One of the salient features of the submarine was mentioned by the author with a hull reinforcement "with the ability to penetrate polar ice ice" , with weapons including 20 hard-fueled R-39 ballistic missiles.

"R-39 is a giant ballistic missile of a three-storey engine with a length of 16 meters and weighing 84 tons. Having a range of 4,480 nautical miles, R-39 can attack any point on the American continent , " Mizokami wrote.

"Akula" class submarines are still the largest submarines in the world today. The length of the ship is 172m. With a maximum payload of 26,000 tons, Project 941 is by far the largest submarine ever built. With the ability to dive throughout the month without rising, the crew can still live well.

The reason for NATO to call this type of submarine " unknown " Typhoon class might be due to Leonid Brezhnev in a 1974 speech describing a new type of nuclear submarine bearing ballistic missiles Typhoon. This is basically a type of submarine that can travel long distances to deploy ballistic missiles near the enemy's border but the missiles that this submarine offers have a long range enough to be considered to be deployed. declaration although still anchored at the port.
