Amur class submarine

Amur class submarine

The Russian Navy's Project 950 "Амур" (named for the Amur river) submarines are a highly improved version of the sclass|Kilo|submarine with much better quieting, new combat systems, and air-independent propulsion.

Some sources state that submarine has a crew of 18 while others state 21.

Depending on the model chosen, they are priced about US$100,000,000 less than a French and Spanish sclass|Scorpène|submarine|0 or German "Type 212" AIP submarine of equivalent advertised capability [http://www.ckb-rubin.ru/eng/project/submarine/noatompl/img/17.jpg] .
