Kilo-class submarine
Kilo class, Soviet designation Project 877 Paltus (Russian: Па́лтус, meaning "halibut", NATO reporting name Kilo), is a class of diesel-electric attack submarines designed and built in the Soviet Union for the Soviet Navy. The class was built until the mid-1990s, when production was switched to the more advanced Project 636 Varshavyanka variant, also known as Improved Kilo-class by the West.

Role
These attack submarines are mainly intended for anti-shipping and anti-submarine operations in relatively shallow waters. Original Project 877 boats are equipped with Rubikon MGK-400 sonar system (with NATO reporting name Shark Gill), which includes a mine detection and avoidance sonar MG-519 Arfa (with NATO reporting name Mouse Roar).
Newer Project 636 boats are equipped with improved MGK-400EM, with MG-519 Arfa also upgraded to MG-519EM. MGK 400E can detect submarines with 0.05 Pa/Hz noisiness in 16 km and surface vessels with 10 Pa/Hz noisiness in 100 km.[3] The improved sonar systems have reduced the number of operators needed by sharing the same console via automation.
Anechoic tiles are fitted on casings and fins to absorb the sound waves of active sonar, which results in a reduction and distortion of the return signal.[4] These tiles also help attenuate sounds that are emitted from the submarine, thus reducing the range at which the sub may be detected by passive sonar.[5]
Future
The Kilo class was to have been succeeded by the Lada class. However, by November 2011 it was apparent that the Lada-class would be delayed because Sankt Peterburg (B-585), the lead boat of the class, had shown major deficiencies. On 27 July 2012, the Russian Navy commander-in-chief announced that construction of the Lada-class submarines would resume, having undergone design changes.[6] Series production was reported to be underway in the latter 2010s.[7]
Nevertheless, the Russian navy has also moved forward with the construction of Project 636.3, an improved version of the Kilo-class. Six units have been built for the Black Sea Fleet and further boats are being built for the Pacific and Baltic Fleets.[8]
Variants
One Kilo-class submarine, B-871, was equipped with pump-jet propulsion.[9][10]
The version Kilo 636MV (exported to Vietnam) contains a GE2-01 radar and an improved MGK 400E sonar. In this version, the submarine is also able to operate in more weather conditions than the original Kilo-class submarines.[11]
Operators
The first submarine entered service in the Soviet Navy in 1980, and the class remains in use with the Russian Navy today. As of September 2011, 17 vessels were believed to still be in active service with the Russian Navy, while 7 vessels were thought to be in reserve.[12] 40 vessels have been exported to several countries:
- Algeria: 2 Original Kilo (Project 877), 4 Improved Kilo (Project 636).[13][14][15][16][17][18]
- People's Republic of China: 2 Original Kilo (Project 877), 10 Improved Kilo (Project 636).[19][21]
- India: 10 Original Kilo (Project 877), 1 sustained major casualty;[22][23] – Designated as the Sindhughosh class
- Myanmar: one boat transferred from Indian Navy by March 2020.[24][25]
- Poland: 1 Original Kilo (Project 877) – ORP Orzeł.[26]
- Iran: 3 Original Kilo (Project 877).
- Romania: 1 Original Kilo (Project 877) – Romanian submarine Delfinul.
- Russia: 22 Original Kilo (Project 877),[27] 6 Improved Kilo (Project 636.3)[28] and additional 6 Improved Kilo on order (636.3) for Pacific fleet to be delivered 2019–2021.[30] One more sub was ordered in August 2020, during the International Military-Technical Forum «ARMY-2020».[31][32]
- Vietnam: 6 Improved Kilo (Project 636).[33][34][35] Includes Vietnamese submarine Hồ Chí Minh City, Ha noi, Hai phong, Da nang, Khanh Hoa, Ba Ria Vung Tau.
Possible purchasers
- The government of Venezuela expressed interest in buying 3 Project 636 Kilo-class submarines[36] In 2019, a source reported the purported usage of a submarine of this class to insert Russian soldiers into Venezuela to protect the Venezuelan government from a alleged coup attempt backed by U.S. Administration.[37]
- The Philippine Navy has shown its interest on the Kilo-class submarine as part of its modernization program. Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said that the country is now evaluating the Russian offer.[38]
Failed Bids
- The Indonesian Navy was interested in purchasing about 2 Kilo-class submarines. But in 2014 the Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Navy Laksamana Marsetio after a visit to Russia with the team from Indonesian Navy to inspect the said submarines decided to cancel the plans. He said "The submarines looks good on the outside, but the inside is filled with broken equipment, and the 2 submarines have been in storage for 2 years." Indonesia chose to buy 6 Improved Chang Bogo-class submarines instead including a transfer of technology, where Indonesia will eventually build four of six of the Submarines with South Korea.[39]
