The agency has no official confirmation of this information.

Earlier it was reported that by the end of this year "Sevmash" will transfer three nuclear-powered submarines to the military: the strategic "Prince Oleg" of the "Borey-M" project, the multipurpose strike "Novosibirsk" and the special-purpose nuclear submarine "Belgorod". The latter is expected to become the first carrier of Poseidon submarine drones in the fleet.
