Lead trawler of Project 12700 laid down, though ship had factually been in construction for many years. This is the largest ship in the world made of fiberglass.

It was already suspected, but its official. Poliment-Redut behind schedule, should finish work completely within 2-3 years.
Wtf does that mean for Soobrazitelny though, as far as I am aware trials are going fine…
22350 will have phased arrays, if everything goes well, on the first vessel.
Also apparently the 20385s will have AESA, potentially that Phazatron pyramid we saw.
While by no means an expert on the missile, I do believe the engagement mechanics are identical or very similar, and I presume the flight profile has some tweaking to maximize range, much like extra range was achieved via lofting for AAMs.
Photos of Su-34 from “Center-2011”



New Mi-28s and Ka-52s were also employed :



Yep, but they get the job done. Keep in mind it is not exactly the newest of boats, even older American ships don’t look all sexy inside ( recent pic of a Perry http://gallery.greedykidz.net/get/998517/6986.jpg?g2_serialNumber=1) It looks like they did install some kind of screen. Twower mentioned photos were barely allowed of the command centers and operational equipment, but it is likely further “up-to-date” equipment has supplemented the steam gauges.
I was really surprised (pleasantly)by the new facilities in the area for the submariners. These distant navy bases had horrid conditions even a decade before.




OMG! Seriously, someone nominate Twower for president.

Is there a specific reason the Tejas went for the GSh-23 twin barrel?

I love the first comment on that page ^^^
Yeah, calling Russian engineers drunk is pretty funny.
20380s are built at Severnaya Verf, not Sevmash.
Same intake? Really?
Hotdog why even post that garbage.
EDIT: Just saw the title of the pic. Masterful trolling by the pic maker.
Have heard rumors of a Su-30 in Georgia, but so far unsubstantiated (as far as i am aware). Two Su-34s have taken part though, that is fact.
