26.2 billion rubles will be allocated in 2026 for the construction of the lead nuclear icebreaker of the Leader project, which was named "Russia". This data is contained in the explanatory note to the draft federal budget of the Russian Federation.
In 2028, funding will be 0 rubles.
The nuclear icebreaker "Russia" (project 10510) will become the most powerful icebreaker in the world. Its length will be 209.2 meters with a maximum width of 48 meters, and the total displacement will exceed 71 thousand tons. A capacity of 120 MW on the propellers will provide a speed of 12 knots (22.2 km/h) in ice 2 m thick.
Icebreakers of this project will be able to overcome ice at least 4 meters thick while moving continuously at a minimum speed. "Russia" will be equipped with two Ritm-400 reactor units with a capacity of 315 MW.
The icebreaker is planned to be completed by 2030.
