Militarnyi previously reported that Russia announced the completion of the first set of Poseidon torpedoes. Now, after the Dmitriy Donskoi was withdrawn from service, the Belgorod special-purpose submarine, which should become the carrier of Poseidon nuclear torpedoes, will become the largest submarine in the Russian Navy. In 2002, the ballistic missile submarine underwent modernization in accordance with the Project 941UM to test the Bulava-M ICBM. The seventh vessel was in project but was not completed due to financial and political reasons related to the USSR collapse. After it, five more submarines of this type were constructed. The submarine was launched on September 29, 1980, and commissioned on December 29, 1981.
The TK-208 keel was laid on July 17, 1976. TK-208 reaches 170 meters in length and 23.3 meters in width. This solution made submarines of this type the largest submarine ever built. The entire structure is surrounded by an outer hull. A set of 20 missile launchers is located between the pressure hulls, without penetrating them.ĭmitriy Donskoi submarine near the pier (left). The design of the Akula class submarines consists of multiple pressure hulls and separate modules located above them, namely command, torpedo, and stern. The boat was designed by the Leningrad Rubin Design Bureau under the leadership of Sergei Kovalev. The Project 941 or Akula, Russian (Shark) class submarine (NATO reporting name: Typhoon) is a type of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine.

The ТК-208 Dmitriy Donskoi ballistic missile submarine was the prototype of a series of six Project 941 Akula class (NATO reporting name Typhoon – ed.) submarines. The long operation lifespan is associated with the conversion of the vessel into a research facility to test the Bulava-M ballistic missiles, designed for the new generation of the Borei 995/995А project submarines. The Dmitriy Donskoi submarine was the first Project 941 Akula class submarine and was the longest-serving submarine of its type.

First, two nuclear reactors will be removed, then the rest of the nuclear power reactor, and then the entire steel structure of the boat will be demolished.
The ballistic missile submarine with hull number ТК-208 will wait for its disposal at the naval base in Severodvinsk.
