50 Years of Victory

Icebreaker

50 Years of Victory is the largest, most sophisticated and powerful icebreaker ever constructed. Twenty years in the making, 50 Years of Victory is the first Arktika-class icebreaker to have a spoon-shaped bow. Boosting the efficiency is the all-new automated digital control system. The ship, designed with a stainless steel ice belt 5 metres wide, breaks through ice up to 2.5 metres thick. The icebreaker is driven by two nuclear reactors that produce 75,000 horsepower. The vessel's top speed in open water can be as high as 21.4 knots.
