The Russian Navy plans to commission ten Graney Class nuclear-powered attack submarines by 2020, a high-ranking navy official has said.

“We are expecting to receive about ten new Yasen [Graney] Class attack submarines in the next ten years,” the source added.

The nuclear submarines are designed to launch a range of long-range cruise missiles with conventional or nuclear warheads, and to attack submarines, surface warships and land-based targets.

The submarine will be equipped with 24 cruise missiles and eight torpedo launchers, as well as mines and anti-ship missiles, according to RIA Novosti.
