Stalin's invasion plan mainly involved ground forces. Additionally, the northern Russian waters are icy, providing a major natural obstacle to any sort of surface navy. As the result, the Soviet Navy was seriously under equipped. But as a sea force was quickly determined to be necessary, a ship that could either break through ice or dive underneath it was required. As submarines trade off increased construction costs for extra protection from air attack and long range detection, the Soviets chose to develop the Victor class submarine.

| - Stalin's invasion plan mainly involved ground forces. Additionally, the northern Russian waters are icy, providing a major natural obstacle to any sort of surface navy. As the result, the Soviet Navy was seriously under equipped. But as a sea force was quickly determined to be necessary, a ship that could either break through ice or dive underneath it was required. As submarines trade off increased construction costs for extra protection from air attack and long range detection, the Soviets chose to develop the Victor class submarine. Victor class submarines feature a teardrop shape, which allows them to travel at high speeds. These vessels were primarily designed to attack the Allied navy (especially cruisers) and shore (water based) installation. Being the only backbone of Soviet Navy force, the ship was enjoying much of Soviet encumbrances and resources. As such, the price of a submarine is (unbelievable) comparable with a cost association of a Heavy Tank. This feature enabled the Soviet Union to field a large number of this type of submarine. The submarine is outfitted with torpedo bays and has to come to shallow waters to fire its torpedoes, due to the nature of most naval engagements (close to landmasses). The torpedoes are frighteningly effective against most naval vessels and Naval yards. The submarines suffer from the lack of any land attack means and have to be supported by aircraft. This might be a strong reason why Britain is spared from the European war theater in the beginning the war.
