Nuclear submarine of the project 971 “Samara” will replenish into the Pacific Fleet (Tof) after its repair. Return is scheduled for 2023. It is reported by “Izvestia” with reference to the sources in the military department.
In addition to capital work on the atomic submarine, modernization will be carried out. It will establish new radio-electronic equipment, a number of nodes and mechanisms will also be replaced, and the premarket arsenal will replenish the Caliber’s winged missiles.
In this case, the submarine “Bratsk”, which refers to one type with “Samara”, will not restore.
“Samara” and “Bratsk” refer to the project 971 “Pike-B”. In the west of the submarines of this class are called “sharks”. These are multipurpose APLs intended for searching, detecting, tracking and destroying atomic submarines and opponent’s aviance groups. In addition, they are low noise, which allows them to be the first to detect the goal. Multipurpose submarines of the fourth generation of projects 885 “ash” and 885m “Clene-M” should come to the shift “Pikes”.
previously it became known that the modernized submarines of the project 949am will become the most armed Russian underwater carriers of the winged rockets, they will be able to carry up to 72 “calibers”, “onix” or “zirkon” on board. Such submarines will become “the most armed underwater carriers of the winged missiles in the Russian Navy.” The general ammunition of one submarine of the project 949am will be about a hundred units of missile, torpedo and rocket-torpedo weapons.
