Russia's Defense Ministry Ordered Development of Husky-class New Generation Submarine (SSN)
 
Russia’s Malakhit Marine Engineering Design Bureau has signed a contract with the Defense Ministry to develop a fifth-generation nuclear-powered submarine, Design Bureau CEO Vladimir Dorofeyev said in an interview with Echo Moskvy radio station. "A contract for the development of a new-generation vessel has been signed with the Defense Ministry. The next-generation submarine is expected to be fully developed after 2020," Dorofeyev added.

"A contract for the development of a new-generation vessel has been signed with the Defense Ministry. The next-generation submarine is expected to be fully developed after 2020," Dorofeyev added.
Russian Navy Project 885 Yasen-class Submarine Severodvinsk (K-560) underway. The successor will be the Husky-class fifth generation submarine.
     
As Russia’s United Ship-Building Corporation said earlier, about two years will be required to work out the preliminary design of the fifth-generation Husky-class multipurpose nuclear-powered submarine. The Malakhit Marine Engineering Design Bureau in St. Petersburg in northwest Russia is developing the fifth-generation multipurpose nuclear-powered submarine. Russian shipbuilders are currently constructing a series of fourth-generation Project 885 Yasen-class nuclear-powered attack submarines.

United Ship-Building Corporation President Alexei Rakhmanov said previously that the fifth-generation submarine "will feature a new weapons suite."
The United Ship-Building Corporation’s task is to maximally standardize the submarine "to offer a more favorable price to the Russian Defense Ministry," Rakhmanov added. "If we complete developing the fourth-generation submarine in 2017-2018 and if we don’t start the development of the fifth-generation submarine at that time, we will build it no sooner than 2030," he said in reply to a question about when the Husky-class submarine would be manufactured.
