Russia's New Husky-Class Submarine: Everything We Know (And Want to Know)

The Russian Navy is taking a page out of the United States Navy’s playbook as it develops its family of next generation nuclear submarines. Tentatively called Project Husky, the new submarines will be built in three variants—a basic attack submarine model, an expanded guided-missile submarine (SSGN) version and an enlarged ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) variant writes Ilya Kramnik, a defense reporter with Lenta.ru.
