The Khabarovsk class, or Project 09851 is a class of nuclear submarines under construction for the Russian Navy.

Development

The lead submarine Khabarovsk, was slated to be floated in June 2020. However, the launch was delayed till 2025.[1] This class of submarines is based on the Borei-class submarine's hull, but is significantly smaller as it does not have the ballistic missile section. Surface displacement is reported to be about 10,000 tons.[2] The class is intended to carry six Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System long-range nuclear torpedoes, and will be the second submarine to carry this weapon after missing name.[3] The class is also likely to carry anti-ship and land-attack missiles, in addition to torpedoes.[2][4]

Characteristics

A limited data available from open sources, suggest the following specifications for the submarine:[5][6]

  • length — 113 m to 135-140 m[7]
  • width — 10+ m to 13.5 m[8]
  • displacement — 10 000 tons
  • underwater speed — up to 30-32 knots
  • operational depth — up to 500 m
  • crew — 100 seaman
  • mission duration — 90-120 days

Units

According to the open sources, a total of three or four submarines have been ordered. However, while some sources suggest all the submarines are of the same class (Project 09851), others suggest that the follow-on boats could be from a separate class (09853).[2][9][10][11][12]
