Historical Information and Submarine Usage

Kilo Class is the NATO reporting name for the Russian Project 877 submarines, produced since the early 1980s by the USSR and later Russia. These submarines are characterized by their quiet operation, making them difficult to detect—hence the nickname "black holes of the ocean." The Trumpeter 05903 model replicates vessels widely used by the Soviet and Russian Navy, and also operated by fleets of China, India, Iran, Algeria, among others. The Kilo Class played a key role during the Cold War and in the post-Cold War era, remaining actively used up to the present day.
