Новую атомную подлодку «Оренбург» с торпедой «Судного дня» заложат на «Севмаше»

The submarine belongs to project 09853

Information has appeared online that in the near future, a ceremony for the official laying down of the Orenburg special-purpose nuclear submarine will take place at JSC "Northern Machine-Building Enterprise" (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, USC) in Severodvinsk.

The company has already produced souvenir products for the upcoming ceremony, and footage has appeared on social networks.

Presumably, the submarine belongs to project 09853 — a modified version of the Khabarovsk special-purpose nuclear submarine of project 09851.

The cruiser was laid down back in July 2014, but it is still under construction. Apparently, like the "Khabarovsk", the "Orenburg" submarine should be a carrier of the strategic underwater complex "Poseidon".

About the "Poseidon" complex

"Poseidon" is a high-speed, fully robotic, autonomous and deep-sea underwater vehicle with a nuclear power plant for delivering nuclear charges with a diameter of 1.5–2 m, a length of 16–24 m and a mass of about 100 tons.
