In Severodvinsk, at the Sevmash shipyard, Russian President Vladimir Putin participated in a solemn ceremony this week where the Navy raised its flag on the new strategic nuclear submarine Knyaz Pzharsky, who is now officially part of the Russian Navy.
“A new pillar in Russia’s strategic defense, ready to protect our maritime borders for decades,” Putin declared during the ceremony.
The ceremony was attended by several high-ranking government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, presidential advisors Alexey Dyumin and Nikolai Patrushev, the Navy’s commander-in-chief Alexander Moiseev, and the Governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Alexander Tsybulsky. 
Knyaz Pozharsky is the latest strategic submarine crown in 955a borei-a-The project, the fourth generation, powered by an OK-650V nuclear reactor. The vessel represents one of the most advanced elements of Russia’s nuclear triad, with a high degree of sneak capacity, maneuverability and impact.
Technical specifications for Knyaz Pozharsky:
- Project: 955A BOREI-A (fourth generation strategic submarines)
- Progress: OK-650V nuclear reactor (virtually unlimited range)
- Main Moving: 16 Ballistic Missiles RSM-56 Bulava
- Range: Over 9,000 km
- Nuclear capacity: Between 6 and 10 hypersonic warheads per missile (up to 150 kilot tonight each)
- Maximum speed: up to 30 knots (~ 55 km/h)
Knyaz Pozharsky is the 142nd nuclear submarine built by Sevmash – Russia’s largest shipyard and part of the national shipbuilding industry. According to the authorities, six more submarines of the same type are planned by 2030. 
The vessel is named after Prince Dmitrij Pozjarsky, a historical figure who led the Russian opposition to Polish-Lithuanian occupation in the 17th century. This modern cruiser thus becomes the fifth submarine in the Borei-A project that has been put into operation over the last six years.
