The nuclear submarine of a special purpose (APL) "Belgorod" of the project 09852, which is the longest submarine in the world, is preparing for the first exit to the sea. This is reported to "Izvestia" with reference to the source in the defense department of Russia.
"Although the APL was officially laid after the collapse of the Soviet Union, July 24, 1992, in fact, its construction began earlier. That is why Belgorod can be considered the last submarine of the left superpowder, "

It is reported that the submarine will be used as a carrier of a wide range of various underwater devices and robots. In particular, there are unconfirmed information that Belgorod's APL, in addition to Poseidon, can receive an autonomous unmanned apparatus "Clavsine-2r-PM" and atomic deep-sea stations.
