"
"When forming a prospective submarine-based basing system, it is important to have shipbuilding and ship repair facilities," the military department stressed, pointing out that "there must be favorable social conditions for the servicemen and their families to live, safe from natural and man-made threats."
"As a result, qualitatively new conditions must be created to ensure the deployment of submarines, which will be facilitated by the creation of a unified integrated system of basing nuclear submarines," the Defense Ministry concluded.
