Submarine Kilo-class
The Kilos were Soviet, and later mostly Russian, diesel-electric (SS) fighter submarines whose production began in 1982. Units were built in the cities of Leningrad (today's St. Petersburg), Gorky (today's Nizhny Novgorod) and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. It is estimated that a total of about 60-65 units of this class were built. The Kilo-class ship is 72.6 m long, 9.9 m wide, and has a displacement of 3,200 tons. The maximum underwater speed is approx. 16 knots. The main armament of units of this class is 6 bow 533 mm torpedo tubes.
The Kilo-class ships (project 877) were designed to replace the Whiskey-class units, i.e. medium-range ships, intended to operate at a relatively close distance from their own bases. Compared to their predecessors, the new Soviet submarines had a completely different hull shape, which provided much better hydrodynamic properties.
