The Arkhangelsk has struck a target located some 200 km away, the Northern Fleet has said
Russia's Northern Fleet has released footage of its Arkhangelsk nuclear submarine performing a successful missile test in the Barents Sea in the Arctic.
The vessel fired an Oniks cruise missile from an underwater position, hitting a target imitating a surface ship some 200 km away, the fleet said in a statement on Wednesday.
The Arkhangelsk is the third entry in Russia's Project 885M Yasen-M, representing a modification of fourth-generation submarines with a reduced acoustic field that makes them increasingly hard to detect and track by sonar.
Besides the Oniks missiles, Yasen-M vessels are also armed with Kalibr cruise missiles and Tsirkon hypersonic missiles.
The Arkhangelsk has been in service with the Northern Fleet since December 2024.
During his tour of the submarine last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin told the crew that it was "the most modern, the best-equipped, capable of performing a wide variety of tasks." The Arkhangelsk and other Yasen-M vessels "can do everything," Putin stressed, referring to their ability to strike targets underwater, on the surface, and on land.
