![]() The submarine has eight bow torpedo tubes (four 650mm and 4 533mm) with a total number of 40 torpedoes and cruise missiles (12 650mm and 28 533mm). In principle, weapons of the Project 971 submarines are similar to weapons of Project 945 titanium attack nuclear submarines which were designed and built in Sormovo (Nizhny Novgorod). The Chief Designer of Akula was Georgy Tchemyshev the Chief Navy Supervisor was Captain 1 rank Igor Boganchenko. ![]() Petersburg’s Central Design Bureau Malachite which designed the first Soviet attack nuclear submarine November class (Project 627 A), first serial production attack: submarines of the Victor class (Projects 671, 671RT, and 671RTM) of the second generation and some other submarines. The second very important mission, which was really first implemented on this SSN, is her ability to strike land targets on ranges up to 3000 kilometers by her 533mm caliber Granat cruise missiles. She also can destroy other submarines and surface ships by her torpedoes, missiles and mines. The Project 971 submarine is earmarked, first of all, for sweeping, detection, and shadowing of an adversary’s ballistic missile nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers and destroying them with beginning-of-war actions. submarines, are the backbone of the Russian SSN force. These submarines together with 26 Project 671 RTM and seven Project 671 RT submarines (Victor classes), which are comparable tD the initial 688 class U.S. Note: NATO designation ls Sierra) are the most advanced Russian SSNs and they are approximately comparable tD the American improved-688 class attack nuclear submarines. These submarines and four Project 945 titanium submarines (E.d. They were built in Severodvinsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur shipyards and were commissioned tD the Northern and Pacific fleets of the Russian Navy. In the 1984-1996 period the Soviet and Russian shipbuilding industry built 16 Akula class (Project 971) nuclear attack submarines.
