MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian Navy will commission on November 24 the sixth and final Varshavyanka class diesel-electric submarine built for deployment with the Black Sea Fleet, navy spokesman Capt. 1st Rank Igor Dygalo said Wednesday.
"Russia's Admiralty Verf shipyard will hold the commissioning ceremony for Kolpino diesel-electric submarine [Project 636.3]," Dygalo said. "The sub is the final in the series of six boats of this class built specifically for the Black Sea Fleet," the official added.
The Varshavyanka class is an improved version of Kilo-class submarines that features elements of advanced stealth technology, extended combat rang,e and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets. The submarines are mainly intended for anti-ship and anti-submarine missions in coastal waters.
The Varshavyanka-class (Project 636.3) is an improved version of Kilo-class submarines that features elements of advanced stealth technology, extended combat range and the ability to strike land, surface and underwater targets.
The vessels, carrying crews of 52, have a top underwater speed of 20 knots and a cruising range of 400 miles (electric propulsion), with the ability to patrol for 45 days. The submarines are mainly intended for anti-ship and anti-submarine missions in coastal waters. In September, the Russian Defense Ministry and the Admiralty Shipyards signed a contract on the construction of six additional Varshavyanka-class submarines by 2021.
The sixth Varshavyanka submarine was set afloat on May 31. Currently five project 636.3 submarines are on duty. The first two - The Novorossiysk and the Rostov-on-Don were handed over to the Navy in 2014. Another two - The Stary Oskol and The Krasnodar - followed in 2015. The fifth - The Veliki Novgorod entered duty in October 2016.
A sixth diesel submarine of project 636.3 (the Varshavyanka family) - The Kolpino - built for the Black Sea Fleet has entered service, a TASS correspondent reports.
Project 636.3 submarines were developed at the central design bureau Rubin. They have a speed of 20 knots, endurance of 45 days, crew of more than 50, surface displacement of 2,000 tonnes and underwater displacement of about 4,000 tonnes.
At the end of 2015 the Rostov-on-Don, while on a mission in the Mediterranean, launched cruise missiles Kalibr at targets of the terrorist group calling itself the Islamic State (outlawed in Russia) in Syria.

Russian marines get "Ratnik" infantry combat system - Navy
MOSCOW. Nov 27 (Interfax) - All members of the Russian naval infantry have received the "Ratnik" combat gear system with a floating bulletproof vest, the Russian Navy coastal troops' deputy chief Dmitry Gnezdilov said.
"The Ratnik combat gear system has been delivered to all naval infantry units," he said on the Ekho Moskvy radio station on Saturday.
The "Ratnik" for marines is distinct in that it has a special floating bulletproof vest called "Korsar," Gnezdilov said. "It is not inflatable, with it a marine can swim calmly in water," the coastal troops' representative said.
Shipments of modern types of equipment for the naval infantry continue, Gnezdilov also said. "This year we finished fitting out the Northern Fleet with BTR-82As [armored carriers]," the colonel said.
The Ratnik system is a combat gear system, also referred to as "the future soldier kit."
The "Ratnik" is part of a wider project to raise the quality of every soldier on the battlefield by using the latest scientific achievements in the field of navigation, night-vision systems, monitoring of a soldier's mental and physiological condition, and advanced materials in the manufacture of armor and clothing fabrics. The system is a complex of modern means of individual protection, communications, weapons and munitions.

VINA DEL MAR (Chile). Dec 2 (Interfax-AVN) - The development of strategic naval nuclear forces will become a priority of the new state armament program for the period of 2018-2025, Russian Military Industrial Commission board member Vladimir Pospelov told Interfax-AVN on Thursday.
"The development of strategic naval nuclear forces is a top priority. It organically entails the development of the entire fleet, arms and branches of the Armed Forces sustaining strategic nuclear forces," Pospelov said.
This is the question of all components of Russia's nuclear triad, he said.
"This applies to strategic ground and airborne nuclear forces, as well. These are orbital groups, transfer of combat commands and many other issues which, in the end, accomplish an integral, systemic task," Pospelov, head of the Military Industrial Commission board's shipbuilding council, said.
Projects of ships, support vessels, aircraft and other combat hardware are proposed in the interests of the development of strategic naval nuclear forces from the angle of this logic, Pospelov said.
The Russian Armed Forces came to the 21st century with the national security priorities formed earlier, he said.
"I can definitely say that strategic nuclear forces are the ones that currently ensure global interests of Russia and some other nations - the United States, the UK, France, Germany and a number of others. This is an indisputable element of stability of the global, world scope," Pospelov said.
Since the time of emergence of the nuclear triad, the development of its naval, airborne and ground components has been a priority of state armament programs, he said. "It was so yesterday, it is so today and I am positive that it will be so in the foreseeable future. This is the priority that will guarantee the protection of our national interests in any development scenario," Pospelov said.
He noted the efficiency and might of strategic nuclear forces as a major element of strategic stability and said it was necessary to improve information support and automated control systems of the naval component of the national nuclear triad. "In particular, this is the question of combat sustainability of groups of strategic naval nuclear forces. This is an element of general naval forces. The new state armament program will put emphasis on some other issues, as well," Pospelov said.
As to financing of the state armament program in 2018-2025, he said he had taken part in the formation of three state armament programs.
"There is never too much money: no matter how much we offer, the entire sum will be spent. Yet there are now certain limits imposed here and in many other countries," he said.
Pospelov referred to a number of commanders of Latin American navies he met at the Exponaval 2016 international naval show, which ends in Chile on Friday.
"There is a dilemma: navy commanders want one thing and national administrations tell them they could afford this and could not afford that. This is where scenarios of the development of national naval forces have to be chosen. The primary objective is to correctly distribute funds the government can provide for achieving the tasks set by the national administration to the maximum," Pospelov said.
The Russian Navy has been developing for years with a focus on the World Ocean, which is particularly topical considering the current geopolitical situation, he said.
"Far from all countries possessing a substantial fleet is able to traverse the World Ocean. We are objectively oriented towards that since the epoch of Peter the Great and we are always trying to meet this objective, both our shipbuilding industry and the federal executive agencies accomplishing these tasks. Heads of the Defense Ministry and the Military Industrial Commission are aware of the contemporary challenges and duly respond to them," Pospelov said.
The new state armament program incorporates all those factors, he said.

142951 Russia contracted for another seven Project 12700-class coastal minesweepers for its Navy, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Adm. Vladimir Korolev said Friday. ST.PETERSBURG (Sputnik) — Project 12700 vessels are designed to detect and destroy mines at safe distances on naval base territory.
The first ship was laid down in 2011 and launched in 2014, with a total of four vessels set to be built.
The minesweepers have a full displacement of 890 tonnes and are 61 meters (200 feet) in length and 10 meters wide.
"We have definitely planned and already contracted for another seven vessels within this project, in the long-term perspective we are planning to [contract] for more than 40 vessels within this project,"
Korolev said at a handover ceremony of the Alexander Obukhov minesweeper to the Navy. In 2014, the Russian Defense Ministry said that the country’s Navy would receive new minesweepers by 2019 under project 12700.
