Russian Navy Inducts New Generation
'Kazan' Nuclear Submarine
Russia’s most potent nuclear powered submarine, Kazan, the
lead vessel of the Yasen-M project was today inducted into its
Navy.
The Project 885M Yasen-M nuclear submarines can carry carry

the Zircon (Tsirkon) hypersonic missiles.
The induction ceremony of the fourth-generation submarine
took place at Severodvinsk at the Sevmash enterprise. The
vessel received acceptance certificate from the Commander-
in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, on
May 5. On March 19, Evmenov said the Navy will receive
three nuclear submarines - Knyaz Oleg (Borei-A), Kazan

Akula-class and Alfa-class, it is projected to replace Russia's
Soviet-era nuclear attack submarines.
