The Black Sea Fleet submarine Stary Oskol will arrive at the Kronstadt Marine Plant in January for planned repairs after its deployment in the Russian Navy’s permanent Mediterranean taskforce, a source in Crimean defense circles told TASS. "The submarine is expected to arrive at the Kronstadt Marine Plant in late January," the source specified. Later, the Black Sea Fleet’s same-type submarine Krasnodar will arrive at the shipyard for repairs, the source added.
The Admiralty Shipyard in St. Petersburg was earlier expected to repair the third and fourth submarines from the series of six Project 636.3 subs built for the Black Sea Fleet. Both the Admiralty Shipyard, which builds Project 636.3 subs and the Kronstadt Marine Plant are part of Russia’s United Shipbuilding Corporation.
In late April, the Krasnodar and the Stary Oskol passed through the Black Sea into the Mediterranean, replacing the same-type submarines Veliky Novgorod and Kolpino in the Russian Navy’s squadron in that area. The latter submarines operated off the coasts of Syria for a year and a half. The rotation of their crews took place every three months. The fifth and sixth submarines of this Project stayed in the Mediterranean Sea after their inter-fleet passage from the Baltic Sea.
