Victor-IVs are actually fairly fresh (layed down 1988-1991, completed 1990-1992), as they were constructed in paralel to the true 3rd gen SSNs (ie Akulas).

But I dont think that Victor-IVs would get refits and thus would be dumped with the 3rd gen SSNs that do not get it.

Then we have 12-14 SSBNs, special purpose subs, SSKs and so on.
