The fact that the Volkhov will be accepted into the fleet on October 24, was previously announced by the official representative of the Russian Navy, Captain 1st Rank Igor Dygalo.

The Volkhov diesel-electric submarine is the second Varshavyanka-class submarine in a series being built for the Pacific Fleet. Laid down on the same day as the lead diesel-electric submarine "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky" - July 28, 2017, launched on December 26, 2019. The lead submarine Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky entered the fleet on November 25, 2019. The third and fourth submarines, named Ufa and Magadan, were laid down at the Admiralty Shipyards on November 1 last year. The submarines are being built according to an improved design.

At the beginning of October 2020, it became known that Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Volkhov would arrive in Kamchatka next year, 2021. The submarine crossing is planned through the Northern Sea Route and will be completed in the summer.

This pleases Zhen .. There Australia is buzzing for a long time to send a squadron to them for reconnaissance!
Human rights are clearly violated there ..

Yeah, "we are strengthening" ... We write off the nuclear submarines and instead of them we are putting into operation diesel-electric submarines still of Soviet design. Under the late Soviet regime, the Northern and Pacific Fleets were provided exclusively with nuclear submarines. But then, under the Soviets, the fleets themselves were oceanic, and now, in "advanced and democratic" Russia, they are more likely the Barents-White Sea and Okhotsk-Chukchi than the Northern Fleet and Pacific Fleet ...

[musorg]

Don't cry Muller, everything will be fine!

[2 Level Advisor]

damn .. how pleasant it is to read such news! St. Andrew's flag is raised!
but not - it will be later, just about, planned, etc.
Seven feet under the keel, deep dweller!

It is especially pleasant to read that it was built in 2 years. Usually, articles on the construction of equipment talk about increasing the construction time.

nice to read that it was built in 2 years.

Standard "admiralty" terms, taking into account the total number of submarines of this project (636 and 636.3), built in several series, including export (PRC, Vietnam, Algeria). According to the "home" project 636.3, only the head submarine "Novorossiysk" was built for four years (2010-14), and then the usual two-year cycle followed. And they lay in pairs at once. After the series for the Pacific Fleet, there will be a series (3-4 corps) 636.3 for the BF (the contract for the first corps has been signed, preparations are underway for laying). There is still an order from India for a couple of buildings of Project 636, but they will still dance there. On the "change" campaign - contracts have been signed for the construction of three (so far) submarines of pr. 677 - the first will be laid by the end of the year, the next two - in the next, 2021. Therefore, they are already sawing iron. True, there is no information yet regarding where exactly these "Ladas" are going to serve.
So for the Admiralty, everything is going according to plan - the "boat conveyor" does not slow down.

Excellent! The Pacific Fleet is waiting for its first two (out of six) boats! I congratulate the Commander and Crew on the successful completion of the State tests.
Well ... so that the number of dives equals the number of ascents!

And so that the Andreevsky flag in the world ocean was in status! We go where we want, etc.

The main thing is to make it invisible to the Pentagon videoconferencing - United States Space Force.
Which carefully monitor the bases of our nuclear and so on. submarine and surface forces of the Navy.
It is clear why.

will arrive in Kamchatka next year, 2021. The submarine crossing is planned through the Northern Sea Route and will be completed in the summer.

As I understand it, they are already ready and are just waiting for the trail. summer to swim? If so, then the logistics are like in 1941.

From raising the flag to joining the combat strength, there is a lot to be done: checking all standard equipment and mechanisms with full load, live firing, etc. Only after all these procedures is the ship transferred to the fleet.

Pacific Fleet is waiting! Seven feet under the keel! Good luck to the crew!

[Thrifty]

Why not name the entire series in honor of the cities of the region where the boats will serve?

St. Andrew's flag was raised at the second Varshavyanka for Pacific Fleet Volkhov

It's nice to read the wording like:
- started developing the project;
- put into construction,
- launched,
- passes the test,
But most of all, it is pleasing to the ear - "St. Andrew's flag is raised!"

[Alien From]

Good news) keep the number of dives equal to the number of ascents!)

[anfreezer]

Meanwhile, today's news related to the Navy .. The gearbox for frigates 22350 has been successfully tested. Preparing for installation on a ship, two more are under construction ...

[Tests]

ficus2003 (Vitaly Frolov), dear, do you want to play as officers of the headquarters of the Baltic Fleet at least on a Yandex map? In the summer you have only 1 (one) not young deple of the Halibut project. And 1 (one) "Varshavyanka", but it is, as it were, not yours, but the Pacific Fleet. And by the fall, another 1 (one) new "Varshavyanka" appears, whose older sisters (or brothers?) "Veliky Novgorod" and "Kolpino" showed in the Sredezem Sea that the "Caliber" hits targets on the shore for 650-670 km ... Will the Caliber fly from the island of Gogland to the Amari skoka-skoka airbase? And if, within the framework of the exercises, by the spring, both "Varshavyanka" with "Calibers" reach Baltiysk? How long does Caliber fly from it to Copenhagen, Berlin, Warsaw and Prague? ... Pentagon theorists who dream of turning Kaliningrad into dust from the air will have to adjust their plans for this winter ... in the Barents Sea to shoot at Chizhe with "Calibers" is a common practice. RTOs "Green Dol" and "Odintsovo" this year also treated Chizha with missiles, before the shooting, together with the patrolman "Vasily Bykov", they checked the Belomor-channel. And what is harmful in such a transition for the fleet? Both military sailors have experience, and employees of the Belomor-Canal ...

And before the flag was raised, there were non-combat shooting? Throwing firecrackers or what?

In fact, outdated submarines of the last century without VNEU. Its sole purpose is to protect coastal waters. Surfacing every 3-5 days, unlike enemy submarines with VNEU, which can sit under water for 25 days. So all this is more like plugging holes with everything we have.

somehow the Japanese abandoned VNEU because of the increased noise ...

[Adimius38]

nevertheless, German submarines with VNEU are the most successful and valuable on the arms market. and don't think that our submarine is completely silent. Its SILENCE only at three nodes. And then it makes noise like any other

no need to attribute your speculations to me ... it's just that the turbine is much louder. than an electric motor ...
