The new submarine is the brainchild of the Rubin Design Bureau, and a notable new feature is the ability to launch drones to attack other submarines.
Surrogat-V drones are capable of detecting, tracking, and ultimately destroying chemicals and radiation left in the wake of submarines.
The new boat is named after the brightest star in the northern hemisphere of the sky, suggesting it is intended for operations in the Arctic.
Nuclear missiles are fewer in number than those typically carried by Russian submarines, but are reportedly more powerful.
The goal, according to Rubin, is to have submarines commissioned "in the second half of the century."
The 14,700-ton Belgorod is built even longer, capable of carrying new devastating nuclear warheads Poseidon torpedoes guided by artificial intelligence.
There were also submarines and drone launches for covert sabotage and espionage operations, such as cutting undersea cables.
Belgorod quietly sailed for the first time last year threatened to sink British and US warships in the Middle Black Sea and.
