After 41 years in Arctic waters, the giant Cold War weapon TK-208 “Dmitri Donskoy” is withdrawn from service, the Barents Observer reports.
The Typhoon was the largest class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines ever built. With a hull composed of two placed side-by-side, the 48,000 tons and 172-meter-long vessels could carry 20 missiles, each holding up to 10 nuclear warheads.
