Además, el nuevo torpedo que debería equipar tampoco está listo ya que tiene problemas de estabilidad y es extremadamente explosivo. Por tanto, el nuvo submarino nuclear será equipado con los mismos torpedos que la clase Kursk.

En una traducción resumida, a pesar de que el ministro de defensa asegura que el submarino estará listo este año, al parecer existen problemas con la planta nuclear del equipo, que no suministra la suficiente cantidad de energía que precisa el buque, ni es tan silencioso como se esperaba.Commission of SSGN Severodvinsk Postponed
Project 885 Yasen fourth-generation nuclear-powered cruise missile submarine (SSGN) Severodvinsk will be commissioned into Russian Navy not earlier than 2013 due to problems in nuclear powerplant, reports business newspaper Vzglyad referring to Interfax and an insider in Russian defense industry.
"It was found out at the trials of SSGN Severodvinsk that her nuclear powerplant did not produce required power. Moreover, the sub does not keep designed level of silence. The submarine with such serious defects cannot join the Navy", said the source of Interfax.
In addition, Dagdiesel Plant has not executed the contract for a new homing torpedo designed for Yasen-class submarines, said the interviewee. "So far, the new torpedo with required performance characteristics is not ready. The weapon they have made is dangerously explosive so cannot be used in submarines", explained the source. According to him, if production of the new torpedo continues protracting, Severodvinsk can be armed with torpedoes used by Kursk-type nuclear subs.
Russian deputy defense minister Alexander Sukhorukov told reporters on Aug 8 that "the sub is on trials in the White Sea, and then will head from shallow waters to the Barents Sea". He expressed confidence that the sub would finish trials in the current year, since "the manufacturer faces delay damages every day".[...]
