Lead nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine SSGN Kazan being built under modernized Project 885M Yasen-M by Sevmash shipyard for Russian Navy will become the first fourth-generation nuclear submarine with absolutely new technical outfit having no analogs in national military shipbuilding, reported ITAR-TASS referring to an insider in defense industry.

"In contrast to fourth-generation strategic subs Yury Dolgoruky and Alexander Nevsky [Project 955 Borei] with only 40% of newly applied equipment, all systems of the multipurpose SSGN Kazan will be absolutely new, never used before. I mean radically new hi-tech equipment having no analogs either in Soviet or in Russian shipbuilding", said the source.

"Technically, SSGN Kazan will be comparable to the most hi-tech and expensive American Sea Wolf attack submarine, and even outclass her in silence and some other parameters", said the source reminding that the US had shut down production of those subs due to expensiveness.
