Later this fall (possibly this month) the first new Borei-class (sometimes spelled Borey) nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) is scheduled to arrive at the Rybachiy submarine base near Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

At least one more, possibly several, Borei SSBNs are expected to follow over the next few years to replace the remaining outdated Delta-III SSBNs currently operating in the Pacific.

The arrival of the Borei SSBNs marks the first significant upgrade of the Russian Pacific Fleet SSBN force in more than three decades..

New SSBNs for the Russian Navy.The most important addition to the Russian Navy is undoubtedly the K-553 Generalissimus Suvorov strategic nuclear-powered submarine of Project 955A Borey-A.

The Generalissimus Suvorov is the sixth Project 955 Borey “boomer” overall and the third of the Borey-A version. The first three Project 955 SSBNs used hull sections from the unfinished Project 971 Shchuka-B SSNs, as can be seen from their silhouettes, while Project 955A is already the hydrodynamically optimized target model of the latest Russian SSBNs. Of these six ships, four Boreys joined the Pacific Fleet. One of them is Generalissimus Suvorov, which was assigned to the 25th Submarine Division based in Vilyuchinsk.

The Pacific Fleet (Russian: Тихоокеанский флот,^[1] translit: Tikhookeanskiy flot) is the Russian Navy fleet in the Pacific Ocean.

Established in 1731 as part of the Imperial Russian Navy, the fleet was known as the Okhotsk Military Flotilla (1731–1856) and Siberian Military Flotilla (1856–1918), formed to defend Russian interests in the Russian Far East region along the Pacific coast. In 1918 the fleet was inherited by the Russian SFSR, then the Soviet Union in 1922 as part of the Soviet Navy, being reformed several times before being disbanded in 1926. In 1932 it was re-established as the Pacific Fleet, and was known as the Red Banner Pacific Fleet (Краснознамённый Тихоокеанский флот) after World War II as it had earned the Order of the Red Banner. In the Soviet years, the fleet was also responsible for the Soviet Navys operations in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Red Banner Pacific Fleet was inherited by the Russian Federation as part of the Russian Navy and its current name was adopted.

The Pacific Fleets headquarters is located in Fokino, formerly Vladivostok with numerous facilities within the Peter the Great Gulf in Primorsky Krai, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Vilyuchinsk in Avacha Bay on the Kamchatka Peninsula in Kamchatka Krai. Following the APEC Russia 2012 summit, it was announced that the main naval base of the Pacific Fleet in the Russian Far East will be moved to the town of Fokino, Primorsky Krai. The current commander is Admiral Viktor Liina, who has held the position since April 2023..^]

俄羅斯總統普京20231211日在北德文斯克造船廠視察,並且出席了「亞歷山大三世號」和「克拉斯諾亞爾斯克號」兩艘核潛艦的升旗典禮。這兩艘新艦分別隸屬「北風之神-A」第四代核動力潛艦與「亞森」級多用途潛艦,將一同加入俄羅斯海軍的太平洋艦隊。

北約及美國的軍事觀察家分析認為,俄羅斯在全球海軍佈署戰略,有重大突破性的發展,首度增加俄羅斯海軍遠東太平洋艦隊的軍事攻擊實力,這樣一來完全針對美國海軍的太平洋艦隊,由此看來未來太平洋局勢會更顯示出緊張的狀態,不僅如此2024年中國海軍最新型的核子動力潛艦095-SSN.096-SSBN.都相繼服役,參加爭霸太平洋的戰爭遊戲...

Putin views Russia’s new nuclear submarines, says more being rolled out.

.Russian President Vladimir Putin has promised to strengthen Russia’s naval prowess after the country inaugurated two new nuclear submarines.

Putin travelled to the northern city of Severodvinsk to view the vessels, the Emperor Alexander III and Krasnoyarsk, at the Sevmash shipbuilding yard where they were built over the past six years.

The two submarines are due to join Russia’s Pacific fleet.

“With such ships and such weapons, Russia will feel that it is safe,” Putin told officials and naval officers at the ceremony.

The Emperor Alexander III is part of Russia’s new Borei (Arctic Wind) class of nuclear-powered submarines, each of them armed with 16 nuclear-tipped Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Borei is the first new generation of undersea vessels Russia has launched since the Cold War.

The Krasnoyarsk belongs to the Yasen (Ash Tree) class of multi-purpose submarines equipped with long-range, high-precision missiles that Putin said could strike targets at sea and on land.

.We will quantitatively strengthen the combat readiness of the Russian Navy, our naval power in the Arctic, the Far East, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Caspian Sea – the most important strategic areas of the world’s oceans,” Putin said.

Putin, who last Friday announced he would seek a fifth presidential term in an election in March, has repeatedly talked up the potential of Russia’s new generation of weapons, particularly its nuclear systems, and their value as a deterrent.

Security analysts say nuclear arms have assumed a greater importance in his thinking and rhetoric since the start of the war in Ukraine, where Putin’s conventional forces are locked in a grinding war of attrition with no end in sight.

Russia is building eight more nuclear submarines – three Borei-class and five Yasen-class.Russian lawmakers in October approved record military spending as Russia continues its war in neighbouring Ukraine.

普京在升旗典禮上表示,有了這樣水兵,潛艦與武器,俄羅斯就會感到自己是安全的。他也承諾將推出更多核潛艦,增強俄羅斯的海軍實力,根據俄國媒體報導,俄羅斯目前正在建造另外8艘核潛艦：包括3艘「北風之神」級核潛艦和5艘「亞森」級核潛艦。「北風之神-A」配備16枚可搭載核彈頭的布拉瓦洲際彈道飛彈,「亞森」則配備長程高精度飛彈。.
