The Groundbreaking Submarine That The United States Navy Is About To Unveil

The Laika’s Terrifying Velocity

Like all phenomenal inventions, the Laika takes inspiration from its forerunners, the Yasen and Yasen-M classes. In fact, those familiar with Russian submarines would be able to identify the various components that have been taken from the older submarines and installed into the new ones. The best of the Yasen and Yasen-M classes’ speed-related parts would be transferred into the Laika and upgraded, resulting in a submerged top speed of 32 mph and a 23 mph top surface speed. Some speculate that the Laika will be capable of a 40 mph maximum speed while submerged.
