MOSCOW, April 18. /TASS/. The carrier of unmanned underwater vehicles "Poseidon" the nuclear submarine "Khabarovsk" of project 09851 will be launched next autumn. This was reported to TASS by a source in the military-industrial complex.

"The launch of the Khabarovsk has moved by several months - from May to the autumn of 2021," he said.

The press service of Sevmash (part of the United Shipbuilding Corporation), where Khabarovsk is being built, did not comment on the source's information to TASS.

Previous plans assumed that this event would take place in May of this year.

About the submarine

Khabarovsk is the second carrier of Poseidons. The first-the submarine "Belgorod" of project 09852 - was launched on April 23, 2019. Its transfer to the fleet was planned for September of this year. Initially, the submarine was built according to the 949A project, but later it was re-commissioned according to a special project. Both Belgorod and Khabarovsk should carry six Poseidon vehicles each.

For the first time, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the creation of the underwater vehicle, later named "Poseidon", in a message to the Federal Assembly in March 2018. According to the president, such drones can be equipped with both conventional and nuclear weapons, which will allow them to hit a wide range of targets. The drone must have an unlimited range and a working depth of more than 1 km.
