Vladimir Putin attended the launch ceremony of a new nuclear submarine, emphasizing its role in strengthening Russia's maritime security.
On Thursday night, Putin launched the multi-purpose vessel, named "Perm" after a city in the Urals, which is equipped with anti-ship hypersonic Zircon missiles capable of travelling at several times the speed of sound.
This is already the fifth nuclear submarine of the Yasen-M class that was built by the Sevmash shipyard near Murmansk.
"Perm is the first multi-purpose submarine equipped with Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles. Next year, it is expected to join our naval fleet and begin combat missions," - President Putin said at the ceremony. "The Yasen-M class submarines are equipped with advanced navigation, communication, and hydroacoustic systems, as well as high-precision weaponry and robotic systems. "
While in Murmansk, Putin visited a submarine named Arkhangelsk, also in the same class, and toured the Atomflot enterprise, which oversees Russia's icebreaker projects.
The nuclear-powered submarine cruiser Arkhangelsk is a carrier of all types of naval missile weapons, capable of hitting both sea and coastal targets.
The vessel handed over to the Russian Navy on December 27, 2024.
Highlighted Russia's position as one of the leading maritime powers, Putin stated: "These submarines and ships will enhance the strength of our naval fleets, bolster the security of Russia’s maritime borders and the Northern Sea Route, and support efforts to safeguard national interests across the World Ocean. This includes the Arctic zone, which is becoming increasingly significant in global competition due to its economic, logistical, and transport importance."
