They Are Building A New Class Known As The 545 Laika
The latest model in the Russian submarine arsenal is the 545 Laika Class. If anything, it only shows us why we should be so fearful of the Yasen Class. It’s predecessor was a monster in itself! We are sure any development on this will only be even more powerful. Cause for concern, for sure.
This New Submarine Will No Doubt Be A Speed Demon
It has been thought that the Laika class will incorporate elements from both the Yasen and Yasen-M classes. If this turns out to be true, there would be a good chance of its max surface speed being 23mph, while its underwater speed would be 32mph. We can’t know for sure. Perhaps the underwater speed will go even faster, maybe 40mph? Concerning.
