Project 885: Yasen class

I think it is journalistic nonsense for now.
Only way the boat will have that sort of range- if they navalize Kh-101. That has clearly not happened yet, so I think Kalibr range is what we have.

Launch pics!

Trials, same time as pics above.

In the Navy they had the Granat or SS-N-22 cruise missile which has evolved into the Klub and Kalibr missile family that can be launched from the standardised UKSK launcher along with the Onyx/Brahmos/Yakont.

PROJECT 885 has uksk universal launchers.
But project 885M has different specifications.This information is confusing since long time.
They are not clear in what differences are betweek Pr 885 and Pr 885 . 

Now it says the cruise missile on the Yasen class subs has a range of up to 5,000km... does that mean that they have a new variant of Kalibr that has double the range of Granat (note Granat is the subsonic cruise missile with a 2,500km range and nuclear warhead... not the Granit, which is a 7 ton Mach 2+ anti ship missile).

"ONE" of the cruise missile for Pr885 is Kaliber-P(K) whatever. It has a range of 2500 km.I dont know about other cruise missiles.


Not much information is coming out.
That Granit 7 ton missile was developed in 1970-80. I dont think(it is even possible to deploy that of pr885, every system is changed in that).


The info about missile weapons is npt forth coming.

Launched work on 3rd project 885 - Novosibirsk (if I understand it correctly)

According to todays plans Russian navy plans to have 7 project 885 by 2020 with more to follow afterwards. 

\"Sevmash" lay a third nuclear submarine project "Ash" the Day of the Navy wrote:It is planned that in the future submarine project "Ash" will be the main Russian multipurpose nuclear submarines

MOSCOW, June 25 - RIA Novosti. Bookmark "Sevmash" multipurpose nuclear submarine of "Ash", which received the name of "Novosibirsk", is scheduled for the Day of the Navy, celebrated this year on July 28, said on Tuesday the company's press service

"This missile will be the third in a line of multi-purpose submarines of" Ash ", designed by the St. Petersburg Marine Engineering Bureau" Malachite ". <...> Head submarine series -" Severodvinsk "- is now undergoing government testing in the sea," - said in a statement.

Clarifies that the submarine "Kazan", laid down in 2009, and work is continuing, it is in the main stacker shop "Sevmash".

"Kazan" and "Novosibirsk" are based on the upgrade projects. The press service noted that the changes relate to the element base complex electronic equipment, upgraded equipment and materials, which will exclusively supply the Russian manufacturer.

It is planned that in the future submarine project "Ash" will be the main Russian multipurpose nuclear submarines.

Very costly ships these man ..  almost 2.5 billion usd /SHIP ..
 inspite of ruble devaluation work going on. . at full speed  

Max man.. 

So 20 more days until we see the celebration

A third nuclear submarine "Ash" plan to lay July 26

Considering the amount of time they take to build this subs , they should lay down all the 7 885M class by 2015 so that by 2020 they would have all sub in service.

Interesting thing is that Russian new generation of winged cruise missiles fired from the sub/ship/air/ (and I would not exclude the word "ground" either) has range of

5000+ km. Kalibr and Kh-101 and R-500 eventually (or much bigger after Russia quits INF) might have the same range. West has nothing to counter these threats.

The Project 885 vessel is designed to launch conventional or nuclear warhead-bearing missiles up to 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers), as well as effectively engage other submarines, surface warships and land-based targets.

Kh-101 is an air launched missile.

885M will carry Kalbir Missile which has a range of 2600 km and the infamous Hypersonic Zircon-M missile not sure where it stands.

Yes I know, I was trying to make a point that it seems that new generation of Russian winged missiles (fired from subs, surface ships and air (that only leaves ground)) comes with 5000km range.

Well article could be wrong but according to it its 5000km range.

Problem here is slip space considering Sevmash also is working on 955. And money. You can lay down 20 boats one year, if funding isn't stable it will take 20 years to finish them.

I stick to my estimate that there will be 5 855 boats AT BEST in service by 2020. Probably 4.

Russia to put first Yasen-class nuclear-powered submarine in service on Dec 25

Cthulu comes back to port.

Finally ... work has started on a third 885

New Russian Attack Sub to Have Advanced Sensors

RIA Novosti

13:08 26/07/2013

MOSCOW, July 26 (RIA Novosti) – Russia's latest Project 885M Yasen-class attack submarine will have an advanced sonar system allowing it to detect enemy ships at an early stage, the submarine's engineering bureau said on Friday.

The Novosibirsk, the third of eight Yasen-class boats (designated Graney-class by NATO), is to be laid down at the Sevmash shipyard near the White Sea on Friday.

The boat's designer, the Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau company said ahead of the ceremony that the new Yasen-M will be have an advanced design that would significantly increase its ability to detect enemy vessels at speeds far higher speed that those of its predecessors.

Its bow section will be "acoustically clean" and will be entirely dedicated to housing sonar systems, with the torpedo systems relocated to another part of the boat, according to the company.

In order to reduce noise and increase its stealth capability, new power supply and acoustic defense systems have been developed for the boat, Malakhit said.

In addition to the torpedo tubes, the Yasen class will be armed with a multirole missile system including a vertical-launcher for cruise missiles. Both the torpedo and missile tubes could be used "for a variety of weapons without being specially re-equipped," the company said.

Sevmash plans to deliver the Severodvinsk, the first Yasen-class nuclear attack boat, by the end of this year.

The submarine's armament will include 3M55 Oniks (SS-N-26) and 3M54 (SS-N-27) Kalibr cruise missiles and conventional torpedoes, rocket-torpedoes and mines, according to Malakhit.

The second Project 885M vessel, the Kazan, was laid down in 2009 and is already under construction at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk.

Thats good one. But still it does not tell about the weapon systems aboard the 885M project.

Finally

What is the 3rd picture about. There is a huge circle with advertisements " BOARDS" .
wHAT ARE the boards?Which companies or agencies do they represent?
