Western analysts made Russian APP class "Yasen-M" to the top 10 submarines

Western Army Recognition analysts have published the TOP-10 shock atomic submarines, which included the family of Russian API-M class. In their rating, experts relied on the ranking of submarine by their state of combat readiness, technological features and combat capabilities in the middle of 2025. In the top three, there were submarines, including American Virginia Block V, Russian "Yasen-M" and the French Barracuda.

Virginia Block V submarines have become the largest modernization in the history of this project. In underwater waterboard, more than 10 200 tons of submarines are equipped with a 25-meter combat load module (Virginia Payload Module), which allows up to 40 winged Tomahawk Block V. winged missiles. The submarines also received fiber -fiber sons, photonic masts, water drill and the possibility of deployment of autonomous submarines.

The service life of the S9G nuclear reactor exceeds 30 years without the need to replace fuel. Virginia Block V is also adapted for special operations and surgery in coastal waters. The unique advantage of the highest shock power among all shock submarines, which combines multitasking, unsurpassed intelligence and observation (ISR) and prolonged autonomy, which makes the submarine the most capable shock atomic boat (SSN) in the world.

The submarines of the 885m-M class project are Russia's response to increased tensions in the oceans. Their displacement in the underwater position is 13,800 tons. The OK-650B. 02 reactor provides autonomy of up to 30 years. The submarine body is made using acoustic insulation and durable steel, which reduces the visibility at depth. Weapons include 32 vertical launchers for Caliber, Onyx and Zircon, as well as 10 torpedoes.

This makes "Ayen-M" the world's first submarine armed with hypersonic missiles in combat configuration. In combination with the modern MGC-600 hydroacoustic complex, the boat is optimized for distant patrolling in the ocean and the Arctic. The unique advantage of the world's first submarine with capable hypersonic weapons and a strategic radius of great depth, which gives Russia a universal and powerfully armed APL, optimized for high -intensity maritime operations.

The Barracuda French program has become a new stage in the development of the country's underwater forces. The first boat "Suffren" was in 2022, the second-2023. This class submarin has a water tonality of 5 300 tons and is equipped with a K15 reactor. The Thales S-Cube Hydroacoustic Complex and Sycobs combat system provide high-precision threat identification and weapons management. Weapons include winged MDCN missiles (range more than 1000 km), anti -ship missiles ExOCET SM39 and torpedo F21.

The unique advantage of the only European shock atomic submarine, equipped with winged strategic ranges, water driver and complete functionality for special operations, which is adapted for NATO expeditionary missions and in the Indo-Pacific.
