For obvious reasons the military does not reveal details, but by now sufficient information is already available for defining the boat’s general concept.
First off, it will be built based on the modular system. The Russian Navy will get a basic underwater platform with a nuclear reactor and a propulsive system, defense equipment and command post. Provisions are made in the central part of the boat for placing various modules.
