Russia to build six submarines annually from 2013

[illusion8]

Russia will produce six submarines and one aircraft carrier annually starting 2013, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Thursday. "By 2013, production capacity [at Russian shipyards] will allow us to build six submarines and an aircraft carrier every year," Rogozin told reporters, adding that the number includes both nuclear and diesel-powered submarines.

As a result, the production output will surpass that of the Soviet era when Russia built an average of five submarines annually, he said.

Rogozin earlier said the production had been bogged down in the past by a lack of financing, outdated equipment and a shortage of skilled labour.

Russia is planning to build eight Borey class strategic submarines and up to 10 Graney class attack subs by 2020.

Russian Navy working on 30-year development plan
Moscow, Feb 6 (IANS/RIA Novosti) Russia will develop by June this year a detailed 30-year plan to strengthen its naval forces, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin wrote in his twitter account.

"A detailed 30-year plan of strengthening its naval forces will be developed by June 2012. The decision has already been made," Rogozin wrote Sunday.

The state military programme for 2012-20 has allocated 4.7 trillion rubles ($155 billion). Last year, 85 billion rubles ($2.8 billion) was allocated on the construction of nuclear submarines, frigates, ship repair and maintenance. This year it expected to spend more than 93 billion rubles ($3 billion).

It is planned that in the future the submarine fleet will become the basis of Russia's naval force.

Over the next few years it will receive two types of nuclear submarines and two types of diesel-electric submarines. This is primarily a Borey-class nuclear submarine, the carrier of the new Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles. Eight of these submarines are planned to be built.

Russia's newest nuclear-powered submarine, the Yury Dolgoruky, is already undergoing sea trials; three more are in various stages of their completion

I just love their Typhoon class submarines. They're mean! This means contrary to the nonsense that says Russian industry is "collapsing", Russia is getting massive orders from nations like Vietnam, Venezuela etc.

Hey, no one can make carriers @ one per year. Not unless they are real small ones. The Borei class of SSBNs and Garney class of SSNs are not for export, these submarines are for domestic consumption. BTW, modern stealthy nuclear powered attack subs are excellent for anti access and area denial tasks. The gradual opening up of the Arctic Ocean area as the polar ice cap melts will free up Russia's northern sea ports in the coming decades. That is when Russia will need additional naval assets to dominate the northern sea lanes and the mineral rich arctic area.
