Being based on rich experience and the best Russian traditions of the submarine shipbuilding Project 636 has been nicknamed “Black hole” for its low noisiness.
If compared to the third-generation foreign competitors, the submarine has proved its high reliability and better noisiness, firepower, weapons stocks and floatability specifications.
The submarine is effective against groups of ships and can efficiently search for submarines and destroy them. Project 636 as well can deliver strikes against critical land facilities and set minefields.
