A Ukrainian company has claimed to have developed a stealth submarine, Kronos, that could change the game in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

Highland Systems, the company based in the UAE, first presented the hydrodynamic hull submarine at the Naval Defense and Maritime Security Exhibition (NAVDEX) in 2023.

Alexander Kuznetsov, the founder of Highland Systems and its chief designer, said the submarine was first built for two main purposes – to carry workers for underwater repairs and to serve the super-rich’s luxury travel needs.

However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine forced Kuznetsov and his team to redesign the submarine for military operations.

As per the manufacturers, the submarine has a steel hull covered in composite material to give it a low signature.
