Russia has begun working on a massive submarine that it says could sneak out of radar detection.Plans to build the 72-metre (236 feet) long Strazh 2.0 sub with a displacement of 1,300 tons were announced this week by the state-owned Rubin Design Bureau firm, reports The Mirror.It is designed to be multi-functional to keep costs down in light of spending cuts to the nation's military budget follwoing the economic effects of Covid.The sub will be based on another version of the Guardian submarine that the firm are already working on.Early data reportedly suggests that the underwater craft will be able to reach a speed of 21 knots, which is achieved by installing a huge power plant and working to reduce resistance when it is in the surface position.The firm claimed that the Strazh 2.0 will be able to dip out of radar detection thanks to its shape, saying: “The new contours with the wave-cutting forward bow and sloping sides reduce rolling motion, increase the ship’s steadiness as a weapons platform and cut radar signature.“Additionally, the ship can be used for conducting drills with anti-submarine forces and training the crews of classical submarines.
