The submarine fleet is the symbol of Russia's naval power and the guarantee of its security and vital national interests

March 15, 2006

Speaking at celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of Russia’s submarine fleet, President Vladimir Putin said that the fleet plays a key part not only in carrying out national objectives but also in the strategic deterrent process at regional and global level.

The President said that creating a modern and technically well-equipped submarine fleet able to react to modern threats and resist any external military and political pressure on the country is one of the Russian leadership’s top priorities.
