Despite its modern specifications and potential, the Borei class program has faced numerous delays and challenges. The development of its key weapon, the RSM-56 Bulava missile, encountered technical problems and multiple failed test launches.

By 2010, the Borei class began to enter service, becoming an essential element of Russia’s strategic deterrent capabilities.
