    The Full video where the R-37M screen was from.

    Quite a few R-77-1 and R-37M around that MiG-31, good to see.

    Is this a thread about the Su-57 or a F-35 marketing pamphlet?

    I am reminded of a few years ago on this very forum when EODAS tracking a giant rocket was being circlejerked left and right.

    I could see construction of a Mistral or Mistral-and-a-half sized ship beginning in the second half of the next decade. Depends on funding priority above all in the new GPV. MOD has been stingy with surface fleet money before, reason construction took so long (engines and weapons sytesm aside) is they literally paused payments in the past. See 20380 hulls being conserved @ Severnaya in the 2000s.
    Shipyards can do the work if they are paid. Baltisky Zavod was almost raided of all its assets and sold off for real estate, but they managed to complete their half of the Mistrals without a problem and are doing good work on the nuclear icebreakers. The latter are delayed but not too badly, the delay is not the shipyards fault in any case AFAIK.

    Personally I think such a ship is mostly worthless aside from some niche-roles, but admirals and MOD officials have mentioned it is a possibility.
    I’d venture either Baltisky Zavod (Rakhmananov said they might return to armed ships post 2021), or Zaliv in Crimea could be contenders. Maybe even the new Zvezda shipyard in the far east, but I suspect they will have their hands full with Oil&Gas tankers for the next decade plus, not to mention possibly the huge Leader icebreaker.

    They have wing tip jammer pod on Su-30SM they need to add MAWS on SM like they have on Su-35 …….without MAWS it would not be possible to figure out if IR seeker missile is approaching it

    Should be the AESA anetnna equipped L-265M, finally appearing here and there on Su-30SM, Su-34 and Su-35 have been flying with pods for years.

    yes I agree, not sure why MAWS has not been fitted to either it or the Su-34 yet. The replacement of Thales HUDs is also taking a long time.

    “Russian Helicopters” planning to deliver ~250 helicopters to customers this year. 2018 saw around 200, 2017- 221 helicopters.

    Total production (new-built) of M1A2 variant for US Army has totalled 77 for baseline variant and 240 for improved SEP variant.
    Germany ordered 20 examples of latest Leopard 2A7.
    Not very huge numbers…

    Not only is Scooter clueless about aviation, but clueless about tanks and can’t count either.

    I can’t imagine how he will sleep when he realizes there are now several countries that have bought Abrams, but now moved on to T-90 procurement.

    Lmao! You are intent on making a jackass of yourself, eh? I could care less what you think of “WESTERN” vs RUSSIAN tanks, and won’t be drawn into an argument about that. As always you show laughable knowledge, pathetic Amerikuh-stronkism and basic lack of geopolitical knowledge.

    India signed on for almost 500 tanks over MANY YEARS. Do you not understand that simple concept?

    They made less than 400 under license from 2006 until today. Why don’t you show us your brilliant math and work out how many per year that is?

    This is the last response you will get from me, enjoy making even more of a fool of yourself to the rest of the forum.

    LOL one way to admit you are exposed as talking nonsense.

    Why don’t you post a list of countries buying more tanks yearly these days.
    Nobody buys hundreds of them every year anymore.
    The US Army’s first contract for M1A2Sep3 is a mere ~100 tanks, and is just an upgrade, not a radically new vehicle.

    The T-14 is being bought en-masse, is in serial production, and you should stop talking out your rear end.

    I hate to keep reply to the shitty troll, but this is just too good:

    Literally last year 132 Armata vehicles were ordered. The vehicle is in serial production, and this is first large contract.

    https://ria.ru/20180822/1527030365.html

    What, did you expect them to order the vehicle the day after it was revealed in 2015? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds?

    Don’t be so proud of parading your ignorance.

    Some good news out of Aviastar-SP, after years of delay, the first “serial” Il-76MD-90A was handed over (there were several previous airframes in a pre-serial batch, also a few for A-100 and Il-78MD90-A) :

    The facts have been posted, the rest of your irrelevant blabbing doesn’t interest anyone. Back on the ignore list you go insecure troll. Condolences about the F-35 lmao.

    Anyways, moving on from our village idiot, this stuff has been posted a whole ago, but I did not see it here. Maybe of interest to someone:

    As always, Scooter has no clue what he is babbling about.

    https://russianmilitaryanalysis.wordpress.com/2017/03/17/the-russian-defense-budget-and-you/

    For English speakers- the budget was planned to decrease in the 2nd half of this decade, the decline just seems larger than it really is because in 2016 they spent a large % paying off debts.

    Of course none of that has anything to do with the Su-57 program, not the budget (which in any case actually has a surplus now, so it is a particularly stupid claim to make today).

    Btw, sorry to hear about the F-35 crashing, yet again. “LOL”.

    They uh, misquoted him in that article.

    What Shoigu said was “these ships are planned for service entry by 2025”, meaning the two 22350, two 11711 and one 20386 corvette. There are other ships that will be handed over between then and now, like the 22350s that were laid down a while ago.

    But the big takeaway here is that serial production of M90FR turbines by Saturn to replace the Ukrainian units is finally getting to the point that they feel comfortable laying down new ships after a long hiatus.

    If Admiral Kuznetsov is to be repaired, why not use the centuries old technique of building a cofferdam around it and pumping out the water? There is no need to build another floating drydock to replace the one which sank.

    The current plan, assuming it goes through is to combine and expand the two docks of the 35th Repair Yard nearby.

    photos of the proposal below:

    For reference, the current docks in question:

    Don’t know how common it is or if it has been cleared for service, but it has been spotted outside of MAKS:
