“For financial reasons, the Main Command of the Naval Forces considers it inappropriate to repair and modernize Nerpa, located at one of the shipyards near Vladivostok, and proposes to destroy it,” he said.
Before that, “Nerpa” was chartered as part of the Indian Navy and bore the designation “Chakra-2”. In April 2020, a high-pressure air cylinder exploded on a submarine, subsequently damaging its hull. The boat later returned from rental.
