Russia to Lay Keel for 1st Varshavyanka-Class Sub for Pacific Fleet in 2017
10:36 GMT 26.10.2016 (Updated: 11:06 GMT 20.10.2022) Russia will lay down the first Varshavyanka-class Project 636 stealth submarine for the country's Pacific Fleet in 2017, the Admiralty Shipyard's Director General Alexander Buzakov said Wednesday.
ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) — In September, Buzakov said that the shipyard planned to deliver six Varshavyanka-class submarines to the Pacific Fleet by 2021.
"The keel laying ceremony [of the first submarine] will take place in the fall of the next year," Buzakov told reporters.
The
Varshavyanka-class is an improved version of Kilo-class submarines that features advanced stealth technology, extended combat range and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets.
The vessels, carrying crews of 52, have a top underwater speed of 20 knots and a cruising range of 400 miles (electric propulsion), with the ability to patrol for 45 days.
