While it took more than 20 years from start of construction to operative service for the “Severodvinsk” and 11 years for the “Kazan”, the “Novosibirsk” is likely to show a more normal construction time for the class.

“Novosibirsk” was laid down in July 2013 and is expected to enter service by the end of next 2020.

There are currently four additional Yasen-M class submarines under construction at Sevmash yard; the “Krasnoyarsk”, “Arkhangelsk”, “Perm” and “Ulyanovsk”. Contracts for two more, yet to be named, are signed and their construction is said to start in mid-2020.

If there is a war we can only speculate which side will win ...

This ain't no football game

Can't wait to see the Virginia class SSN's UAW images of the new Russian boats

It was closer to 7,7 years on the slipway for Kazan or comparable to other European boats.

Yasen and both Yasen-M submarines launched so far have screws.


As does the Laika/Husky:

The Russian defense ministry probably swaps out the screw for the real secret propulsor after all the celebrations.

The submarines in ikalugin's library pictures are the ones you have to worry about ... You can hear the surface craft pinging 60 miles away

Plenty of time to turn tail and run, but then the bad boys on helio's will hear you too. Perhaps we all should just say, "Peace unto you brothers"

I don't get you

Why? Screws work unless you absolutely need to maintain high tactical speeds in shallow waters and we plan to operate SSNs in deep waters.

This might not bode well for the next decade

I mean while our rates are similar to Europeans they are still way behind US.
