Kilo-class submarines

Kilo-class submarines are Russian-designed, diesel-electric attack submarines used primarily for coastal defense and anti-ship missions. They operate quietly, using diesel engines while surfaced and batteries when submerged, allowing them to stay hidden underwater for extended periods. Equipped with torpedoes and anti-ship missiles, they are effective in neutralizing surface and underwater threats. Known for their stealth and reliability, Kilo-class submarines are used by several navies, including in Russia and India, and are valued for their flexibility, making them a significant component of modern maritime defense strategies.
