Russian special forces will receive submarines P-650
The submarine was developed by the Malachit Central Design Bureau and received the unofficial name Superpiraña. According to the General Staff of the Navy, the P-650 is regarded as a specialized carrier and support boat for special operations units. The decision on them will be made after specifying the final appearance.
The submarine has a length of 55 m and a width of 6,4 m, the maximum depth of the dive is 300 m, the range is 2 thousand nautical miles, the crew is 9 people. Can take aboard up to 6-ti combat swimmers. Armament: four torpedoes caliber 533 mm, eight - caliber 400 mm. In addition to them, 12 bottom mines are placed in special bomb-holes located between the strong and light hull of the boat.
The boat originates from the ultra-small submarines of the Soviet fleet project 865 "Piranha".
According to military expert Vladimir Shcherbakov, “the interest in ultra-small submarines is primarily caused by the appearance of strike and sabotage ships in the US Navy.”
