The dates for the return to combat of the modernized multi-purpose nuclear submarine "Leopard" of project 971 have been announced

Withdrawal of the nuclear submarine "Leopard" from the boathouse. December 2020

The modernized nuclear submarine "Leopard" of project 971, which underwent a major overhaul at Sevmash, is being prepared for returning to the combat structure of the Northern fleet. The transfer of the submarine to the military will take place this year. Vladimir Maltsev, head of the All-Russian Fleet Support Movement, spoke about this.

The Leopard nuclear submarine completed the slipway repair in December 2020 and was delivered to the outfitting wall to complete the work. It was planned that the submarine will be tested in 2022, after which it will be transferred to the combat structure of the Northern Fleet. For unnamed reasons, work on the nuclear submarine was extended, and now the Leopard is scheduled to return to service in December this year.

After the completion of a deep modernization and factory testing, the transfer of the Leopard to the fleet is scheduled for December 2023.

- leads TASS Maltsev's words.

The multi-purpose nuclear submarine K-328 "Leopard" was laid down at Sevmash on October 26, 1988, launched on June 28, 1992, and entered the fleet on February 5, 1993. She arrived at Zvezdochka at the end of June 2011. In May 2012, the ship was placed in a shed and work began on the dismantling of equipment. The work was delayed due to the delay in documentation from the designer of the SPMBM "Malachite".

According to the Ministry of Defense, the boat was repaired with a deep modernization. In the course of work on the submarine, electronic weapons, control systems, communications, navigation, hydroacoustics, and CIUS were replaced. The submarine received new weapons (KR "Caliber"), and acoustic visibility was also reduced.

The nuclear submarine Leopard is part of the 24th Animal Division of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy, together with the nuclear submarines Tiger, Vepr, Panther, Wolf, and Gepard.

Good news. More often such news, for any reason.

The deadlines have been named, it remains for little: to carry out all the Shi, KSHI of the GEM, to go to sea on the ZKhI and GI.
If we were talking about Sevmash, there would be no doubts, but there is no certainty about the Zvyozdochka, for them this is, in fact, the first such ship with a deep modernization.

On the "Star" what, the drawings are different? Or you doubt the qualifications of the OPR. In fact, the first two are "Gepard" and "Vepr", repaired by "Asterisk".

Our eternal problem is with repairs, with the commissioning of a new ship. Always, there are shifts to the right! The situation is the same with the frigate 22350, now they promise to deliver it in the second quarter of 2023.
The only thing that reassures us is that we build and repair ships and boats, but not like under the "democrat Yeltsin", who gave the Americans, with his "guillotine", combat nuclear submarines for destruction.

I am not a supporter of Yeltsin at all, but in fairness - under him, the fleet received, if my sclerosis does not lie to me, 11 multi-purpose nuclear submarines, types Antey, Condor and Shchuka B, a nuclear missile cruiser, a destroyer and a BOD - not counting the little things ... If anything I messed up - I'm sorry, I'm writing from memory. And it was the "fun 90s"

apart from the little things...

"Kuznetsov" was taken away from under the nose of the Ukrainians.

in 1991-2000, a total of 26 submarines were delivered to the fleet (not only submarines)
vs
From 2000 to 2003, only one submarine was commissioned: the nuclear-powered multi-purpose submarine cruiser Gepard in 2001
From 2003 to 2019, the Russian Navy received 15 submarines (not only diesel ones, of course)
Like so.

It was the completion of those laid down under "damned socialism". By the way, not all of them were completed - at the Amur plant, to this day, at least 70% of the Schua-B-type submarines are ready ... To complete it, but you can see that there has long been no one there. Maybe then drag it to Bolshoy Kamen to the shipyard there too? ... But for this it is necessary to pay off the plant ... but the bourgeoisie do not want ... if only for free and with a surcharge, then maybe they thought. And as a result, the Pacific Fleet remained practically without MAPLs.

Agree. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation even now fight only at the expense of the reserves created by the civilization of the USSR.

everything we produced was of no use to anyone. Because our galoshes

but that's not the point.
in those 90s (hungry, gangster, "when the oligarchs pulled the country apart")

when the future president

Quote: V.V. Putin

Sometimes I had to work as a driver. It is unpleasant to talk about it, but, unfortunately, it was also

completed.
And the naval base in Kamran was not closed, and the RTR center in Lourdos was kept ...

Yeltsin lovers, you operate with facts, distorting, many nuclear submarines as well as ships were laid down in the USSR and the direction of Yeltsin was transferred to the fleet only by inertia.

Yes Yes.
Wouldn't it be sold to China and India for needles or for re-equipment.
They completed the construction, with a hole in the budget, without super profits from oil / gas.

Yeltsin lovers, you operate with facts, distorting, many nuclear submarines as well as ships were laid down in the USSR and the direction of Yeltsin was transferred to the fleet only by inertia ... Now tell me how many boats, ships and ships were laid down and launched without delay for decades during his reign?
