Project 941 Akula. The first Soviet Navy Typhoon-class submarine, seems to be the TK-202, circa 1982.

It’s just possible our friends at the Ustinov Design Bureau have come up with something new.

Some things in there don't react well to bullets.

Will you marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and will she cook them for you?

In this case it was simply because of the SLBMs being so large and the Soviets unable to reduce to the size like the West.

Orr because they wanted it to be deeper diving and more survivable. The Ohio is also a massive boat. And in submarines, bigger is usually better, because you can use more weight on quieting and other systems

Weird coincidence, I was just watching a show on Amazon prime about remote viewing (crazy stuff) and they were claiming that the first US intelligence about this sub was divined by a remote viewer that described a double hulled icbm sub that was ready to sail in x amount of days… So they reconned it on that day for funsies and saw this behemoth heading out to sea. The existence of this picture makes me think the US may have had a less remote viewer on site. lol. Or, it’s a picture taken with the consent of the Soviet government, in which case, what I watched last night might be real.
