"Russia’s
submarine fleet has undergone swift renewal over ten years. The submarines
Yuri Dolgoruky, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh are protecting
our country’s frontiers," Fedotenkov said. "The submarine Severodvinsk has also completed its operational trials," he added. The Project 885 nuclear-powered submarine Severodvinsk armed with missiles and torpedoes was laid down in 1993 and delivered to the Russian Armed Forces for operational evaluation in late 2013. The next submarine Kazan is being built under the updated 885M project. It was laid down in 2009. © Copyright 2015 TASS. All rights reserved.
