The sea part of the training of the crew of the first Project 636
submarine built for the Vietnamese Navy has begun in the village of
Svetly near Kaliningrad, a source in the Russian shipbuilding industry
told Interfax-AVN.
"The theoretical, coastal part was followed by the sea part of the
training, which includes five 10-days sea voyages," the source said.
"Since the beginning of the factory trials, which included tests by
the customer's representatives, the first export series submarine has
successfully conducted 23 dives," he said.
In 2013, the shipbuilding enterprise Admiralteiskiye Verfi will
provide to the Vietnamese Navy the first two diesel electric Project
6363 Varshanyanka submarines of the six submarines envisioned by the
contract, a source in the Russian defense industry told Interfax
earlier.
The contract for the supply of six diesel electric Project 6363
submarines was signed in 2009 during a visit to Moscow by Vietnamese
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung.
Besides, submarine construction, the contract envisions the training
of Vietnamese crews and the supply of the needed equipment and
technical property.
Project 6363 diesel electric submarines are third-generation
submarines. These submarines have a good modernization potential that
makes it possible to integrate new weapons, including the anti-ship
missile system Club, which considerably expands the target area.
A training center is created to train the crews of the Vietnamese
submarines in Kamran with assistance from the ST. Petersburg OAO
Concern NPO Avrora.
The enterprise developed and created five systems for these
submarines, specifically, the computerized information system Lama and
the submarine management system Palladiy.
