Ships and vessels of the Northern Fleet’s White Sea naval base cordoned off the area.

The Kazan nuclear-powered attack submarine with the crew and a trial team onboard started another stage of its state trials on November 21. During the trials, the submarine fired a 3M-14 (SS-N-30) cruise missile of the Kalibr missile system against a coastal target.

The submarine is performing maneuvers in the above- and underwater positions at various depths at Northern Fleet ranges. While at sea, the crew will also test onboard systems, mechanisms, and armament.
