Russian Kilo-Class Submarine

The Soviet Kilo class, associated with Projects 877 and later related developments, was a conventional diesel-electric attack-submarine family. Quiet underwater operation and torpedo armament made it important for patrol and sea-denial missions. Boats were built for Soviet and Russian service and for export, and different customers received differing equipment. The boats gained export users as well as serving the Soviet and Russian navies. Later Improved Kilo boats introduced changes beyond the initial Project 877 arrangement. They used batteries for submerged running and diesel machinery for recharging, requiring periodic access to air despite their underwater mission. Their mission remained conventional submarine warfare.
