Too bad it is liquid fueled.
R-39 missile which Typhoon used was too big - 90 tons compare to 32 tons for Trident I and 59 tons for Trident II.
Russia still can't replicate the American technology from 1990s.
Oh really then what do say to fact that the new Yasen class submarine is superior to the Virginia-class.
Weapon and Technology: Project 885 Yasen / Granay (Severodvinsk class)
Above statements are extremely generalised & I will refrain from coomenting..I think the Ohio class SSBN is the most superior by far, less noise and smaller size can carry more SLBMs and more MIRVs.

Sir I feel you are mistaken; here again I provide you the link..care to study the table comparing trident with Sineva. Yield is lower than Russian counterparts ++ you totally have excluded the no. of warheads parameter in your analysis.Also the W-88 warhead of Mark 5 is also superior to any Russian sea-based warhead.

New Recruit
Pak should buy one!! That would give us a guaranteed 2nd strike capability--the reason these were made in the first place. The idea was that they lie under the ice poles for up to six months and then resurface to launch all their nuclear warheads. Each one has about 15 odd nuclear SLBMs with MIRVs so each Typhoon has around a 100 nukes!! Awesome firepower --it was the most feared weapon of the cold war.
Got to admit the Russians are awesome at weapon design!! I read that these things are so huge they even had a swimming pool inside for the recreation of the sailors!! The movie Hunt for Red October featured a fictional Typhoon submarine -- it scared the US shitless when they found what the Soviets had in this sub!
