Moscow presently has a fleet of Borei-class nuclear ballistic missile submarines which are not considered to infiltrate patrol zones.

But the most threats come from the Yasen-class submarine fleet, both the Kazan and the Severodvinsk have silent running technology that is so quiet, that it could enter the Atlantic Ocean and not be detected.

These new Russian subs have the capability of having the Kalibr and Oniks cruise missiles that can be tipped with nuclear warheads.

Although the French embassy, US Navy, and the British government, have all declined to comment on the rumors, as of this moment.

Recently, Putin has been actively displaying the Russian arsenal of new submarine ordnance in displays to the western allies. One of the highlights is the focus on the Kazan's missile a month ago.
