In total fourteen submarines were constructed. In 1982 an updated and larger version (Project 949A) replaced the earlier version. The first submarine of Project 949 was laid down in the mid-1970s and was commissioned in 1980. Only the Soviet Typhoon-class, Russian Borei-class and American Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines are larger. They are the fourth largest class of submarines in displacement and length. The Project 949 submarines were the largest cruise missile submarines in service until some Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines were converted to carry cruise missiles in 2007. Two other vessels were slated to be modernized since at least 2017 as Project 949AM, to extend their service life and increase combat capabilities but it is unclear whether work continues as of 2023. First built in the 1970s, six remain in service with the Russian Navy.
