“Today, on July 8, 2022, at the largest shipbuilding enterprise in Russia, JSC PO Sevmash (part of the USC), a solemn ceremony was held to sign the acceptance certificate and transfer the Belgorod research submarine to the Navy,” the statement says.

Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Nikolai Evmenov called the handover of Belgorod to the fleet a landmark day.

In May, the multi-purpose nuclear submarine K-561 Kazan conducted exercises in the Barents Sea.

She completed the dive to the maximum depth.
