I dont think the Project 677 boats will take off or replace the 636.3 Kilo simply put they are not of the best design and they have already had major set back both in build and deployment

I can only say that i think it will be likely production of this type will cease after the 3rd unit is completed and they will likely just become test or training boats with limited deployments.

I think you are right @Kapitan.
The Lada class boats are built and used exclusively as test vehicles for various machine configurations as well as the resulting design.
Evolutionary is then likely to result in the expected Kalina class.

I try to sensitize people with my articles about submarines with AIP drive and modern stealth design.

A German type 212A would have to "friendly" ram a Seawolf class, so that on the Seawolf even realize that this Uboot is there.
And that's no joke. :yep:
