History and use of the Akula submarine

Akula-class submarines (Project 971 Shchuka-B, NATO designation: Akula) are among the most recognizable vessels of the Soviet Union and Russia, serving as an important element of the submarine fleet from the end of the Cold War to modern times. Construction began in the second half of the 1980s, and the first submarine entered service in 1986. These vessels have been operated by the USSR/Russian Navy up to the present day, taking part in strategic patrols, reconnaissance missions, and naval exercises.

The Akula class comprises modern, fast, nuclear-powered attack submarines equipped with advanced combat systems and a wide array of weaponry – torpedoes and missiles. Due to their quietness and diving performance, these submarines still command respect among Western navies to this day.
