الكيلو اقصى ما يمكنها ان تبقى تحت الماء هو 24-36 ساعة تم تصعد لتزود بالاوكسجين
Based upon a multi-year experience of operating diesel-electric submarines of Projects 613 (
Whiskey), 641 (
Foxtrot), 641B (
Tango) of Kilo class by Russian Navy and by Navies of other countries, Rubin has developed the fourth generation conventional submarines of the
Amur class (Amur 1650 and Amur 950).
Compared to
Kilo class submarines, the
Amur 1650 submarine features a reduced displacement. The boat is distinguished by the capability of firing up to 6 missiles in a salvo against targets at sea and on shore, state-of-the-art electronic warfare systems and a sonar with a unique passive antenna to detect silent targets at a large range.
Acoustic signature of the Amur 1650 submarine is several times lower compared to Kilo class submarines which are currently considered to be the most silent in the world. The submarine is equipped with electronic warfare systems of new generation based on the recent hi-tech solutions.
The provision is made for the boat to be fitted with an air-independent propulsion plant with electrochemical generators to considerably increase submerged endurance and cruising range. The plant with stock of reagents is located in a special compartment module, which can be incorporated into the submarine during construction or repair / refit.
The submarine can be operated in any oceanic area, except for the regions with extensive ice fields, at any weather, and in shallow and deep waters.
For the submarine, the equipment and weapons of Russian production, as well as by the Customer country, or by other countries can be used.
