3. Yasen-class (Project 885)

Russia’s Yasen class blends high speed, low noise, and potent firepower. A double-hull design lets it dive deeper than many rivals. Eight torpedo tubes launch modern torpedoes, anti-ship weapons, and supersonic cruise missiles. A spherical sonar array with advanced processing can track up to 200 contacts at once. Titanium construction and refined quieting make it nearly as silent as leading Western boats, and submerged Kalibr launches give it strong land-attack reach.
