Nice looker, hope she's quieter than some of her predecessors.

The first of the series (the Severodvinsk itself) has older powerplant and other older systems. So while it is an improvement over Akula series, it is not quite revolutionary.

However the follow up boats (project 885M) have the new 4th gen powerplants, partial electric drive (for low speeds) and new electronics equipment.

p.s. by the way, is anyone interested in a short overview of old Soviet 4th generation projects and current Russian 4th/5th generation projects and 3rd generations upgrades?
