These submarines are equipped with the advanced technology to sink enemy warships and submarines. It is claimed that since they are equipped with the stealth technology and travel soundlessly, it also makes their location difficult on radar.

Currently, there will be only two submarines deployed in the Pacific Ocean by Russia and they will be responsible for the activities there for the next two years. However, as per the information revealed, in the next few years four more submarines will partner with these Varshavyanka class submarines in the Pacific Ocean. Neither the Russian government nor the Navy has reacted to these reports.

Meanwhile, the activities of the Russian Navy and Airforce have increased in the Pacific Ocean Region. Russia had sent its bombers into the Indonesian airspace a few weeks ago. Besides this, only last month, the Russian navy had also participated in the war exercises with China in the South China Sea.
