Project history: This titanium-hulled submarine was the follow-on to Project 671RTM. Like Project 971, it combines the Project 671RTM sonar suite with a very quiet (fully rafted) powerplant incorporating the Project 971 reactor. 'Environmental' (non-acoustic) sensors are in the sail. A crew escape pod occupies die centre of the rather wide sail. Much to the disgust of the design organisation, Lazurit, construction of this type was cancelled in favour of Project 971, which was apparently much less expensive. Submarines are armed with very powerful long-range Veter dual-purpose missile.
Modernizations: 2003, B-276 Kostroma: + MNK-100 Kolos wake detector
Naval service: No significant events.
