Kaluga, has been in repairs for a long long time.
Looks like work is moving.

And the recently-in-dock Smolensk, undergoing overhaul and 3 year life extension.

Link to all the good photos @ Zvezdochka.
Some of them are Indian Kilos undergoing modernization, including Klub-S installation and the mounting of Indian made equipment.

Rogozin visits NAPO. You can see Superjet elements, and of course Su-34, under construction.
The ones under construction have the same canopy as previous airframes, so much for the rumor of single piece transparency.

Interview with Navy Chief Adm. Vladimir Vysotsky

http://ria.ru/interview/20120209/560467768.html

For those who don’t speak Russia, some key points:
-Belgorod is being completed as special purpose submarine. (Yay!)
-Says some things about Archangelsk and Severstal that are confusing. Says they will remain as nuclear delivery vehicles. Claims some of the missiles remain, even though foreign interests tried to get them destroyed ASAP (the last part is certainly true). Dmitry Donskoy will remain as Bulava tesbed.
-Kronshdadt and Sevastopol (677) will be trialed with new AIP propulsion. The first vessel, Sankt Peterburg, showed inadequate performance. The new boats might be delivered in 2014.
-Liner is deep modernization of Sineva. Sineva already has strongest energy performance of any SLBM. All of the 667 BDRM boats will receive it.
-4th Borei to be laid down this year.
-First Mistrals will go to the East.

MiG-35 or MiG-29M (or K for that matter) can be bought with or without TVC, the changes are minimal to the plane, nozzles aside.

In regards to comparison, what are you looking for?

Very nice indeed.

Any chance the planned USAF F-16 upgrade will include the block 60 engine?

No has yet answered my question of where 250 A-10s will not be inadequate. Nobody is getting rid of the damn plane, hell the fleet just got a nice modernization.

Refit in this case means complete gutting and rebuilding. It’s original age is completely irrelevant.
No offense but the prediction of things breaking up in 5 years is based on….what?

Plus, spare parts support for say MiG-29s in the 90s has little, if anything, to do with support for Vik today. Have there been issues with support for say the Talwars?

Wait, so now the admirals are saying SIX 636.6s for the BSF? Before it was 3 + Alrosa. Wow.

I agree with you Haavarla , but I was talking about MSA radars , not PESA .
Ok ? 😎

Cheers .

What extreme range Russian MSA radars are there though? They all went the PESA route long ago (Zaslon, Bars, Irbis, Zhuk-AE, etc). There are some MSA designs like Zhuk-M of course, but they are fairly standard in terms of range performance.

Thanks for info, out of curiosity how often do Slovak MiG-29s push past Mach 2?
