Hello
other picture the Item 9, is a ASW weapon
Ahhh, yes… I think that is the PMK-2 anti submarine mine. It is dropped by aircraft in water 100m to 1,000m deep. The rear end as a short ballast section that anchors the mine to the sea floor and a cable attaches to the rest of the mine which floats vertically with the nose of the weapon pointing straight up. It listens for noises and when it detects a target and identifies it and determines its position it launches a torpedo carried inside the main body of the weapon. I think the West calls such weapons Encapsulated torpedos.
Can anyone confirm this?
I am not entirely convinced as although it seems to be the right shape it should be almost 6 metres long if it is a PMK-2.

re unidentified missiles
items 9 and 12 are almost certainly carrying canisters for the two associated missiles which are the Fakel 9M96 (item 10) (part of the S-400 SAM complex) and the 9M100 (item 11) – also believed to be a Fakel design – 9M100 may be a IR-guided point defense SAM – pic was taken no later than the mid-1990s

9 looks like a mockup for the future R-37M but with no actual fins fitted. Weapon 10 actually looks like a 9M91 missile in the new SA-20 SAM system which would make it a long range ARH AAM. 11 is probably a mockup of the R-74 which was to use a fully TVC nozzle and therefore not need control surfaces for flight. 12 I am not sure.
The fact that they are blank white mockups suggests they are “new” designs.
Weapon 10 might actually be the new replacement for the Kh-25 series of AGMs.
The aircraft itself is the Su-35 and it is supposed to be marketted as the latest and bestest… hence the other weapons displayed with it like the Moskit (6), the Kh-65 (5), the Kh-15 AS-16 Kickback (4), the KS-172 long range AAM (2) and the Club AShM (1). (To complete the list the KAB-1500 is (3) and the weapons listed as 7 and 8 are AS-13 Kingbolts (which use the silver pointed targetting pod behind the right KAB-1500 and to the left of 4 and 5) and is a SLAM type weapon. This has been replaced by the AS-18 Kazoo which basically does the same thing over a longer range.
