On March 27, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin officially launched the Perm, a fourth-generation nuclear-powered attack submarine belonging to the Yasen-M class. Named after the city of Perm in the Urals, it is the sixth vessel in the Yasen/Yasen-M series and the first Russian nuclear submarine to be officially equipped with the 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missile as a standard feature. The submarine was laid down on July 29, 2016, at the Sevmash shipyard in Severodvinsk. Its launch marks a significant stage in the Russian Navy’s ongoing shipbuilding program. The Perm is scheduled to enter service with the Russian Navy in 2026.
