Construction in 1958 g. the first Soviet submarine project 633 (NATO classification type of "Romeo") in g. Gorky, How to improve the boat project 613 It coincided with the successful introduction of nuclear power plants in the Navy. As a result, only 20 diesel electric submarines of this project 560 originally planned were actually built.
However, the project documentation was handed over to the Chinese in the development plans of their military industry, and 1962 Mr. began building boats in China, where the first of them were gathered in the shipyard in Uchzhane, Get local designation type 033. other shipyards, located in Guangzhou (Cantone), Chzhinnane (Shanghai) Huludao and later joined the program of construction, bringing in the early 1970s, annual production of boats up to nine units.
Total in China was built 84 boat project 633. It is now known, but, that only 31 Boat continues to be part of the Navy of the PLA and nine put in reserve. Four boats were exported to Egypt 1982-1984 gg., where they were armed with missiles "Harpoon" with underwater launch. It is believed, North Korea has 22 boats in this series, some of which with 1976 g. It was built in the local shipyard with China's help. In Bulgaria there is one boat "Glory" Soviet-built.
All built for the Soviet Navy boats were withdrawn from the fleet to 1987 g. Two boats were provided to Algeria for five years to be used for training purposes prior to the acquisition by the State of modern submarines Series 877 "Halibut". essentially, boat project 633 Soviet and Chinese buildings have the same performance characteristics and armament, excluding fixed on the Soviet boat in the bow of the external sonar equipment.
The Chinese borrowed Soviet submarines proekta633 as the main type of submarines of its own production and export multiple items in North Korea. Currently, the number of boats in the PLA Navy reduced, and their construction with 1987 g. terminated in connection with the priorities, given to the development of the "Ming" submarines.
