The Russian submarine "Ufa" (project 636.3 "Varshavyanka") serves as a platform for launching one of the most advanced Kalibr cruise missiles. Submarines of this class are equipped with advanced acoustic, radar and sonar systems that make them difficult to track and detect. This was written by military expert Peter Suchiu in an article for The National Interest.
The lead boat of project 636.3 "Varshavyanka", "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky", was handed over to the Russian Navy in the fall of 2019. At the same time, the "Ufa" was laid down at the Admiralty Shipyards. In November 2022, it became part of the Pacific Fleet.
Varshavyanka-class submarines have acoustic stealth, long-range target detection, the latest inertial navigation system, an advanced automated information and control system, more powerful high-speed torpedoes and advanced missile weapons.
Submarines of this class will strengthen the Pacific Fleet, the expert is sure. In the West, it is called the "Forgotten Fleet", because until the "pivot to Asia", Russia neglected it. Now it is equipped with "silent and deadly" "Varshavyankas".
