SEVERODVINSK (Russia) (Sputnik) – Russia’s new Yasen-class nuclear submarines are able to fire all sea-based cruise missiles from the country’s arsenal, the sub’s designer said Friday.
A sixth Yasen-class submarine, the Perm, was laid down in Severodvinsk earlier today, with four more vessels of this class under construction.
"Yasen subs can be fitted with all types of cruise missiles that can be fired from submarines," Vladimir Dorofeyev, the director general of the Malakhit Design Bureau, told RIA Novosti.
