The submarine, designed by the Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau and built in the northern port city of Severodvinsk, will enter service in the Russian Navy in 2020.

The Russian military has floated out the nuclear submarine "Novosibirsk" – the first Yasen-M-class vessel launched by the country. According to Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, the crew has completed its training and is ready to start serving on board the new submarine.

Another submarine of the Yasen class, named Kazan, is undergoing sea trials and is expected to be commissioned next year.
