Russia has begun constructing a 500-ton unmanned vessel designed to detect submarines and underwater objects, as part of its state defense program. The project is being led by the Russian Navy's chief commander, Alexander Moiseev, who also announced developments in fifth-generation submarines and other naval advancements.
Consensus
- Russia is constructing an unmanned vessel with a displacement of 500 tons for detecting submarines and underwater objects.
- The project is part of the current state defense program for military equipment.
- Alexander Moiseev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, has publicly announced these developments in media interviews.
- The new unmanned ship will be classified as a small vessel and will serve as a foundation for future development of unmanned systems.
Points of divergence
- A new oceanic zone warship with displacement around 9,500 tons is being developed, which would be twice the size of modern Project 22350 frigates. — vesti
