After years of sea trials and missile test launches, the Borei class nuclear-powered submarine Yury Dolgoruky has officially became part of the Russian Navy. The sub and its siblings are to be part of Russia’s nuclear deterrence shield.
The official ceremony of raising the Russian Navy colors on the submarine on Thursday was led by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. The Yury Dolgoruky is the lead vessel of the Borei family, the most modern nuclear-powered strategic submarines made in Russia.
