🇷🇺 Russia launched a new nuclear-powered icebreaker named Chukotka. The latest vessel has joined the fleet of nuclear-powered icebreakers. The launch was overseen by Russian President Vladimir Putin via video link.

The vessel in the Russia’s Project 22220 series is expected to have a life of 40 years and can endure extreme Arctic conditions. It can also plow through ice up to 2.8 meters (9.2 feet) thick.

The launch is aimed at boosting cargo traffic on the Northern Sea Route.

Putin emphasized that expanding Russia’s icebreaker fleet is key to developing Arctic territories.

“I would like to repeat that our plans to develop our Arctic territories and to increase cargo traffic along the Northern Sea Route rely on expanding Russia’s icebreaker fleet,” said Putin.

“We have ambitious plans in this area. There is a great deal to be done. In this context, I suggest holding a special meeting on this subject, thoroughly preparing and comprehensively discussing all aspects of advanced development of the Northern Sea Route, so that we find concrete practical solutions.”

Three new-generation nuclear-powered vessels – the Arktika, Sibir, and Ural – have been floated out from the Baltic Shipyard and are now working in the waters of the Northern Sea Route.

The Chukotka icebreaker has joined this group. In the coming weeks, Russia is planning the delivery of another icebreaker, the Yakutia, which is more than 95 percent complete.

Putin underlined that Russia needs to consider options to create a more efficient pricing model for icebreaker freight transit, so that more carriers and shippers can afford such services, especially since both Russian and foreign companies are showing more and more interest in this route with each passing year.

Russia has also claimed that next year, as agreed, icebreaker Stalingrad of the same series should be laid down. In addition, the next-generation nuclear icebreaker Leader, the most powerful so far, is being built at Zvezda shipyard in the Far East.

“The construction of these powerful modern vessels is yet another embodiment of Russia’s industrial, scientific, technological and human resources potential. It is on the basis of domestic technologies and breakthrough scientific solutions that the national economy should develop,” said Putin.

The Chukotka is 173 metres long (567 ft), 34 metres wide and with a height from the waterline to the mainmast of 57 metres. The height of its side is 15.2 metres and it has a speed of 22 knots in clear water. The Project 22220 icebreaker will be powered by two RITM-200 reactors which each have a thermal capacity of 175 MW. It already has the reactors and most of its main equipment on board, reported World Nuclear News.

It’s also being said that the vessel is the largest and most powerful icebreaker in the world. With a crew capacity of 54 people, the vessel has a water displacement capacity of 33.5 thousand tons. The vessel has RITM-200 reactors, which have a thermal capacity of 350 MW.

Interesting Engineering

👍🏻 Like for Russia-Putin, share for USA/Nazi/NATO 卍

It's a crime for these people to be spending so much on wars when millions are dying of hunger. Just see!

Class01:
I suggest you speak on topics u fully have knowledge about. Funny thing is people are liking and sharing your comments. Nigerians !!!!

Barzinime:
Instead of you to comprehend before commenting, you just had to disgrace yourself.

Nkpitime:
Nuclear energy is not for war equipment alone

Electorate:
It is either you and the clowns that liked your comment did not read the post or you all didn't go to school.

Gandrova:
Is comprehension your problem?

Tyranny and arrogance seem written in the genetic makeup of many Nigerians. No wonder we keep having leaders that reflect these negative values. I'm surprised that this long line of Nigerian young people are not able to see this tech acquisition and the media razzmatazz that goes with in terms of Russia's faceoff with Ukraine and NATO. Yet, instead of asking nicely to be detailed, they are here laying curses on themselves while exposing their ignorance before the public. Nauseating.

I'm very sure those EU clowns that imposed economic sanctions on Russia will have to pay through their nose to use the Northern Sea Route (NSR) because that's the shortest route from Europe to Asia. Moscow will milk this opportunity because they're now a powerful player in the international maritime trade.

Russia is too big and powerful to be isolated.
Indian shipyard is also building not less than four non nuclear powered icebreakers for Russia meant for the Arctic development.

normally no country loves war like the US, if you don’t defend yourself, you will become a slave to them. Russia normally isn’t interested in policing the world but really have to act against those imperialists

Tinubu is interested in converting Nigerian cars to CNG...

He didn't even start with the Aso rock fleet

They surely needed it.

Russia ma pa wa nauu.

So in your mind, you think this is solely a weapon for wars? 😂 😂
Can't y'all read sometimes?

Anything to paint us black and na them go line up for embassy

There are those who get things done, and those that make noise. Russia gets things done. Respect 🫡🫡🫡

SatoshiX:

Needed it how?

How does polluting the clean pristine water of artic continent be a need for one country.

Just the way the industrialized countries polluted the environment and we ALL now dealing with global warming.

Think guys.

War loading

TL;DR: This post isn't about nuclear warheads or warfare; it's about creating more pathways for ships to break through icebergs, thereby clearing more territory for the transportation of goods.

I understand what you might be thinking.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Noise as usual

like for Russia abi? That's why they are killing your role models in gaza and Lebanon like chickens. [quote author=WrriterNg post=132819288][/quote]

Ukraine will take this one out at first attempt...

Imagine a Vessel having 350W Thermal Power the whole Power TCN allocated to Kaduna Daily no reach 200MW which means that Vessel can power a whole State

Just say you don't understand how this is connected to war. Ask nicely and you'd get help.

Learn what an ice breaker is for first

Looting continuing

Amazing

Omo trouble everywhere
