which in the non-working position was retracted into the hull of the nuclear submarine.
The navigation complex "Sluice" provides the boat with the necessary accuracy in the use of missile weapons. Clarification of the submarine's location by means of astro-correction is carried out upon ascent to the periscope depth with a frequency of once every 48 hours.
The submarine missile carrier 667-BDRM is equipped with the Molniya-N radio communication system. There are two pop-up buoy-type antennas that allow you to receive radio messages, target designation signals and space navigation systems at great depths.
The D-9RM missile system, adopted in 1986 (after the death of Viktor Petrovich Makeev, its creator), is a further development of the D-9R complex. The D-9R complex consists of 16 liquid three-stage ampouled R-29RM missiles (ind. ZM37) with a maximum range of 9.3 thousand km. The R-29RM rocket even today has the highest energy-mass perfection in the world. The missile has a launch weight of 40.3 tons and a throw weight of 2.8 tons, which is almost equal to the throw weight of the much heavier US Trident II missile. The R-29RM is equipped with a multiple reentry vehicle designed for four or ten warheads with a total capacity of 100 kt. Today, all project 667-BDRM nuclear submarines have deployed missiles, the warhead of which is equipped with four warheads. High accuracy (circular probable deviation is 250 meters), commensurate with the accuracy of the Trident D-5 (USA) missiles, the KVO of which, according to various estimates is 170-250 meters, allows the D-9RM complex to hit small-sized highly protected targets (mine ICBM launchers, command posts and other objects). The launch of the entire ammunition load can be carried out in one salvo. The maximum launch depth is 55 meters without restrictions in the launch area due to weather conditions.
The new torpedo-missile system, which is installed on the Project 667-BDRM submarine, consists of 4 533 mm caliber torpedo tubes with a fast-loading system, which ensure the use of almost all types of modern torpedoes, PLUR (anti-submarine rocket-torpedo), hydroacoustic countermeasures.
Modifications
In 1988, the D-9RM missile system, which is installed on Project 667-BDRM boats, was modernized: warheads were replaced with more advanced ones, the navigation system was supplemented with space navigation equipment (GLONASS), they made it possible to launch missiles along flat trajectories, which makes it possible to more to reliably overcome the promising missile defense systems of a potential adversary. They increased the resistance of missiles to the damaging factors of nuclear weapons. According to some experts, the modernized D-9RM is superior to the Trident D-5, the American counterpart, in such important indicators as the ability to overcome enemy anti-missile defenses and the accuracy of hitting targets.
In 1990-2000, the K-64 missile carrier was converted into an experimental vessel and renamed BS-64.
Construction program
K-51 - the lead missile carrier of project 667-BDRM - was laid down in Severodvinsk on the Northern machine-building enterprise in February 1984, launched in January next year, and in December it was put into operation. In total, in the period from 1985 to 1990, 7 SSBNs of this project were built at the Northern Machine-Building Enterprise.
Status for 2007
Currently, nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles (according to our classification, the Strategic Missile Submarine) of project 667-BDRM (known in the West as the “Delta IV class”) are the basis of the naval component of the Russian strategic nuclear triad. All of them are part of the third flotilla of strategic submarines of the Northern Fleet based in Yagelnaya Bay. To accommodate individual submarines, there are special. Shelter bases, which are underground well-protected structures intended for parking and ensuring the reloading of reactors with nuclear fuel and repairs.
Submarines of project 667-BDRM became one of the first Soviet nuclear submarines, almost completely invulnerable in the area of their combat duty. Performing combat patrols in the Arctic seas, which are adjacent directly to the Russian coast, submarines, even under the most favorable hydrological conditions for the enemy (complete calm, which is observed in only 8 percent of “natural situations” in the Barents Sea), can be detected by the latest multi-purpose nuclear submarines of the "Improved Los Angeles" of the US Navy at distances of no more than 30 km. But under conditions that are typical for the remaining 92 percent of the time of the year, in the presence of wind at a speed of 10-15 m / s and waves, nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles of project 667-BDRM are not detected by the enemy at all or can be detected by a BQQ-5 hydroacoustic system at a distance of up to 10 km. In addition, in the polar seas of the north, there are vast shallow areas in which the detection range of project 667-BDRM boats, even in complete calm, is reduced to less than 10 thousand meters (that is, almost absolute survival of submarines is ensured). At the same time, it must be borne in mind that Russian missile submarines actually carry out their combat duty in inland waters, which are quite well covered by the fleet's anti-submarine weapons.
In 1990, one of the cruisers of project 667-BDRM conducted a special. tests with the preparation and subsequent launch of the entire ammunition load consisting of 16 missiles in a salvo (as in a real combat situation). This experience was unique not only for our country, but for the whole world.
SSGN pr.949-A and SSBN "Novomoskovsk" pr.677-BDRM in the database
Project 667-BDRM submarines are currently also used to launch artificial earth satellites into low earth orbits. From one of the nuclear submarines with ballistic missiles of project 667-BDRM in July 1998, the Shtil-1 launch vehicle, developed on the basis of the R-29RM rocket, for the first time in the world launched the Tubsat-N artificial satellite of the Earth, of German design (launch performed from a submerged position). Also, work is underway to develop a Shtil-2 marine launch vehicle of greater power with a weight of the output load, which is increased to 350 kilograms.
Probably, the service of project 667-BDRM missile carriers will continue until 2015. To maintain the combat potential of these ships at the required level military industrial commission in September 1999, they decided to resume the production of R-29RM missiles.
