The S1000-class submarines are a joint development by Russia and Italy. It is said to be an advanced version of the Amur-class submarine of Rubin Design Bureau. The joint development is between Rubin Design Bureau of Russia and Fincantieri of Italy.

History[]

It was reported in 2005 that Fincantieri of Italy had entered into a partnership with Russia's Rubin Design Bureau to design a new diesel-electric submarine based on the Russian Amur-class submarine and featuring air independent propulsion (AIP) technology. In October 2006 at the international arms show in France, Russia and Italy presented a mock-up model of a new-generation diesel submarine called S1000.[1]

In July 2014 it was reported[2] that Fincantieri requested indefinite postponement of the project, citing political situation resulting from Russia's involvement in Ukraine crisis.

Design[]

The submarine is designed for anti-submarine and anti-ship warfare, reconnaissance missions, and transportation of up to 12 troops. It is 56.2 metres (184 ft 5 in) long, has a top speed of 14 knots (26 km/h; 16 mph) and is equipped with a new fuel cell-powered AIP system developed by an Italian firm.

Designed primarily for exports to third countries, the new submarine will feature an impressive array of weaponry, including Italian heavyweight, wire-guided Black Shark torpedoes and the Russian Club-S cruise missile system capable of hitting underwater, surface and land targets.[1]

Exports[]

Both Fincantieri and Rubin gave a joint presentation to the Indian Navy offering to build six S1000 boats for $8.1 billion[3] for its Project 75I-class submarine programme. [4] The other contenders for the project include the Scorpène class of France, the Type 214 submarine of Germany and the Amur class itself from Russia.[5][6]
