Russian Malakhit design bureau has signed a contract with the Defense Ministry to design a fifth-generation multi-purpose nuclear-powered submarine.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia's St. Petersburg-based Malakhit design bureau said Monday it had signed a contract with the Defense Ministry to design a fifth-generation multi-purpose nuclear-powered submarine with construction to start sometime after 2020.

"A contract has been signed with the Defense Ministry on the development of a new-generation [nuclear] vessel. It is realistic to say that the construction may start after 2020," Malakhit's General Director Vladimir Dorofeev said in an interview with the Echo Moskvy radio.
