What I’d really be worried about is if he parked a couple of Typhoons off the East or West Coasts.

The Typhoons are a memory. All six have been retired and 3 have been scrapped. The other three are sitting with empty missile tubes as the R-39's have been retired from service. They may get the new Bulava missile, they may not. Probably depends on how successful the new Borei-class boomers are. Three are built, two are in active service. The remaining Typhoons will probably be scrapped.

Ah....I didn’t realize that. Thanks for correcting me.

Does Russia have JUST the Borei-class to work with? Do they have any other workable boomers to use? I mean...if I wanted to try to intimidate potential enemies, I would let the hint drop that this was a possibility.

7 Delta IV boomers are still in service with Russian Navy too.
