In Russia, the underwater cruiser "Arkhangelsk" was built on the water: what is known about the submarine

In fact, the Arkhangelsk submarine is the most classified ship of the underwater fleet of the Russian Federation. However, the developers have revealed some details, including the general characteristics and weapons of the submarine. In Russia, a multi-purpose atomic submarine (APCH) "Arkhangelsk" of the Project 885m "Yasen-M" was launched on the water. The submarine was placed in the pool, from where it was on the waterfront for further completion and testing.

This was announced on November 29 by the press service of Sevmash, located in Severodvinsk. In fact, it is the fourth submarine of this class-the previous three submarines of the Ashtin project, namely "Severodvinsk", as well as "Kazan" and "Novosibersk" of the "Yasen-M" project, already serve within the Naval Fleet of the Russian Federation. Western experts report that the construction of the Arkhangelsk APL was not difficult. The submarine was laid in 2015, after which funding problems began.

Such problems did not escape the Sverodvinsk APL, the construction of which was completely 20 years old, as it was laid in 1993. Russian propagandists call the Arkhangelsk atomic cruiser 885m "Yasen-M" the most modern submarine of the 4th generation, which absorbed "the best achievements of Russian shipbuilding. " According to them, only Russian plants were allegedly involved in the construction of the underwater ship in technological chains.

It is reported that in the near future the APL "Ashen-M" will become the main multi-purpose submarines of the Navy of Russia. Today, the submarines of this project are the most classified - even the submarine screws during the solemn descent ceremony were hidden by awning. Submarine "Arkhangelsk" has a watertone of 13800 tons, depth of immersion - 520 meters, crew - 64 people, autonomy - 100 days, underwater velocity - 31 knots.

The main weapons of multi -purpose submarines of this project are Kalibre and Oknik missiles, and they plan to equip them with supersonic missiles "Zircon", which Russian sources call them hypersonic. According to Mikhail Budnychenko, the General Director of Sevmash, all systems, mechanisms and materials of the underwater cruiser have been improved. "In particular, the elemental base of radio equipment complexes, the basic equipment is modernized, new materials have been used.

" Arkhangelsk "can perform a wide range of tasks - the fight against the underwater and surface ships of the enemy, to destroy protected coastal goals, in particular equipped with anti -ship defense systems. submarine and, accordingly, increased survivability. Probably a new cruiser will be introduced into the Northern or Pacific Fleet of the Russian Federation. Recall that a solemn ceremony of transmission of diesel-electric submarine "Mozhaysk" for VMF Russia.
