Russia’s Admiralteiskie Verfi shipyard on Monday launched the construction of a Project 636.3 Kilo-class submarine.
The Rostov-on-Don diesel electric submarine will be the first in a five-sub series the shipyard is to build for the Russian Navy, Verfi’s acting chief Alexander Buzakov said.
He offered no indication as to when the submarine would be completed.
The submarine is expected to enter service with the Black Sea Fleet.
