The network posted a photo showing the tail section of a promising Chinese submarine. It can be a multi-purpose submarine Type-095 or a carrier of strategic ballistic missiles Type-096.

The construction of new submarines is one of the key (if not the key) aspects of increasing China's military and political power in the Pacific region. Therefore, special attention is focused on the issue.

According to the publication Naval News, we probably for the first time can see a new type of nuclear submarine being built for the Chinese Navy.

Last year, experts drew attention to a picture of the Chinese Bohai shipyard in Huludao, a city district of Liaoning Province in northeastern China. The photo showed signs of active work. The new image shows the tail section of a promising Chinese submarine. According to experts, we can talk about one of two new submarines: this is either the first Type-095 multi-purpose submarine, or the lead submarine with Type-096 ballistic missiles.

Both ships are part of a large-scale program to expand the capabilities of the Chinese Navy. It is expected that the Type-095 will be comparable to the US Navy submarine type "Virginia" — one of the most dangerous multi-purpose nuclear submarines in the world, belonging to the fourth generation. In turn, the Type-096, being a new strategic submarine, will be able to bring the nuclear missile potential of the People's Republic of China to a completely new level.

It is too early to draw concrete conclusions. To finally shed light on the construction of nuclear submarines can afford a new photo.

China has long shown interest in re-equipping its submarine fleet. The problem is long overdue. Currently, the Chinese Navy distinguishes several types of nuclear submarines, including the strategic submarines of the project 094 "Jin", which look similar to the Soviet submarine of the project 667BDR"Kalmar". According to experts, Chinese nuclear submarines do not fully meet the requirements of the time and they cannot be compared with the most powerful American submarines.

Russia is also actively rearming its submarine forces. In January, it became known that [...] two new strategic submarines of the fourth generation of the project 955A were ordered for the Russian Navy: "Prince Potemkin" and "Dmitry Donskoy". The boats will be the ninth and tenth ships of Project 955.

At the same time, the newest and most advanced multi — purpose Russian submarine — the project 885 submarine- is considered as the carrier of a new hypersonic weapon.
