To clear something up.
In service:
Northern fleet:
4 victor III
6 akulas
6 kilos
3 oscar II's
6 delta IV
1 typhoon as a trials boat
2 bories are currently on trail 1 building upto 10 planned in total
2 kilos are active in the baltic fleet with the lada under trails and 1 kilo alrosa is active in the black sea
Pacific fleet:
3 delta III
2 Oscar II's
7 kilos
5 akulas
as for the refitting for oscar II they are big noisey boats that are now getting old the youngest unit is around 15 years old now so its time they got something newer cheaper and more effective, however the missiles they do carry are very good and there isnt much if anything in any western armed force that could match the SS-N-19 shipwreck.
