Fresh shots of the Russian submarine B-90 "Sarov" leaving the base in Severodvinsk have appeared online. This is the only submarine of Project 20120, which remains completely closed to the media, although it has been in service for 17 years.
"Sarov" is an experimental submarine designed for testing modernized and developed weapons, deep-sea equipment, and the ship systems that support them.
Data on the length of the submarine vary, some authors claim 72 m, while others claim 98 m. Only the underwater displacement figure is voiced the same - about 4000 tons. The preliminary immersion depth is up to 300 m, however, some sources are sure that it can descend much lower.
There is no information about the power plant at the moment. Presumably, it is a kind of "energy installation of a completely new type" with unlimited underwater endurance. The submarine's armament is shrouded in secrecy. It is known for certain that it has two torpedo tubes and a secret launcher in the bow.
The abundance of rumors around "Sarov" can be explained by the fact that it is actually an underwater test bench on which you can install the latest onboard systems, advanced weapons or auxiliary engines. This approach is much cheaper than building a lead boat of a new project for many billions of rubles.
