St. Petersburg, March 12 (Xinhua) — The Russian Northern Fleet's nuclear-powered submarine Kazan fired missiles at a simulated target in the Barents Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on its website on Thursday.
The launch took place as part of routine combat training. The nuclear-powered icebreaker Kazan fired an Onyx cruise missile from a submerged position at a sea target located up to 300 km away.
The warhead of the Onyx missile successfully hit a naval target. Surface ships and naval aviation from the Russian Northern Fleet were deployed to support the launch and close the area.
The nuclear-powered missile submarine Kazan is a Project 885M Yasen-M vessel—a modified version of fourth-generation submarines with a reduced acoustic signature. The nuclear-powered submarine was launched on March 31, 2017, and commissioned into the Russian Navy on May 7, 2021.
