History of creation and combat usage

The development of fourth-generation submarines in the USSR began back in the late 1970s. The primary objective that the military shipbuilders had set for themselves was the creation of a versatile multipurpose submarine able to take on the widest range of combat tasks that had been previously split between several different sub types. This promising project received the designation 885 and was named “Yasen”. The leading vessel of project Yasen was laid down in 1993 and launched in 2010. Multiple changes, which included armament upgrades, were implemented into the submarine’s design during the vessel’s lengthy construction period. As a result, the vessels that follow project Yasen’s lead submarine are built in accordance with the modernized project 885M, which accounts for further enhancements of the submarines’ tactical and technical characteristics, as well as their weapon loadout. Russia is planning to deploy 7 nuclear submarines of projects Yasen and Yasen-M before 2023.
