    By the way, I am surprised it was not mentioned here. A week or so ago another Su-27 (SM?) crashed. Thankfully pilot lived. Sad, second potential SM crash, but these are some of the most active assets in the RuAF.

    Klub, Yakhont, whatever.

    Akulas? As in project 971? Why would they want to use Klub, they can use Granat.

    Hand over of the Gorhskov has been pushed back to 2012. Damn, though not altogether unexpected. Hopefully this does not affect severely the time frames of the other ships (or soon to be ships) of the class.

    Well the Russian AF ordered 22 Mi-35s. Are these additional Brazilian Mi-35s on top of that?

    Ok, now that we are all guessing what units the RuNavy will get by 2020, I thought I’d share my list. Critisism is welcome. I think guessing for 2020 is too difficult, given changes in previous gosplans before they were up, lack of clarity in future financial situation, shipbuilding, whatever. I agree with Snake that by a few years situation will clear up considerably. So, this is my list for pre-2016, to compensate for “through 2015” construction timeframe. Ships listed are either have their flags raised or are fitting out/finishing. Question mark implies some doubt if the ship will be ready in time.

    Ahh, finally interesting stuff. Following Russian navy was so hard for years, when only promises and stupidly optimistic plans were available. Now we have juicy pics regularly.

    Wow, what kind of altitude was that launch from? How was target acquisition performed?
