In 2013, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency announced that the Navy would scrap two Typhoons, beginning in 2018. Some became converted to carry cruise missiles instead of ICBMs. The remaining submarines received modernization and upgrades with new technology including quieter propellers and improved sonar systems. However, the end of the Cold War led to a decrease in the need for these massive submarines and several became retired from service in the 1990s. These advanced submarine, fitted with the latest generations of nuclear missiles, could operate from bases with tunnels for protection. The USSR’s strategic nuclear forces included a growing number of new TYPHOON-class and DELTA IV-class strategic ballistic missile submarines deployed in the 1980s. SSBN Typhoon or Akula (Shark) class submarine is a Soviet/Russian nuclear ballistic missile submarine.

This suggests that the submarine was at that time in full technical readiness.
In September, TASS reported that “Dmitry Donskoy” successfully completed the tasks of testing the Krasnoyarsk multi-purpose nuclear submarine (NPS) of project 885M (Ash-M) and the strategic nuclear submarine of project 955A (Borey-A) Generalissimo Suvorov “.
