The submarine, named HQ-186 Da Nang, is the fifth of the six Kilo-class submarines Vietnam purchased from Russia to modernise its navy, enhancing its capacity to defend the country’s territorial waters.
With a displacement of 3,000-3,950 tonnes, the nearly 74m-long submarine can operate at a maximum depth of 300 metres and a range of 6,000-7,500 nautical miles for 45 days with 52 crew members.
The submarine will launch within a couple of days.
