"Dmitrov – - the DAPL of project 877 ("Varshavyanka"). Such boats are the quietest and, as a result, difficult to detect by Russian submarines. This is ensured by the absence of noisy power units, a verified streamlined shape and a special hydroacoustic coating of the hull.
"Varshavyanka" can counteract both underwater and surface ships, and are designed to protect naval bases, the coast and sea communications.
