Russia unveiled its latest nuclear submarine, the K-564 Arkhangelsk, in an official launching ceremony held in Severodvinsk. This state-of-the-art vessel is part of Project 885M Yasen-M, a new wave of naval innovation. The Yasen-M class can carry Kalibr cruise missiles, but more important for the navy is arming these new submarines with the Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missiles, a weapon key for Russia in the ongoing naval arms race with NATO.
