In St. Petersburg, at an exhibition dedicated to the 330th anniversary of the fleet and the 120th anniversary of the submarine forces, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Alexander Moiseev stated that Russia has been, remains, and will be one of the few powers capable of developing and building the most modern nuclear and non-nuclear submarines of all types.
Technological sovereignty in the field of submarine shipbuilding is the result of many years of work by the domestic engineering school. According to the admiral, this is backed by decades of development of design bureaus, shipyards, crew training systems, and accumulated combat experience. Moiseev noted that Russia is among the narrow circle of states that deploy the naval component of strategic nuclear forces exclusively on strategic missile submarines.
The fleet is successfully updating its submarine forces thanks to a comprehensive approach covering all stages – from design to operation. Modern projects, such as the Yasen-M nuclear submarines and the Borei-A strategic missile submarines, are already in service. The development of new models continues within the framework of the state armament program, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy stated.
Admiral Moiseev emphasized that the development of submarine forces is a collective effort of designers, shipbuilders, sailors, and scientists working to strengthen the country's defense capabilities.
