"Amur-1650"Rubin Design Bureau has presented new versions of submarines for the Russian Navy and international customers.
"Amur-1650" is designed primarily for export. A submarine of this type with a displacement of about 1800 tons is based on Project 677 Lada. She is equipped with six torpedo tubes. The crew has been reduced thanks to automation to 35 people. The power plant is represented by VNEU.
The hydrogen acting as fuel is not stored on board, but is produced and used instantly (which significantly reduces the risk of an accident). Diesel fuel is used as a distillate, on which diesel generators can also work. VNEU does not require maintenance up to the overhaul of the submarine.

"Amur-950"
"Amur-950" borrowed the design from "Amur-1650", but has a displacement of only 950 tons and a crew of 19 sailors. In Rubin, it is positioned as the optimal solution when performing strike tasks against submarines, surface ships, boats and enemy ground objects, as well as when conducting reconnaissance operations. One of the equipment options is the installation of the VPU for Club-S cruise missiles.

New version of the project 636.3
Another submarine presented by Rubin was a new version of the project 636.3. This type of diesel-electric submarines are currently being supplied to various fleets of the Russian Navy. Among the changes made, the possibility of launching Kalibr-PL cruise missiles stands out. The displacement of the submarine is 3,900 tons, the range is 7,500 miles. It can operate at a depth of up to 240 meters. Other improvements affected radar systems and equipment designed to reduce the acoustic signature of the submarine.

"Argus"
The concept of an autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle "Argus" with a displacement of 3.2 tons is shown. It is capable of operating at a depth of up to 6000 meters for 24 hours. Argus is reportedly designed to solve a wide range of tasks related to both the exploration and development of offshore fields and rescue operations. The device can operate as part of a group of five BPA.
