Maybe, but it was not launched with the much ballyhooed nuke torpedoes - just the regular ones.

Russia has been pouring rubles into fleet modernization and primarily its subs. These are now on par with their US counterparts and various US admirals are screaming about the catch up ... China is about 3-5 years behind.
