CDB ME Rubin and the Admiralty Shipyards are providing all set of services for development, operation and maintenance of submarines. Easy and reliable operation, powerful armament, high quality construction and low noise level attracts the customers

As is known, India is a strategic partner of Russia and one of the major customers of Russian equipment for the Navy. Cooperation with India in the field of underwater shipbuilding, beginning from the late 1960s when the first torpedo submarine of 641 Project was supplied to the Indian Navy, is continuously developing and as of today covers all spheres: from deliveries of final products by Russia to joint developments of equipment/documentation, and activities in repair and modification of Russian-made submarines by Indian shipyards. Taking into account a wide range of interests of Indian customer and industry, CDB ME Rubin’s booth at DEFEXPO 2010 displays Kilo class submarines – the basis of Russian export submarines in the late 20th - early 21st centuries as well as promising submarines from the Amur family (Amur-1650, Amur 950). The unique feature of Kilo class submarines (Projects 877EKM and 636) is their considerable modernization potential allowing them nowadays to remain a rather competitive product. Success of this Project including today’s success is due first of all to multiyear fruitful interaction between designer and shipbuilder. Designer is CDM ME Rubin, the biggest Russian design bureau founded in 1901 who was capable to implement in the Project all the most positive features of earlier developed diesel-electric submarines. Shipbuilder is Open Joint-Stock Company the Admiralty Shipyards, leader of modern Russian shipbuilding, the oldest shipbuilding establishment in Russia founded in 1704. Over 2600 ships and vessels of various types and classes including more than 300 submarines (out of them 41 nuclear-powered ones) slided down the ways of the Admiralty Shipyards. The largest series of Kilo class submarines was built at the Admiralty Shipyards including 8 for the Indian Navy. Today, modification of the Project with CLUB-S complex and state-of-the-art electronic sensors is suggested. Four torpedo tubes out of six are suitable for missile firing. The ammunition may include 8 missiles, thus two successive four-missile salvoes can be provided. The sensors are also considerably renewed. New sonar complex, periscope complex with optronic mast having infrared and TV cameras and radio communication complex with towed cable radio antenna are fitted.

New-generation submarine Amur-1650 of smaller displacement compared to Kilo class submarines is also a result of successful cooperation between CDB ME Rubin and the Admiralty Shipyards. The major distinction is that Amur-1650 can take onboard and use weapons in any combination and carry out salvo firings (up to 6 missiles in a salvo). Amur-1650 is a low-noise submarine. Its noise level is reduced by two times compared to Kilo class submarines due to the use of ship’s machinery with low vibration specially developed for these submarines. Amur-1650 submarine integration level and capabilities of sensors are better compared to Kilo class submarines. The sonar complex includes a passive antenna unique by sizes and characteristics and capable of detecting even a very low-noise submarine at a long distance.

CDB ME Rubin has also developed the Amur 950 Project, where the missile component of weapon is of priority. The submarine has 10 universal vertical launchers for any type of cruise missiles of Club-S complex. Thus, ten-missile salvo with interval between launches from 5 to7 seconds is ensured.
