Russia's new nuclear sub completes first round of sea trials

Awfully long boat for only 16 birds. And with a speed of 29kts how much you wanna bet she's got 2 reactors on-board?

The released specs on this boat are interesting to say the least. Oh and I wouldn't count Russia's navy out of any races yet. While a good chunk of their fleet is rusting away (that's what you get when you have to build 5 boats to every US 1) they are stepping up their Deterrent Patrols.
