Description
 
The Russian Kilo Class Attack Submarine fist entered service in the early 1980s. It was designed by the Rubin Central Maritime Design Bureau, St Petersburg. Subsequent developments have led to the current production version s, the Type 877EKM and most recently, the Type 636. The submarine was originally built at the Komsomolsk shipyard but is now con structed at the Admiralty Shipyard in St Petersburg. 24 Kilo Class Submarines are in service in the Russian Navy (most of older designs). They have also been exported to Iran, China, India, Poland, Romania and Algeria. China has two Type 636 submarine which are designed for antisubmarine (ASW) and anti-surface ship (ASuW) warfare as well as for general recon naissance and patrol mission s. The Type 636 submarine is con sidered to be one of the quietest diesel submarines in the world. It is said to be capable of detecting an enemy submarine at a range 3 to 4 times greater than it can be detected itself.
