Russia Unveils Nuclear Submarine “Khabarovsk” + Video

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the launch of the nuclear submarine “Khabarovsk” during an official ceremony held in the northern city of Severodvinsk.

Andrei Belousov, Russia’s Minister of Defense, expressed appreciation for the efforts and high-quality work of engineers and personnel involved in the submarine’s construction.
