PROJECT 636 Large Diesel-Electric Submarine with Club-S Missile System

Mission

Project 636 large diesel-electric submarine is designed to destroy enemy submarines, surface warships and vessels operating independently or in battle order.

 

Features

Project 636 submarine is a follow-on development of the well-known Project 877EKM submarine. It retains all the advantages of its predecessor but stands out owing to the parameter improvements:

enhanced-power diesel generators;

increased underwater full speed;

snorkelling range increased to 7,500 n.miles;

noise level reduced by introducing new equipment with better shock-absorbing means.

 

 

Thanks to its reduced noise the submarine is capable of guaranteed preemptive detection of enemy surface ships at greater ranges and their engagement with 3M-54E Club-S antiship cruise missiles, or timely evasion. Project 636 submarine is equipped with more efficient air ventilation and conditioning systems designed for operations in different regions of the world ocean and comfortable habitability conditions for the crew.

 

 

Armament

Combat efficiency of the submarine is increased by employing 3M-54E Club-S antiship cruise missile system together with a variety of advanced electronic support systems. The deployed missile system with a launch range of 220 km features increased probability of high-speed target attacks, successful submarine/ship engagements, enhanced combat stability under enemy counterattacks (no need to penetrate enemy naval/airborne defence lines), and increased safety of littoral operations (no need to pass through mine-hazard areas). The submarine is capable of delivering missile attacks against targets with strong point defences.
