Project 677: Lada class submarine

Russia Scraps Plans of Additional Project 677 Submarines Construction

The Russian Navy decided not to build Lada-class diesel-electric submarines (Project 677) since the funding will be spent on Kalina-class ships, a senior Russian Navy’s official said Tuesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Construction of the Sankt Peterburg, the lead ship of the Project 677, began in December 1997. It was introduced into the Navy for trial operations in April 2010. Two other ships of the class have already been laid down.

"The Navy has decided to complete the construction of two Lada-class boats and stop the work on the project. All three boats of this project will join the Baltic Fleet. Funding will be directed to the Kalina project," the official told RIA Novosti.

He added that a Russian design bureau, Rubin, was working on the project of the submarines equipped with anaerobic (air-independent) power units, dubbed Kalina-class. Their construction is expected to be launched after 2020.

Air-independent, closed cycle submarines, which usually use hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, are quieter than conventional diesel-electric boats and do not have to surface or use snorkel tubes to breathe air, thereby exposing themselves to detection by radar and other sensors.

I don't think they will be pursuing this project any further beyond completing ones they started.

They wouldn't have built the IAP for it if they weren't going to build more.
Especially the VLS version which would be very useful for Russia.

They started that project back in the 90's and while they may have fixed all issues now basic design has become obsolete. They will be going with Kalina class for AIP subs.

You mentioned VLS version. What do you know about it? If they install VLS on conventional subs it will be epic.

MOSCOW, April 3 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) at the LAAD-2017 international exhibition in Brazil will present to the delegates from Latin America the Amur-1650 submarine with an air-independent (anaerobic) power plant, the corporation's press service said on Monday.

The international Latin American exhibition of aviation and defense systems LAAD-2017 will be held from 4 to 7 April in Rio de Janeiro.

The main advantage of an air-independent power plant is an increase in the stealth of a submarine. The submarine can be underwater without ascent to recharge batteries for a longer period of time - up to two to three weeks.

"Specialists, experts and visitors of the exhibition can be especially attracted by the projects of the Amur-1650 submarine presented by TsKB MT" Rubin "in the form of mockups with an air-independent power plant and a diesel-electric submarine" Amur-950 ", as well as a lifeboat project For the rescue of crews of emergency submarines of project 21301, presented by "Admiralty Shipyards", "the release says.

As part of the USC delegation, which will be headed by Leonid Strugov, First Vice President of USC at LAAD-2017, specialists of the Admiralty Shipyards and Central Design Bureau of the MT Rubin will work.

"Within the framework of the exhibition, the members of the delegation of the Admiralty Shipyards and CDB MT Rubin plan to present the products of the enterprises to representatives of the national naval forces of the countries of the region and exchange views with potential partners on possible prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation," the press service noted.

The Latin American exhibition and conference on aerospace and defense technologies LAAD-2017 has been held in Rio de Janeiro since 1997, every two years, in close contact with the Ministry of Defense of Brazil. USC will first introduce the indicated naval equipment on a separate stand - two years ago the corporation was represented by delegate participation.
