K-433 Svyatoy Georgiy Pobedonosets (Russian: К-433 «Святой Георгий Победоносец», lit. 'Saint George the Victorious') is a Russian Project 667BDR Kalmar class (NATO reporting name: Delta III) nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine. The submarine was built for the Soviet Navy and has continued to serve in the Russian Navy. K-433 was put in reserve in 1997 and remained there until 2004 when it was recommissioned. As of 2018,[1] it is on active duty.
