The West responded to reports during the Army-2022 forum about the start of development in Russia of a promising submarine of the Arcturus project. We are talking about the project of a submarine with minimal noise using the so-called shaftless technology.. The submarine will have high maneuverability thanks to two engines. According to some reports, on board the "Arcturus" it is supposed to allocate space for "special types of weapons", including anti-submarine.
This information, as well as a photo of a promising Russian submarine, publicly available, enough Western reporters to, to call the Arcturus project "an unambiguous signal to the West and NATO countries".
So, in the British The Sun, the author drew attention to the design of "Arcturus", stated, that he is a lot like "something of the villainous style of the James Bond movies".
With its project of a new submarine with hypersonic missiles and extremely low visibility, Russia, as they say in the West, “sends another signal to the United States and partners that, that Russia will have to be reckoned with".
also notes, that the submarine "Arcturus", getting underwater drones, could be the world's first submarine, anti-submarine capabilities of which can be attributed to a new generation. Underwater drones will allow submarines of the Arcturus project to detect NATO submarines at such distances, from which they still cannot not only effectively attack, but also to carry out the detection of a Russian submarine. In such a situation, NATO submarines can become easy targets.. used photos:CKB "Rubin"
