Submarine "Kalmar" will be removed from the composition of the Pacific Fleet
At the same time, two of the three nuclear-powered submarines of the 667BDR Kalmar project - the George the Victorious and the Podolsk, which are currently based in Kamchatka, will be withdrawn and disposed of from the Pacific Fleet.
According to experts, these are reliable submarines with high combat potential, but they have almost exhausted their resources.
To date, "Squids" remained only on the Pacific Fleet. Each such cruiser carries X-NUMX P-16P liquid rockets.
The submarines of the 667BDR project became real “workhorses”, “the naval component of Russia's strategic nuclear forces in the 1990s and 2000s,” noted naval expert Dmitry Boltenkov.
“Podolsk” (given its name in 1998) can be called a legendary boat: “in 1980, the submarine made a long-distance transition under the Arctic ice from the North to the Pacific Fleet, for which the campaign commander and submarine captain received the stars of Heroes of the Soviet Union,” reminds the newspaper.
