The upgraded 949AM nuclear submarine is not only the type of cruise missile submarine with the most anti-ship missiles carried by the Russian Navy, but also the most feared nuclear submarine by the US Navy! Moscow, January 11 (Xinhua) -- Russian shipbuilding industry sources told Sputnik News Agency that the improved 949AM nuclear submarine can carry up to 72 heavy anti-ship missiles or hypersonic anti ship cruise missiles, including "Caliber," "High Agate," "Zircon," and others. In addition,this type of nuclear submarine can also carry nearly 30 torpedoes or torpedo missiles at the same time, making its total ammunition base reach hundreds, making it a well deserved arsenal ship!

At present, the 949A class nuclear submarine "Irkutsk" is undergoing upgrades and renovations at the Russian Far East "Starship" shipyard according to the design requirements of the 949AM model, and the next ship to undergo the same renovation will be the 949A class nuclear submarine "Chelyabinsk". It is reported that once this improved nuclear submarine forms combat power,it will be very terrifying. Even a non full missile salvo can easily destroy a fully staffed aircraft carrier battle group of the US Navy! According to the official information provided by the Russian Navy, the Russian Navy will install the two heavy cruise missile submarines that have reached modern service conditions within 4 years, including the ability to use the "Zircon" hypersonic missile and the ability to quickly sink and strike targets.

The 949A class nuclear submarine is the third generation of Russian cruise missile submarines, the core of the Russian Navy, and the most powerful naval combat equipment in human history. It is also the world's largest first class attack submarine, with a displacement of up to 18300 tons, comparable to the US Ohio class strategic missile submarines. Its main mission is to carry missiles in various oceans and attack "enemy" aircraft carrier battle groups mainly led by the US Navy. Since the mid-1980s,the Russian Navy has built 12 cruise missile submarines of this class. Due to their long service life, the Russian Navy plans to modernize and upgrade them. Don't think that the Russian Navy only has strategic missile and nuclear submarines that make the United States wary. In fact, the active attack or multi-purpose nuclear submarines of the Russian Navy also give the US Navy a headache. For example, the 949A attack nuclear submarine, the soon to be upgraded 949AM nuclear submarine, the "White Wax Tree" class multi-purpose nuclear submarine,etc. all have the ability to single handedly challenge a fully staffed aircraft carrier battle group of the US Navy. This is also one of the main reasons why the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group dare not easily approach or provoke Russia. Do you dare to move around?
