Will these new subs be any match for american type subs?
Also how do they plan to afford to buy 20 or so of these subs when there armys are low on budget as well????
Will this end up being a withdrawn project like so many others?

The Russian Navy has announced that 2006 will see the deployment of two new strategic nuclear missile submarines (SSBNs, a.k.a. "boomers") armed
with SS-NX-30 Bulava sea-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), a sea-launched variant of their new land-based SS-27 Topol-M ICBM. One sub will be a
restored Typhoon Class vessel, while the other will be a new SSBN class design.
The Project 955 or Borey is a new SSBN designed to replace the Typhoon and Delta IV submarines in service with the Russian Navy. Borey Class submarines reportedly incorporate a number of new advances, including improved quietness and the ability to carry 12-20 of the new SS-NX-30 submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs).
The TK-208 "Dmitry Donskoi" is a Project 941 (Typhoon) class submarine, six of which were deployed from 1981-1989 at the end of the Cold War. Since their original SS-N-20 missiles have reached the end of their service lives, all Project 941 submarines have been withdrawn from service except for the "Dmitry Donskoi," which has been used as a test platform for the SS-NX-30 missile and has been refitted for the system. It will re-enter active service in 2006.
In March 2004, construction begun in Severodvinsk on a second Borey Class sub, the "Alexander Nevsky". Though details are sketchy, the Russian Navy reportedly plans to procure up to 12-16 of these submarines through 2020. However, the future of the entire program and its final specifications remain uncertain owing to Russia's political and budgetary situation. There is little question, however, that the Borey Class subs are currently the highest priority in the Russian fleet.
The Russian SS-NX-30 Bulava, is an intercontinental-range, submarine launched, solid propellant ballistic missile. It is a submarine launched version of the SS-27 Topol-M, which represents the pinnacle of Russian ballistic missile technology.

Russia is set to begin testing the Bulava SLBM in 2004 on a Typhoon-class submarine, Moskovsky said. The missile is then set to be installed on three Borey-class submarines, which are scheduled to be operational by 2010, he said.
Each Borey-class submarine will be armed with 12 Bulavas, Russian defense industry sources said. Each Bulava, designed to have a range of more than 8,300 kilometers, is expected to be equipped with multiple warheads, according to Jane's.
The Borey-class submarine has a displacement of 17,000 tons, measures 170 meters in length and has a crew of 130, Jane's reported. The submarine is equipped with both a nuclear reactor for high speeds and a low-noise electric engine. The submarine is also equipped with the latest in underwater noise reduction measures, project officials said. (www.nti.org...)
I find it incredilbe that the with the retrofitted TYphoon class sub that Russia will only have 4 SSBN (even more incredilbe they only have the retro-fited typhoon is the only SSBN currently in service!!).
Even the UK has 4 SSBN's
