Very small nuclear-powered submarines; fitted with manipulator arms and side thrusters. Very deep operating depth. Almost certainly employed for covert seafloor "research". Essentially the Soviet equivalent to the US NR-1. It is believed that the 'Yankee Stretch' conversion (above) serves as a "mother ship" for transport and support of these craft.

Classification: unknown.

Builders: Admiralteiskiye Verfi 196, St. Petersburg.
