MOSCOW, March 24. /TASS-DEFENSE/. The Project 11356 frigates (NATO reporting name: Admiral Grigorovich-class) ‘Admiral Makarov’ and ‘Admiral Essen’ of the Black Sea Fleet have conducted a training session to repel an attack of a simulated enemy’s naval task force and to perform counter-unmanned aerial vehicle (C-UAV) operations, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).

“According to the scenario of the exercise, the shore-based reconnaissance systems of the Black Sea Fleet detected an unrecognized unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying over the [Black Sea] Fleet’s objects. During tracking procedures, [the systems] detected its landing on the deck of a simulated enemy’s ship,”



Russian MoD
The commanders of the Black Sea Fleet ordered to interrupt the operations of the UAV. The ‘Admiral Makarov’ and ‘Admiral Essen’ frigates detected a simulated enemy’s surface task force. When the Russian ships were approaching the platforms, they were attacked. The frigates went into action and repelled a missile attack using air defense systems and active/passive jamming. Then, the crews destroyed the simulated enemy with the use of missile weapons and artillery.

Three Russian nuclear subs surface from under Arctic ice for first time, says Navy chief

Military & DefenseMarch 26, 18:13

A comprehensive Arctic expedition, Umka-2021, is underway in the area of the Franz Josef Land archipelago, the Alexandra Land Island and the adjacent waters with the participation of the Russian Geographical Society, the admiral reported

NOVO-OGARYOVO, March 26. /TASS/. Three Russian nuclear-powered submarines simultaneously surfaced from under the ice at a distance of up to 300 meters from each other for the first time in history during Arctic drills, Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

"As part of the Arctic expedition, three nuclear-powered submarines surfaced from under the ice in a limited space with a radius of 300 meters for the first time in the history of the Russian Navy," he said.

A comprehensive Arctic expedition, Umka-2021, is underway in the area of the Franz Josef Land archipelago, the Alexandra Land Island and the adjacent waters with the participation of the Russian Geographical Society, the admiral reported.

"For the first time, a set of combat training, scientific research and practical diverse measures in underway under the single design and plan in subpolar regions," he noted.

The expedition involves over 600 servicemen and civil personnel and about 200 items of armament, military and special hardware. Currently, the average air temperature in the area is minus 25-30 degrees Celsius while the ice cover is 1.5 meters thick and the wind is 32 m/s.

5 Ways The Russian Navy Could Target Undersea Internet Cables

Few corners of the submarine world are seen as sneakier than covert operations against undersea communications cables. It is estimated that 97% of global communications are transmitted by undersea cables. This includes trillions of dollars of financial transactions. These cables have been described as 'Indispensable but insecure'. They are thought to be particularly vulnerable to the Russian Navy's seabed warfare platforms. And it is not just internet traffic which could be under threat, but energy infrastructure, military communications and sensor networks.
H I Sutton 07 Apr 2021

The Russian Navy has unique undersea warfare capabilities designed to operate on undersea cables. This could include planting listening devices or, in extreme cases, breaking the connection. And Western Navies are taking it seriously. In response to this the Royal Navy recently announced that it will commission a dedicated cable defense vessel by 2024. So what is the shape of the threat it is designed to counter?

When fears of internet outages caused by underwater sabotage are raised, we often hear that breakages are quite common. Boat anchors do snag cables and this is relatively quick to fix. But these are in shallow water because a ship cannot anchor in the open ocean, it is too deep. Russian seabed warfare capabilities on the other hand can easily reach about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet) depth, and some systems can go much deeper.

Russia’s ‘seabed warfare’ capability is centered on the Main Directorate of Undersea Research. Known in defense circles by the Russian acronym GUGI (Glavnoye Upravleniye Glubokovodnykh Issledovaniy) they are more formally refereed to as Military Unit 40056. They are widely suspected of being in charge of more than ‘research’. GUGI operates a large secret naval base called Olenya Guba (‘deer bay’) near the famous Kola Peninsular in the Russian Arctic. All of the below capabilities can be found there.

1. Special Mother Submarines Carrying Smaller Submarines
Some of the world’s largest submarines are not those armed with ballistic missiles, but actually spy submarines. Russia has an established practice of converting submarines to carry special deep-diving nuclear powered submersibles, known as AGS, under their bellies. The host submarines are based on types which are already large, but they are stretched to accommodate the AGS. Currently two converted Delta class subs are used but an even bigger Oscar-II conversion, Belgorod, is expected to join them.

The AGS can dive to around 1,000 meters (3,280 feet), possibly deeper. They can work on the sea floor for several days at a time before docking again with the host submarine. This capability is discrete and has global reach, not least under the ice cap where regular ships cannot venture.

The most famous AGS is called Losharik, named after a cartoon horse which was made out of a string of orbs. This references its unusual titanium hull construction. Losharik suffered a serious accident on July 1 2019 and remains out of service. But it is expected to be returned to service in the next few years. In the meantime Russia has others.

2. Yantar, the best known Spy Ship
Few ‘research’ ships have attracted as much attention as GUGI’s ship Yantar. She is suspected of deploying remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and crewed submersibles over undersea internet cables. Initially she was easy to track because she conformed to the research vessel norm of broadcasting her position via AIS (Automated information System). But since last year she appears to turn her AIS off when it suits her, a privilege for military vessels. Yantar’s true capabilities and mission are likely to remain ambiguous, yet she is operating in the shadows on the very edge of legitimate scientific research.

3. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Russia has been catching up with the West in terms of underwater drones. The main type is the Klavesin 2P-PM which can dive to around 2,000 meters (6,560 feet), although some sources suggest even deeper. The deepest diving of the related models is the Vityaz-D which can reach at least 10,028 meters (32900 feet). This brings anywhere on the sea floor within their grasp. Currently these AUVs are mainly for inspection or intelligence gathering. But Russian firms are working on new models with manipulator arms which could increase their threat to cables.

AUVs are generally carried by the special mission host submarines. But they are small enough that they can be launched from other vessels covertly, including from merchant ships. The deeper diving types tend to only travel a few miles laterally so the support vessel might need to loiter nearby.

4. Dual-role submersibles
Not every task requires the relatively expensive Losharik deep diving submarine. Russia started using its deep-diving rescue submarines for other seabed tasks many years ago. They weren’t well suited and one got into serious trouble in 2005 and had to be rescued by a Royal Navy team. But the latest Bester model is designed with this dual role in mind and is advertised for seabed operations. Like the Losharik it can be carried on the ginormous special mission host submarines.

5. Trained Beluga Whales
The Russian Navy’s marine mammal program largely escaped notice until a tame Beluga Whale turned up in Norway in April 2019. There were however already signs of its gaining importance. In late 2018 marine mammals, likely dolphins, were deployed to the conflict in Syria. And a Beluga whale pen was moved from its usual home to the GUGI’s main base at Olenya Guba. This associates the Beluga program, and possibly the seals and dolphins, with GUGI. Although unconfirmed, it is plausible that Beluga whales could covertly reconnoiter undersea infrastructure. They are the ultimate stealthy operator and can dive to depths of about 1,000 meters (3,280 feet).

Russia develops submersible patrol ship

April 16, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic

Russian submarine designer Rubin Design Bureau revealed it has developed a submersible patrol ship combining the features of a submarine and a surface patrol vessel.


Photo: Rubin
Named Sentry (Border and Offshore Submersible Sentry, BOSS), the concept is intended for foreign clients, according to Rubin.

Offshore patrol vessels are relatively inexpensive, which makes them affordable for countries with constrained budgets. Their operation is profitable because they can be used to prevent illegal trade, poaching and other law infringements. Ships of this type are multi-functional and can be used as patrol ships, and as rescue or research vessels as well. Equipment for the new ship comes mostly from surface ships and aircraft and is commercially available, the company said.

As explained, the ability to dive allows the ship to carry out discreet surveillance operations and evade harsh weather conditions without aborting the mission.

A submersible ship can be used as a submarine, for intelligence, surveillance & reconnaissance (ISR), as well as other missions. Seabed research capability of the submersible patrol ship would be wider than those of a surface ship.

It can also serve as an inexpensive training vessel to give crews seagoing experience and prepare the infrastructure before purchasing traditional submarines at a later stage.

In its architecture and outline, the ship resembles the Soviet Union’s Whiskey-class diesel-electric attack submarines (Project 613). Basic parameters are also much the same, with the surface displacement of around 1,000 tons, overall length of 60 to 70 metres depending on the configuration, and the crew of up to 42 people including the boarding team.

There will be large pressure-proof containers that can be used to store rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The latter’s launch sequence will be automated, not requiring the presence of people on the ship’s open deck.

The ship can be fitted with torpedoes, small guided missiles and autocannon.

Russian Project 955A Borei-A SSBN Knyaz Oleg Starts Sea Trials

The Knyaz Oleg Borey-A-class SSBN of project 955A began its first test sortie on May 30, a defense industry source told TASS.
Naval News Staff  31 May 2021

By TASS Russian news agency

“The Knyaz Oleg sailed to the White Sea late on May 30,” the source said.

Sevmash Shipyard, which builds the SSBN, refused comment.

It was initially planned that the Knyaz Oleg would join the fleet on the Navy Day on July 25. However, the source said it is unlikely, as the submerged submarine has yet to test fire Bulava ICBM from the Barents Sea at Kura range in Kamchatka.

The Russian Navy operates four SSBN of projects 955 and 955A. Besides the Knyaz Oleg, Sevmash is building another three SSBN. Each submarine carries 16 Bulava ICBM. Navy Commander-in-Chief Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov earlier said the Knyaz Oleg would join the Navy by the end of 2021.

Russia’s Black Sea Fleet To Get Two Karakurt-Class Corvettes This Year
The Black Sea fleet of the Russian Navy is to receive two latest Karakurt-class corvettes of project 22800 armed with Pantsir-M air defense this year, the Izvestia daily writes quoting Defense Ministry sources.
Martin Manaranche  03 Jun 2021

By TASS Russian news agency

Crews for the new corvettes have been formed. Both warships will operate in the 41st brigade of missile ships. They are to join the fleet by the end of the year, however the time may be postponed.

The sources said the Tsiklon and the Askold corvettes are built by Zaliv Shipyard in Kerch. The Tsiklon was floated a year ago and is undergoing trials. The Askold is at the final construction stage.

The Black Sea fleet will get upgraded project 22800 corvettes armed with better weapons than predecessors. In particular, they carry Pantsir-M air defense launcher. The corvettes can fire Kalibr and Onyx missiles. The body of the warships is made with stealth technologies.


The Odintsovo is the first project 22800 corvette armed with Pantsir-M air defense launcher. Russian Mod picture.
“Project 22800 corvettes carry eight cruise missiles each. Kalibr can strike at coastal and sea targets.”

“The corvettes will reinforce the 41st brigade of missile ships, which is important, as NATO warships regularly sail close to Crimea. The corvettes were built by Zaliv Shipyard in Crimea, which stood idle for a long time.”

Expert Dmitry Boltenkov
NATO has been actively developing military infrastructure in the Black Sea area.

“Project 22800 warships can strike at NATO forces in the southeastern flank, where the Americans are building missile defense objects.”

Expert Dmitry Boltenkov
The Navy currently operates three project 22800 corvettes — the Mytishchi, the Sovetsk, and the Odintsovo. They all operate in the Baltic fleet. A total of 18 corvettes are to be built and equally shared by the Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea fleets. Before 2018, the corvettes were named after natural phenomena: Hurricane, Typhoon, Storm. It was then decided to name them after Russian small towns.

The Defense Ministry is actively supplying new warships to the Black Sea fleet. In the past years, it received six diesel-electric submarines of project 636.3 and project 11356 frigates. The fleet is to receive the Retivy corvette of project 20380 by the end of the year.

The Ladny escort ship of project 1135 is returning after a five-year overhaul. The Moskva cruiser is also returning after a long overhaul. The warship and the crew have been licensed for blue-water missions.

Black Sea fleet warships constantly operate in the Russian Mediterranean force. New submarines of project 636.3 and project 11356 frigates participated in the Russian operation in Syria. They fired Kalibr cruise missiles.

Russia's Newest Submarines Are "On Par With Ours" According To Senior American General
The head of U.S. Northern Command says that Russia's Yasen class submarines are set to present a "persistent proximate threat" to the United States.
BY JOSEPH TREVITHICK JUNE 16, 2021



A senior U.S. military officer has again sounded the alarm about the threat that advanced, very quiet, cruise-missile-armed Russian submarines, as well as Chinese ones, increasingly present to the United States. At a hearing on Capitol Hill yesterday, U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck, who is head of U.S. Northern Command and the U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command, told lawmakers that Russia's growing fleet of nuclear-powered Yasen class guided-missile submarines, in particular, are nearly on par with U.S. Navy types in terms of quietness and will present a persistent threat to the American homeland unlike any before within five years. He added that, at its current pace of modernization, the Chinese Navy would not be behind for long in terms of similar capabilities.

VanHerck made these comments before members of the House Armed Services Committee during a hearing on missile defense on June 15, 2021. The general was one of five officials testifying before the Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, the others being Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Nuclear and Missile Defense Policy Leonor Tomero, Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Director Navy Vice Admiral Jon Hill, U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command head Lieutenant General Daniel Karbler, and U.S. Space Command chief Space Force Lieutenant General John Shaw.


The Russian Navy's Yasen class submarine Severodvinsk.

"Russia just fielded their second Sev class [submarine], which is on par with ours," VanHerck said at one point, as part of a response to a question about threats that fall below the nuclear threshold that potential adversaries pose to the United States. "Within a five-year period, they'll have eight to nine of those submarines, which will be a persistent proximate threat off of our east and west coasts that we haven't had ever in the past."

The "Sev class" boat VanHerck was referring to was the Kazan, which was formally commissioned into Russian Navy service in May. Kazan is the second submarine in the Project 885 Yasen class, which NATO refers to as the Severodvinsk class after the name of the lead boat. It is also the first boat in a new subclass, known as the Project 885M Yasen-M class. Russia has four more of the multi-mission Yasen-Ms already under construction and is presently planning to build at least eight boats in this subclass, in total.

Earlier in the hearing, VanHerck, in the context of cruise missile defense, another area of growing concern to the U.S. military, in general, had talked about Russian submarines that were "advanced, very quiet, nearly on par with ours." This also appeared to be a reference to the Yasen class.

Severodvinsk, which is set to be the only example of the original Yasen design, has eight large payload tubes that can be configured with different configurations of vertical launch system (VLS) cells to accommodate different types of missiles. Reported loadouts include up to 40 Kalibr subsonic cruise missiles, variants of which are intended to be used in anti-ship and land-attack roles, as well as differing amounts of other weapons, such as the Oniks supersonic anti-ship cruise missile. The shadowy Zircon hypersonic cruise missile could also be part of its arsenal in the future.

The Yasen-M design is shorter, by up to around 40 feet, but reportedly still has eight large payload tubes, allowing it to fire the same mix of existing and future missiles. Reports also say that Kazan and its future sisters lack the large flank-mounted sonar array found on Severodvinsk, but have gained improvements, including to their reactor plant and elsewhere that focus on reducing their acoustic signatures.

The Severodvinsk was already understood to be very quiet, something that General VanHerck has now publicly confirmed. Low acoustic signatures make the Yasen and Yasen-M class designs, which you can read more about in detail here, very hard to detect and track, and then, in the event of an actual conflict, engage.

"In the not too distant future, five to 10 years, China will be in the same position," VanHerck also said during the hearing, referring to similar advanced Chinese submarine developments. This includes the continued development of new variants of the Type 093 Shang class, another modern nuclear-powered type that is reportedly very quiet and can launch cruise missiles from its torpedo tubes. There had been reports that the improved Type 093G version might have VLS cells, but no subsequent evidence has emerged to support this.

General VanHerck's comments yesterday are very much in line with remarks that Navy Vice Admiral Andrew "Woody" Lewis made last year. Lewis was and continues to be the head of U.S. 2nd Fleet, as well as NATO's Joint Force Command-Norfolk. The Navy reestablished 2nd Fleet in 2018 specifically in response to growing threats in the Atlantic Ocean, including from Russian submarines.

"Our ships can no longer expect to operate in a safe haven on the East Coast or merely cross the Atlantic unhindered to operate in another location," he said at a gathering jointly hosted by the U.S. Naval Institute and the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in February 2020. "We have seen an ever-increasing number of Russian submarines deployed in the Atlantic, and these submarines are more capable than ever, deploying for longer periods of time, with more lethal weapons systems."

VanHerck's remarks also come just months after the Russian Navy made a dramatic display of some of its submarine capabilities when it had three boats capable of firing nuclear-armed ballistic missiles surface close to each other in the Arctic, an area of growing strategic significance. Knyaz Vladimir, the first and, to date, only in-service example of the improved Borei-A class, another design reported to be very quiet, was among the submarines that took part in that exercise.

The general's comments about both submarines and cruise missiles are also interesting when remembering that the Russian Navy's Project 949A Oscar II class guided-missile submarine Omsk made an unusually public appearance near an outlying part of Alaska last year, sailing on the surface near St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea. That had, in turn, prompted an equally unusual public statement from U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) that it was monitoring the boat's activities.

The Soviet-era Oscar IIs have a distinctive hullform that is very wide in order to accommodate 24 missile launchers, 12 on each side, in long sections between their inner and outer hulls. Each one of these launchers can be loaded with a single P-700 Granit anti-ship cruise missile, which NATO also refers to as the SS-N-19 Shipwreck. Deep overhaul-retrofits will see these older Soviet-era missiles replaced by more modern ones. Russian has previously announced plans to modernize at least one Oscar II class boat, the Irkutsk, with new launchers able to fire the Zircon hypersonic cruise missile.


A picture of the Oscar II class submarine Smolensk showing the type's distinctly wide-bodied design.

The potential for Yasen and Yasen-M class boats, along with older Russian submarines, as well as various types of surface warships, to carry Zircon is part of separate and growing concerns about the threats that missiles able to reach hypersonic speeds present to American forces. “It’s important that we have that capability now because the hypersonic threat is there now," MDA head Vice Admiral Hill had said at a separate hearing before members of the Senate Armed Services Committee last week in a response to a question about the need for hypersonic defense systems, especially sea-based options to protect Navy aircraft carriers.

At the hearing yesterday, Hill stressed that when he talked about hypersonic weapons, he was talking about a broad category that included missiles tipped with highly-maneuverable unpowered boost-glide vehicles, very-fast-flying air-breathing cruise missiles, and advanced ground-based and air-launched ballistic missiles, which reach extremely high velocities in their terminal phase of flight.

"Dog-leg maneuvers just right off the bat, maneuvering in space, what I call range-extensions," Hill told the members of the House Armed Services Committee in terms of developments just in advanced ballistic missile performance capabilities. "They're all hypersonic when they come back into the atmosphere."

"What used to be a very predictable ballistic profile, that has now changed and it's a challenge to the sensor architecture," he continued. "It's very important that we continue to invest in the sensor capacity that we have against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise [missiles], because they are converging and they're coming at us across that whole integrated air and missile defense domain."

"I remain concerned about my ability to defend the homeland as our competitors continue to develop capabilities to hold our homeland at risk, from all vectors, and in all domains," General VanHerck had said in his opening remarks at the hearing, where he also raised concerns about non-kinetic threats, such as cyber attacks.

The potential difficulty in detecting Russian Yasen and Yasen-M class guided-missiles submarines, as well as other increasingly quiet designs that Russia and China are developing, combined with the ever-more-advanced weapons they can carry, look to only be further complicating this overall threat picture. As a result, the situation is increasingly prompting warnings from those with the best available information that America's advantage in key strategic areas is eroding.

Yasen-M Class SSGN ‘Novosibirsk’ Begins Its Sea Trials

The Project 885M Yasen-M class nuclear-powered attack submarine Novosibirsk has gone to the White Sea for shipbuilders sea trials for the first time, a source in Russia’s defense industry told TASS.

“On July 1, the Novosibirsk submarine went to the While Sea for shipbuilders sea trials for the first time,” the source said.

The press office of the Sevmash Shipyard refused to comment on the information provided by the source.

Earlier, Head of the Sevmash Shipyard Mikhail Budnichenko told TASS that after the shipbuilders sea trials the submarine would begin state tests. It is planned to be delivered to the Navy at the end of 2021.

Analysis main differences between Project 885M and Project 885 SSGN

Sevmash is building four SSGN of project 885M — the Krasnoyarsk, the Arkhangelsk, the Perm and the Ulyanovsk. In 2019, a contract for another two submarines was signed. They are to be laid on May 9, 2020.

Sevmash Shipyard launched the Novosibirsk K-573 first serial SSGN of Yasen-M-class project 885M on December 25, 2019.

Fourth-generation SSGN of project 885 and 885M have a displacement of 13800 tons. They can submerge to 600 meters and develop underwater speed of 30 knots. The light hull covers only a part of the solid hull in the bow to decrease the signature. For the first time the torpedo launchers are located behind the central compartment instead of the bow. The submarines are armed with Onix and Kalibr missiles, as well as torpedoes.
