TSKB MT "Rubin": the submarine TK-208 "Dmitry Donskoy" is in good condition
Igor Vilnit, General Director of the Central Design Bureau of Marine Technology (CCB MT) Rubin, in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, revealed the condition of the heavy nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine TK-208 Dmitry Donskoy of Project 941 Shark.
The head recalled that currently TK-208 "Dmitry Donskoy" "provides testing of its more modern counterparts." "Now it is in good technical condition, but the service life of any ship, although long, is still, unfortunately, limited," the head said.
According to him, the future fate of the submarine will be determined by the fleet. "This is a unique submarine, which our general designer Sergey Nikitich Kovalev, due to the features of its design, rightly called the most reliable in the world," said Vilnit.
In September, Andrey Baranov, Deputy General Director of the Central Design Bureau of MT Rubin, spoke about the advantages of submarines of projects 636 and 877. According to him, these submarines are called black holes because of the acoustic low noise. Boats of the Varshavyanka type received low-speed rowing equipment, which improves the acoustic stealth of the submarine.
