Short range torpedoes make sense, the weapons on SSBNs are defensive in nature.

Well these are not of the Borei but I think they would look much like this:

^Those are from the Lada class submarine St. Petersburg

^That is from the Akula class SSN Nerpa

Do you mind if I ask where you got those pics, TLAM? They are amazing.

Amazing picture TLAM but it doesn't answer the critical question. Is Putin included in every submarine arsenal?

. I mean he's a tough one. When out of the tubes he'll do some serious damage to anything unfriendly to Russia :-)

Was thinking more like Putin clone army but that's scary enough

Putin launched from vertical ballistic tube, Putin launched from torpedo tube, Putin launched from conning tower, .....

[To fellow Russians don't take offence it's a joke :-D, really it is)

Wow. I figured that they were from a private collection of yours.

Not to knock the Russian tech, but Nerpa's cable arrangement looks like it could belong to an auditorium sound board.

The Nerpa may have export gear. She is going to be turned over to the Indian Navy soon.
