Moscow. 19 October. Interfax - The
Admiralty Shipyards has completed the sea part of the state tests of a large
diesel-electric submarine of project 636 "Ufa" in the Baltic Sea
ranges, in November it will become part of the Russian Naval Forces,
Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Admiral Nikolai Evmenov said. His words
were quoted on Wednesday by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.
"During the tests, the functioning
of a number of ship devices, mechanisms and equipment, as well as hydroacoustic
and navigation systems was tested. The submarine successfully completed dives
to various depths, the crew and employees of the Admiralty Shipyards checked
and assessed the maneuverability and controllability of the submarine on
different chassis depths," Evmenov said following the meeting, which
discussed the issues of non-nuclear submarine shipbuilding.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy was
informed that the submarine is currently undergoing revision and finishing at
the Admiralty Shipyards in preparation for signing the acceptance certificate.
"Issues of service maintenance of
diesel-electric submarines" Ufa "were further worked out. Repair and
technical documentation for submarines of project 636 was developed by the 51st
Central Design and Technological Institute of Ship Repair, which has rich
experience in this area," the Defense Ministry said.
Ufa, the fourth submarine of the series
for the Pacific Fleet, was laid down in November 2019 with the participation of
the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.
Submarines of the modified 636 project
have a higher combat effectiveness compared to previous projects. The optimal
combination of acoustic stealth and target detection range, the latest inertial
navigation system, a modern automated information and control system, powerful
high-speed torpedo-rocket weapons provide the world priority for ships of this
class in the field of non-nuclear underwater shipbuilding, the Russian Defense
Ministry emphasizes.
As Yevmenov noted earlier, “until 2024,
the Russian Navy plans to receive the entire series of six Project 636.3
diesel-electric submarines being built at the Admiralty Shipyards purposefully
to equip the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet.”
