Russian Navy to Procure Four New Submarines at 2020 According to Sevmash shipyard Director General Mikhail Budnichenko, the Russian Navy will get one nuclear submarine by the end of 2019 and four more in 2020.
Russia's Navy To Buy 40 New Vessels
With the aim of modernizing and overhauling its fleet, the Russian Navy plans to acquire 40 new vessels in 2014, said Rear Adm. Viktor Bursuk, the Navy’s deputy commander, reports Defense News.
The procured vessels will include a Borey-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, a Varshavyanka diesel-electric submarine and the search-and-rescue ship Igor Belousov, Bursuk told local news agency RIA Novosti.
The admiral, who is responsible for the Navy’s arms procurements, said that at least two diesel-electric submarines are to be added to the Black Sea fleet. The Navy already operates two Borey-class submarines.
Bursuk did not disclose the value of the planned acquisitions.
The procurements will be part of Russia’s plan to spend US $650 billion on new arms and military equipment for its armed forces by 2020.
In December, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that strengthening the Navy’s presence in the Arctic is one of Russia’s top defense priorities for the future. The announcement was made at a meeting of the Russian Defense Ministry’s board.
Russia’s third Borey-class sub ready for trials
A third Borey-class nuclear-powered submarine will soon begin trials in the White Sea, and a Russian Orthodox priest has blessed the sub and its crew, the Sevmash shipyard said on 10JUN13.
The first Borey-class submarine, the Yury Dolgoruky, was commissioned into the Northern Fleet in January, and the second, the Alexander Nevsky, will be handed over to the Russian Navy by the end of the year.
The first three vessels in the Borey series, also known as Project 955, are capable of carrying 16 Bulava submarine-launched ballistic missiles. A total of eight Borey-class submarines are to be built for the Russian Navy by 2020.
Sevmash will start construction this year of two upgraded Borey-class submarines under Project 955A – the Alexander Suvorov and the Mikhail Kutuzov – capable of carrying 20 ballistic missiles each.
Borey class submarines are to become the mainstay of the navy's strategic nuclear deterrent, replacing the aging Project 941 (NATO Typhoon class) and Project 667 class (Delta-3 and Delta-4) boats.
