About the quietest submarines of the Russian Navy
The Project 636.3 Varshavyanka submarines are equipped with low-speed propulsion electrical equipment. This has led to their acoustic stealth, making them virtually silent. In the West, these submarines are called "black holes".
"Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky" is a carrier of high-precision Kalibr cruise missiles. The submarine secures the interests of the Russian Federation in strategic areas of the Asia-Pacific region.
