As countries around the world pay more and more attention to the ocean passage, nuclear submarines play an increasingly important role in the combat effectiveness of modern navies.
By 202 1, the research and development and operation costs of nuclear submarines all over the world have reached record highs.
No.5 Russian "Ural" nuclear submarine
The Russian "Ural" nuclear submarine was built on 20 19. It is a four-and-a-half-generation nuclear submarine of the Russian Navy. It is one of the latest generation of strategic nuclear submarines made in Russia, which is used for ocean surveillance and global nuclear deterrence. Its cost is about1400 million dollars, which is a typical example of applying the most advanced technology to the military field.
The biggest feature of this submarine is that it adopts the world's first integrated third-beam ultrasonic transducer. This technology can achieve extremely high sonar resolution, which makes Urals' detection ability much stronger than that of previous nuclear submarines, and its internal ejection port length and easy storage are also excellent.
No.4 American nuclear submarine "Pennsylvania"
The American nuclear submarine "Pennsylvania" was built in 1992. It is a ballistic missile nuclear submarine of the US Navy, and its cost is about1500 million US dollars.
Named after Pennsylvania, the submarine represents an important part of the US Navy. "Pennsylvania" is equipped with 24 Trident II ballistic missiles, which can be launched underwater to attack global targets. At the same time, it can also carry a large number of radars and special equipment, making it more convenient for nuclear submarine operators and technicians.
Russian No.3 nuclear submarine Blatov
The Russian nuclear submarine Blatov was built on 20 17. It is a four-generation semi-nuclear submarine of the Russian Navy, with a cost of about $65.438+56 billion.
Like the Urals, it was developed for global nuclear deterrence. In addition to carrying nuclear warheads underwater, the submarine can also carry missiles, effectively preventing other countries from threatening Russia's security. At the same time, Blatov's sonar system is unique in the world, which can be used for ocean surveillance under various conditions.
British nuclear submarine Smart 2
The British "Smart" nuclear submarine was built on 20 19. It is a new strategic nuclear submarine of the British Navy, with a cost of about $2.6 billion. The British Navy plans to replace the existing "Pioneer" class strategic nuclear submarine with this submarine.
The biggest highlight of "Smart" is that it is equipped with the most advanced UAP nuclear reactor, which improves the energy output and can run continuously underwater for 25 years. In addition, the submarine's stealth and endurance are also extremely advantageous, and it is considered to be one of the first choice brands of British nuclear submarines.
65438 +0 American "Virginia" class nuclear submarine
The "Virginia" class nuclear submarine in the United States was built in 2004. It is a new type of nuclear submarine of the US Navy, with a cost of about $3.4 billion. This submarine is one of the most expensive military projects of the US Navy in recent 20 years.
"Virginia" class nuclear submarine is loaded with many high-tech equipment, such as solid-state missile control system and electronic warfare equipment, which will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the submarine. At the same time, the comfort construction of submarine has been successfully completed, which can basically meet the various needs of submarine soldiers.
Nuclear submarines have become an important part of naval combat effectiveness. It contains more and more complex high-tech equipment and professional technology, and its manufacturing and research and development costs are also rising all the way. The future expansion of nuclear submarine cost is likely to become a reality.
