In mid-December 2025, a St. Petersburg flag-raising ceremony was held NAVY Russia on the new diesel-electric submarine Velikiye Luki. The event took place at the production site "."Admiralty Shipyards
According to Izvestia, Velikiye Luki is the third submarine of project 677 Lada and the first in this series built for the Baltic. During the ceremony, the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Fleet Admiral Alexander Moiseev, said that the ship combines advanced technologies and complex solutions, and also has significant combat capabilities with a small displacement.
Andrei Puchkov, General Director of the United Shipbuilding Corporation, said that two submarines of project 677 have already been transferred to the fleet, and two more are at the construction stage. According to Puchkov, the effective interaction of designers, shipbuilders and the Navy made it possible to move to serial production.
Submarines of the Lada type were developed by the Rubin design bureau. They are designed to counter surface and underwater targets, protect the coast and sea communications, as well as strike targets on land using Caliber cruise missiles. The key features of submarines are low noise and immersion depth up to 300 m.
Military expert Dmitry Boltenkov explained that the replenishment for the Baltic Fleet is significant. He noted that earlier it included only the submarine "Dmitrov," which is already 40 years old. The new submarine, according to Boltenkov, is necessary for the preparation of anti-submarine forces, testing newly built surface ships and strengthening the grouping in the context of the activity of NATO forces in the region.
Captain of the first rank Vasily Dandykin added that the submarine "Great Luki" will expand the operational capabilities of the fleet. According to Dandykin, her tasks will include monitoring the water area, including areas near the Skagerrak Strait, connecting the Baltic and North Seas.[1]
