Russia Floats Out First Yasen-M-Class Nuclear Submarine
Who are we? Boers or Afrikaners? Answer from Dr Mike Du Toit
I had someone write to me about the topic of Boers versus Afrikaners. I decided to approach Dr Mike Du Toit, who was the leader of the Boeremag, and who is a professional academic who is very well versed in our history to answer this. Dr Du Toit not only knows our history in South Africa but also our history in Europe. This was his answer.
The submarine, designed by the Malakhit Marine Engineering Bureau and built in the northern port city of Severodvinsk, will enter service in the Russian Navy in 2020.
The Russian military has floated out the nuclear submarine “Novosibirsk” – the first Yasen-M-class vessel launched by the country. According to Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral Nikolai Yevmenov, the crew has completed its training and is ready to start serving on board the new submarine.
Another submarine of the Yasen class, named Kazan, is undergoing sea trials and is expected to be commissioned next year.
The Yasen-M-class (also known as Project 885M) has a submerged displacement of 3,800 tonnes and can operate autonomously for up to 100 days. It can reach a maximum speed of 35 knots (65 kilometres per hour or 40 mph) and is armed with Oniks and Kalibr cruise missiles.
