The Khabarovsk class, or Project 09851 is a class of submarines under construction for the Russian Navy. The lead submarine Khabarovsk, is slated to be floated in June 2020. This class of submarines is based on the Borei-class submarine's hull, but is significantly smaller as it does not have the ballistic missile section. The class is intended to carry six Status-6 Oceanic Multipurpose System long-range nuclear torpedoes, and will be the second submarine to carry this weapon after Russian submarine Belgorod (K-329). A total of four submarines have been ordered.[1][2][3][4]
