In the coming years, Russia plans to complete the modernization of three to five nuclear submarines, with at least five more ships in the pipeline. This concerns submarines of Projects 971 and 949.
The modernization of Project 971M began in the late 2010s with nuclear submarines of Project 971. These are the same ones that were once called Akula and Improved Akula in the West: "Leopard", "Volk", and "Samara".
The main change is equipping the submarines with the modern "Caliber" missile system, capable of using cruise missiles against both sea and land targets. Modernization of equipment is also planned.
The Russian Navy (VMF) currently has several nuclear cruisers of Project 949A, and they could also undergo modernization and continue to serve in the Northern and Pacific Fleets of the Russian Navy for a long time.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that footage of the last "Caliber father" in the Northern Fleet with "Granat" missiles has appeared.
