Sevmash Shipyard to deliver two vessels to Russian Navy by year end — CEO
Sevmash Shipyard CEO Mikhail Budnichenko announced that two ships will be delivered to the Russian Navy by the end of this year. He also provided updates on the Yasen-M submarine Perm and the Admiral Nakhimov cruiser, as well as the future delivery of the submarine Ulyanovsk in 2027.
The head of Russia's Sevmash Shipyard, Mikhail Budnichenko, has said the enterprise will deliver two ships to the Russian Navy by the end of this year. Speaking in early August, Budnichenko said the yard maintains a steady delivery schedule for both civilian and military vessels, noting that over the past 14 years it has handed over 14 nuclear submarines.
"This year will be no exception," he said. "Two ships are scheduled to be delivered to the Navy by the end of this year."
Coverage Comparison
Budnichenko's remarks were carried in two TASS reports. One, published in late July, quoted him at the ceremony marking the removal of the newest Yasen-M-class submarine Ulyanovsk from its building dock, where he said the vessel will be handed over to the Navy in December 2027. The other, dated August 3, focused on the two-ship delivery forecast and provided additional details about ongoing trials of other vessels.
Both reports are based on statements by Budnichenko and the shipyard's press service. No other sources are referenced in the available material.
Key Claims
Sevmash Shipyard will deliver two ships to the Navy by the end of this year, according to CEO Mikhail Budnichenko.
The Project 885M (Yasen-M) nuclear-powered submarine Perm will complete all stages of tests this year, Budnichenko told reporters.
The Project 1144.2M heavy nuclear-powered missile cruiser Admiral Nakhimov has been scheduled for 2.5-month trials. The cruiser meets all stated specifications, and a decision on its acceptance into the Navy will be made based on the trial results, Budnichenko said.
The Yasen-M-class submarine Perm was laid down at Sevmash on July 29, 2016, and launched on March 27, 2025. It is the fifth Yasen-M-class submarine, designed by the Malakhit Central Marine-Engineering Design Bureau.
The Admiral Nakhimov has been undergoing repairs since 1999, with actual upgrading starting in 2013. According to open sources, the modernized cruiser will carry ten universal naval launch systems, each capable of holding eight Kalibr-NK and/or Oniks cruise missiles.
The Yasen-M-class submarine Ulyanovsk is to be handed over to the Russian Navy in December 2027. Budnichenko expressed confidence in the shipbuilders' professionalism, saying, "The enterprise's team has accumulated vast experience, and there is no doubt about the professionalism of the shipbuilders."

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
