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.

A Russian Pacific Fleet naval strike group has successfully found, tracked and 'destroyed' a simulated enemy submarine in drills in the Sea of Japan, Defense Ministry spokesman Vladimir Matveev said Saturday. The simulated enemy, a Varshavyanka-class diesel-electric sub, is nicknamed the 'Black Hole' by the US Navy since it operates so quietly.

EURONAVAL is one of the largest naval exhibitions in the world. Russia has taken active part in it since 1996 when the exhibition became an international event. "At EURONAVAL 2016, we will hold the pre-arranged meetings with the official delegations and representatives of business circles of the European countries, the Middle East, Latin America and Asia-Pacific Region. We reasonably believe that the countries in these regions having long coastlines are interested today in Russian-made naval systems. Therefore Rosoboronexport will showcase more than 130 pieces of hardware at the exhibition, covering the entire spectrum of naval equipment and weapons. Many of them have been successfully tested under real combat conditions,” said Evgeny Odintsov who heads the Rosoboronexport delegation.
