"Prince Pozharsky" refers to the fourth generation of underwater nuclear submarines. The vessel is equipped with modern strategic missile and torpedo weapon complexes, improved navigation equipment, radio engineering and sonar weapons.

The designer is the St. Petersburg Central Design Bureau of Marine Engineering "Rubin."
It is noted that "Prince Pozharsky" embodied "advanced technological solutions, experience and traditions of domestic underwater shipbuilding." The armament of the submarine cruiser and technical characteristics will allow it to effectively perform all tasks for its intended purpose. The vessel is equipped with Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles.
