>>>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.<<<

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

When was the last time one went on patrol with a well-trained, experienced and sober crew? And did so without a Los Angeles or Virginia class boat stalking them.
