Russia is set to showcase its latest submarine, the Amur 950, at the Army-2024 military-technical forum. Dubbed a ‘floating battery’, this non-nuclear submarine is equipped with vertical missile launchers capable of firing a range of weapons, including the formidable BrahMos cruise missile.

Developed jointly by India and Russia, the BrahMos has already made waves in the global defense market. Its submarine-launched variant, integrated into the Amur 950, significantly enhances the submarine’s offensive capabilities. This development is likely to attract the attention of many countries seeking to bolster their naval power.

Interestingly, Russia had previously offered the larger Amur-1650 submarine to India as part of the Project-75I submarine acquisition program. However, the Indian Navy rejected this proposal due to the absence of an Sea Worthy Air-Independent Propulsion (AIP) system, a critical technology for extended underwater endurance.

The Amur 950, while smaller than its predecessor, offers a potent combination of stealth, firepower, and flexibility. Its advanced design and integration of cutting-edge technology position it as a strong contender in the global submarine market.
